A third of the UK’s online users avail themselves of internet banking, according to Comscore.

In January of this year, 11 million people utilised at least one banking service online, with Lloyds TSB gaining the most hits, attracting 2.8m users.

Although RBS Group had more visitors (2.9m) they visited less often than the 6.8 visits averaged by Lloyds TSB.

The other big beasts of British banking, HBOS, HSBC and Barclays, also saw more than a million users access their online services during January.
