RBS 'Computer Glitch'

I reckon this might be the **** up that takes them down. Nobody of sound mind who can do so is going to continue banking with them, assuming that it's even possible to continue banking with them which at the moment is looking like a bit of a stretch, so even if they do sort it out they will be left with only the feckless and terminally overdrawn on their books.

What, after all the money that was thrown at it and all the bonuses paid.

Might be a quick way of pilfering the public purse though, buy it for a song, rebrand and sell.

My one NatWest current account is showing -£61 where it should be showing £14,000+.

I have (Many) direct debits due out for the weekend from that account too.

I think I have a right to be concerned

I'm taking a stroll over to the NatWest when they open

I may take a stroll to another bank too and open another account.

Mmm. Think I may have a little look. I've got a businss account, but I haven't paid anything in for a few months as I'm waiting on invoices. Surely they cant have fecked up a static balance.

The large RBS bonus payments subsequent to the UK government bailouts have led to controversy.[17] Staff bonuses were nearly £1 billion in 2010, even though RBS reported losses of £1.1 billion for 2010. More than 100 senior bank executives were paid in excess of £1 million each in bonuses.[18]

84 percent of the RBS is now owned by the UK government (taxpayer), which bought RBS stock for £45 billion, representing 50 pence per share. In 2011, the shares were worth 19 pence, representing a taxpayer book loss of £26 billion. Historically, the RBS stock price went from a high of over 700 pence in early 2007 (taking into account a 3 for 1 stock split that took place later that year) to around 20 pence in late 2011.

There will probably be some contractual lock in on the outsourcing deal. They'll get more money breaking the mainframes up and selling them for parts on ebay.

Nah fine. Phew.

Unlucky Diver! Ahhhhhhhh you're tulip! :

I had a negative balance on my RBS business account until today. They have apparently managed to fix my account - I think on this occasion I will forgive and stick with them since I have been with them for 12 years. If it happens again then I will have no choice but to switch banks.

My accounts seem fine now. But I do think once I move house this weekend, and udpate the company details, I will be moving banks. This is a really piss take!!

What confused me at weekend was that online, it wouldnt let me transfer money, internal or external, yet on the Android app I paid a bill and moved some money... WTF??

Exactly the same for me.... They disabled the feature online but I could do what I wanted using iPhone. Anybody else who has worked for banks will not be completely surprised by all this.... I can't believe I am going back to one in a few weeks time!

I've just logged onto the mrs 5* account to check everything is ok, but it looks like they have cocked up big time.

The balance is quite low and there appear to be transactions for a shoe shop that she claims she never did
