Lloyds Faster Payments Broken ?

Ryan101

For the last year I have had 3 x Standing orders go out on the 15th of the month, 1 to a Lloyds savings account, 1 to a barclays account and 1 to my Bank of Scotland reward account.

These have always credited instantly in the other accounts. This morning only the Lloyds one has credited instantly and the other two have not.

Is anyone else having this problem, they have all debited my Lloyds account.

Thanks.

There was a problem with Lloyds on the 9/2 but not heard anything today. I'll keep you posted if I hear anything =D

Was expecting a regular every tuesday payment today from Lloyds to Coventry Builing Soc., but has not happened Lloyds say they have no knowledge of any problems?

WENDESDAY - Still no payment received from Lloyds (they say you should still allow upto 3 working days. So why call it faster payment) ?

They say wait three days as sometimes the faster payment system will fail for various reasons and so the payment is sent by BACS instead.

I can confirm there has been a problem with Standing Orders this week.

Some of them have not been sent via FP, they have gone via BACS. They will not credit the benificary's account within 2 hours. They will credit within 3/4 working days.

Thanks for the information, it's a shame that Lloyds Bank can not admit that there was a problem, but that we need to find out from someone else. Thanks again.
