LONDON: Britain's Lloyds Banking Group suffered an outage on Jan 1 that left customers of its Lloyds, Halifax and Bank of Scotland operations unable to access accounts online for several hours.
Disruption to online services is a periodic problem for Britain's banks, and last month regulators told lenders they needed to resolve problems more swiftly.
