New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….
Original story (published on August 05, 2022) follows:
Metro Bank is a young banking institution (founded in 2010) whose operations are centered in the United Kingdom.
Metro Bank says it’s a banking institution independent of any other. It also offers the classic services offered by this type of institution as well as advantages such as low fees and more.
Customers can also access loans, credits, cards and more, in addition to their bank accounts through the website or the mobile app.
That said, currently Metro Bank users are unable to access the service as their servers are down or not working, affecting both the website and the app.
Metro Bank app and website currently down or not working
According to multiple reports, no Metro Bank customer can access their accounts. Neither the app nor the website is working so users are unable to check or transfer their funds.
@MetroBank_Help Can’t log into my accounts again today. Screen stuck on ‘You’ve successfully logged out.’ page. Despite restarting my phone and app not needing an update.

@MetroBank_Help is there a problem with your website and app? I’ve tried logging on to my account all morning on both systems and keep getting an error message. This is my business account so it’s causing me some major issues.
