System keeps asking me to confirm my identity when trying to send money

I am trying to make a payment but although I have successfully logged in, the system keeps asking me to authenticate/verify my identity via my mobile (either by text or call) over and over after I enter the payment details. I cannot get beyond this loop. This has never happened before and I make frequent payments to the person I am trying to pay. It seems like a system error but can anyone shed any light on why this is happening and how to fix it? Thanks.

Ok well I'm glad it's not just me! How to get out of the loop though. Anyone got any ideas?

Actually I just got it to work on the iPad using the app. The problem I was having was using my desktop, which is generally how I make payments.
