Faster payments from LTSB

Milarky

I've tried sending money out this morning and (oh dear!) it's the same dreaded situation as (we had for about a year) with any payment attempted (for all amounts tried, down to 1p) now being marked for sending tomorrow - and that probably means going via BACS when it does leave.

Can anyone else confirm their LTSB faster payments (out) are not working today?

I had a LTSB account for 18 months, in that time i managed to send 1, yes 1 payment for £50 which arrived within 2 hours and even then i had to do it via telephone banking, i never had success with online and was openly told by their staff that they hadnt rolled out the service yet. Appalling and IMO, LTSB are the worst bank there is for the faster payments service, shocking at best.

Still working fine, just sent £1k to Halifax, received instantly.

As per OP for me.

I send FPs daily and this is the first time in a while that they have been down on Lloyds TSB (I tried sending to HSBC and NatWest, so it does appear to be a general Lloyds issue rather than specific to one recipient bank).

(If Lloyds to Halifax is working that would appear to indicate that those payments are now being routed via an internal transfer system given that they are part of the same banking group).

Just sent money to Ulster Bank (Natwest) via LLoyds FPS, worked first time. As it always does. Not sure what the post above regarding them being the worst for FPS is all about. They always go FPS for me via online banking each and every time.

My FPs with Lloyds generally go through ok. If they don't then I just try later.
