Barclays says IT glitch that locked customers out of accounts is fixed

Fault caused major problems with payments for two days and reportedly disrupted house moves

Barclays says it has fixed the IT glitch that left thousands of customers locked out of their accounts on Friday and Saturday, and promised to compensate them for any losses incurred.

The bank said customers could use its payment apps and online services, although some still faced a wait on Sunday to check updated balances and whether payments had been processed.
