Barclays bank is experiencing serious IT problems which are affecting its app and online banking, as well as payments in and out of accounts.

The bank says it is also unable to provide help via telephone or its "Message us" service.

It says cards and cash machines can be used as normal - though some customers have said this is not the case.

The outage is occurring on what is pay day for many people in the UK, and the deadline for self-assessment tax returns.

Barclays has not explained the cause of the IT problems, or how many people are affected but has apologised and says it is "working hard to fix the issue".
