Tesco Bank has confirmed that some customers are still unable to access their online accounts, several days after the bank said a computer glitch had been fixed.<\/p>\n

Tesco’s website was hit by technical problems at the weekend after the bank updated its computer systems.<\/p>\n

It later apologised to customers and said the issue had been sorted.<\/p>\n

But Tesco has now admitted some customers are still unable to access their cash online.<\/p>\n

A Tesco spokesman said: “We are aware that some customers are experiencing difficulties accessing their accounts when using Internet Explorer 9.”<\/p>\n

He added the company would be providing information to customers on Wednesday “to enable these customers to access their accounts using Internet Explorer 9”.<\/p>\n

‘Service restored’<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tesco Bank’s online service was hit at the weekend when the firm transferred savings and loans products in-house, from its previous joint operation with RBS.<\/p>\n

A message on the bank’s website stated it would like “to reassure customers that service has been restored”.<\/p>\n

When I called Tesco’s customer service I found it very difficult to get through. It is an unmitigated disaster\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

It also said it had drafted in extra call centre staff to handle an increase in the number of calls in the wake of the technical problem.<\/p>\n

But several customers contacted the BBC to complain they still were unable to complete the log-in process to their accounts.<\/p>\n

Colin Macleod, a nurse based in Stirling, said he had attempted to log in to his Tesco internet savings account on Wednesday morning but could not access his money.<\/p>\n

Mr Macleod, who has been a Tesco Bank customer for more than three years, said: “In the last stage of the process, it was coming up with ‘credential set-up general error’ and I was unable to access my account.<\/p>\n

“And when I called Tesco’s customer service I found it very difficult to get through. It is an unmitigated disaster.”<\/p>\n

The Tesco spokesman said: “The service has been restored but as a result of the intermittent technical issues that we have had over the past few days, we are experiencing a high level of calls which mean that customers are having to wait longer then we would like them to.”<\/p>\n

The bank, which operates in stores, online and by telephone, has 6.5 million customer accounts, with services ranging from insurance to credit cards, loans and personal savings offers.<\/p>\n

It launched in 1997 as Tesco Personal Finance, a joint venture with RBS, but became fully owned by Tesco in 2008.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
