THERE WERE LOTS of frustrated Bank of Ireland customers today who were locked out of their accounts when they tried to access them on their phones and online.

Now it appears the problem has been fixed with customers who reported the problem on Twitter saying they have been able to log-in.

The app and website were both blocking people from accessing their accounts for hours earlier, as some customers reported they were being told their log-in details were incorrect.

@Celtic_Trev Hi, some customers are getting 'Incorrect PIN'. We have our tech teams investigating this. Apologies for inconvenience. ^BL
