Nationwide and First Direct have both confirmed issues with their online banking systems on Friday morning.
Both banks said they were working to return their systems to normal.
Nearly 700 Nationwide customers are flagging problems with their mobile, online banking and viewing their account balances.
Nationwide said in a message on its website that "some incoming and outgoing payments are delayed at the moment", but that "everything else is working normally".
It said direct debits and standing orders were working as normal, but that payments were in a queue and would arrive soon, adding that customers did not need to do anything.
Meanwhile, First Direct confirmed on its website that both its mobile and online banking were "experiencing issues with payments".
Hundreds of TSB, Cooperative Bank and Bank of Scotland have reported issues on Downdetector as well.
Disgruntled customers have taken to X, formerly Twitter, fuming about the outage which comes on payday for many.
One Lloyds member said: "I've worked 2 long weeks to be paid today and now i can't access my accounts on the app or desktop site.
"It is imperative this is resolved IMMEDIATELY."
A Halifax customer fumed: "I can't get in the app!!"
Meanwhile, someone who banks with TSB posted an angry emoji alongside the message: "Well done the app is down and so is internet banking! I can’t log into to either and I need money to get to work."

Barclays said the outage was caused by a technical issue and was not related to a cyber attack or any malicious activity.
