UK’s NatWest Suffer’s New ‘Bank Glitch’

July 27, 2012 By 6 Comments

First Nationwide, and now RBS’ NatWest has reported a 2nd bank glitch.
Sounds more like a solvency glitch to us.

First Nationwide, now NatWest suffers second systems glitch
NatWest has become the second financial institution to report technical problems with its systems today after up to 2m Nationwide transactions were duplicated.

NatWest said on its Twitter feed: “Some customers may have issues with their online banking and using their debit cards at the moment. Working as hard as we can to resolve. We’ll post updates as soon as we have more information.”
Cash machine withdrawals using debit cards are also affected, the bank added.
Earlier in the summer the bank suffered a major systems collapse when millions of customers were unable to check their balances, withdraw cash or make payments. NatWest promised that no customers would be left out of pocket as a result of the technology problems.

Today customers of Nationwide, the country’s biggest building society, said around 704,000 customers were affected by an apparent technical problem with the mutual’s payment systems.
The building society confirmed that there was an “issue” with debits from accounts. It said on Twitter: “An issue with debit card transactions is affecting some customers. Sorry, accounts will be corrected.”

    MSM has been downplaying(not reporting) all the online banking “glitches” in Europe this summer.  It’s not just NatWest.  France, Germany, and Russia have been hit, too.   What’s really going on?  Does anyone know?

    This is MOPE in action!   You slowly lull the sheep into thinking these glitches “happen” regularly over time and when there are serious liquidity problems you just pull the same card again under the cover of glitches.

    Diabolical.

    The majority of your money should not be in any bank.  You should only keep enough to handle your bills. 

    I feel sorry for the sheep!!!

    More likely caused by crappy Indian IT application support.

    I noticed 2-3 disruptions this year. The latest was SubWay’s card reader was offline, but only on dialup. 
    Others were separate banks… most I have seen in a short space of time, ever.
