If you've spent half the morning trying to get a handle on your finances, but haven't gotten very far, you're not alone.

Allied Irish Bank customers have been met with 'connection error' messages when attempting to log in to their account through the bank's official app.

Taking to social media to alert their customers to the issue, Aib Customer Support tweeted: "We're experiencing technical issues on Internet, Tablet & Mobile Banking and are working towards a resolution, appreciate your patience."

As of yet, the customer service department are unable to offer the public a time frame regarding its resolution, telling customers: "I'm afraid we have no update on a time frame as of yet, but we will send an update out once we do."

It is important to note that AIB customers are still able to use their cards and carry out transactions in branch as normal.
