A spokesperson for the bank giant said on Wednesday afternoon: "All our services are back up and running."

"We are sorry for the inconvenience caused, and if customers are still experiencing any issues, please leave it a few minutes and try again."

Lloyds Banking Group says it is the UK's largest retail and commercial banking provider, with 26 million customers across Lloyds Bank, Halifax and Bank of Scotland.

A spokesperson for the bank giant said earlier on Wednesday: "We're aware some customers are having issues with our app and online banking. We're really sorry about this, and we're working hard to fix it."

In response to a customer reporting they could not access their account, Halifax posted on X: "Some customers are having issues with accessing our Mobile App right now. Bear with us as we fix this."

One Lloyds customer on social media said the bank went down as she tried to send money to someone.

Another said they were not able to access online banking on the app or the website.

In a message on the Lloyds app, the bank said: "Sorry, we're having a few technical problems. Logging in again may fix the issue, but if this doesn't help, please try again later."

It showed a 503 error message, which indicates a server is not ready to handle requests.

Equal-weight ETFs, such as the Invesco S&P 500 Equal Weight ETF (RSP), are attracting investors due to concerns over concentration risk in major indices like the S&P 500, dominated by the 'Magnificent 7' mega-cap tech companies. RSP has outperformed the market-weighted S&P 500 by roughly 3% year-to-date, reaching over $100 billion in assets.
