RBS/NatWest IT Down

[kal]

Yeah, right giggle isn't it?
Thing is that things continued to work whilst the people that had maintained the systems for years & knew all its foibles continued to keep them up & running. Then those people were laid off and the responsibility for keeping the lights was handed to a mob that came in with the lowest bid.

And whose fault is that?

The thing about banks is that nobody ever fixes anything, everyone seems to be working on something that is pinned to raising someone's profile in the bank. Systems get dragged all ways by year on year of "I need to do something to get promoted, I'll get in charge of this system, get the developers to bang in a bunch of inappropriate changes that the system was never in a million years designed to cope with then get my bonus and move on"

HSBC has struggled all afternoon with my business account. I eventually got on and found my invoice payment is late again. ☹
They have 30 day payment terms which seems to translate into 1st of the.next month or later if that falls on a weekend. I know it's trivial but other agencies with the same terms have paid within days of being invoiced.

Why the RBS computer keeps saying no – Telegraph Blogs

Total garbage.

Most of the financial systems the Bobs now maintain were initially fooked up by UK staff, we can't absolve ourselves of the blame, we set the sails wrong and jumped off the ship when the rocks appeared on the horizon.

More pash.

Total garbage.

What the scraping of the natwest systems merging everyone on to the older but cheaper rbs systems isn't true?

The issue had nothing to do with using or not using the original natwest kit. Someone is trying to sell a book and the pi$$ poor news agency will use this as a cheap talking head. It was simply a change that went wrong. Same as last time.
