HSBC then quickly apologised to customers, saying it was looking into reports of the crash.

It said on X: "Some customers are having issues accessing online and mobile banking as usual right now.

"We’re really sorry and are investigating as a matter of urgency. We will share an update as soon as possible."

Of the 2,800 people who claimed they were having issues, more than had said it was mobile banking playing up.
