The banks’ clients’ anger has been further compounded after many who tried to phone up to complain discovered that their phone lines were also down. Some customers reported having to leave their shopping behind while others said they have been left unable to access their bank accounts, just before the weekend starts. A Halifax spokeswoman said the hitches were the result of a ‘systems failure’, which has affected the group’s telephone systems as well as ATMs and online services.”
