Not been able to buy the groceries due to 'problems with their banking services'. Anyone else had this problem? Does anyone know when it's going to be resolved? We want our dinner tonight :)

    I tried one of their cash machines this morning and it wasn't playing, but I went inside the branch and had better luck...

    I think it's 'Inpersonal' when they have their machines outside.

    I always go inside, Even thou they don't want you in.:o

    We had one of our ATMs go out of service today, but not seen anything else. Not had any problems using my debit or credit card with them today.

    *shrugs* it might depend on your shop. HSBC's merchant services division might have got in a bit of a tizzy, not heard anything though (would have done usually).

    No, and they don't need to. We're sitting pretty right now.
