"Technology communications problems reported by the Bank yesterday have been fixed overnight. Systems are now working normally although there is some catch-up work to complete," the central bank said in a statement.
The BoE expected to process payments as normal on Friday, but added that wholesale counterparty transactions may be dealt with later in the day than normal.
The outage did not affect the general public or the main high-speed interbank payments service, CHAPS, the BoE said.
