Bank of England statement: IT issues - update

Technology communications problems reported by the Bank yesterday have been fixed overnight.
Published on 26 January 2018

Systems are now working normally although there is some catch-up work to complete. We expect to be able to process business as normal today but in order to catch up from yesterday, wholesale counterparty transactions may be dealt with somewhat later in the day than usual.

The real-time gross settlement (RTGS) service and the CHAPS system continue to operate as normal, so – as was the case yesterday - the general public will see no impact on any of their banking services.
