    Who could have possibly imagined computing systems could occasionally crash!?

    After all the high-profile crashes over the last few years, anyone still deciding it's best to just have one bank account and rely on it for 100% of their cash requirements deserves all the inconvenience they get at times like this!

    VERY disappointed in MSE's coverage of this - - why are you suggesting to people they might want to switch accounts? We all know that computer problems can hit any outfit any time (even MSE wouldn't be immune, lol), so why not be grown-up about it and recommend that people have backup arrangements for such situations? Like: a second current account at an unrelated bank or BS, a VISA and a Mastercard credit card etc.

    Affiliate link clicks.

    Most of them are hidden, however clicking on the Santander 123 link takes you to this page: http://www.moneysupermarket.com/money/providers/santander-123-current-account.aspx.

    MoneySupermarket.com? I'm sure I've heard that somewhere before.

    I agree with innovate's post, unless someone in MSE has an inside line to Nationwide how can they possibly know that the cause is a "blunder"? If you don't know something surely it's better to say so rather than risk panicking people by using eyecatching headlines?
