Customers of the Lloyds banking group, which includes Bank of Scotland, Halifax and TSB, are having problems with cash machines and cards today.
Many people are unable to withdraw cash, or use their debit cards to make purchases.
Lloyds say they are working to resolve the problem.
A Lloyds Banking Group spokeswoman said: "We are aware that some customers are unable to use their debit cards either to make purchases or to withdraw money from ATMs.
"We are working hard to resolve this as swiftly as possible and apologise for any inconvenience caused."
Disgruntled customers expressed their dissatisfaction on social media.
Carl Bullivant tweeted: "Wife's card declined in Asda had to go get my card from home how embarrassing standing and waiting #poorbankingservice."
Essie Young wrote: "Didn't even want to be a @TSB customer when LTSB split! Couldn't buy my twins bday presents today with TSB card! #fuming #customerservice."
Another customer tweeted: "@TSB left me unable to pay for my shopping and no access to my money. TSB are a joke."
Another Twitter user wrote: "This problem is also affecting Halifax debit cards as I found out trying to pay for lunch with my wife!"
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
