The lender said that “duplicate, historical transactions” had been appearing in some business customers’ balances.
Customers have reacted with alarm over the missing money, with some claiming they had been pushed them into their overdrafts.
One tweeted: “Utter shambles regarding duplicate historical transactions being taken from customer accounts without any notification from you this has happened.
