Did the Lloyds / Halifax problem yesterday effect Bank of Scotland ?

There was a lot of talk about this Lloyds / Halifax problem yesterday with customers unable to get cash etc, but no mention of Bank of Scotland Customers ?, where they effected or was it only Halifax and Lloyds Customers, is the bank of Scotland still separate ?.

An interesting point was that on my Halifax online banking yesterday all my accounts where showing as balance N/A accept for the Credit card which was showing normally, where Credit cards not effected ?.

I've just tried to get money out a Cooperative Bank ATM it came up with dispensing error. Is this due to the problem stated?

The problem was resolved yesterday afternoon.

Most likely is that the ATM is empty or has a fault.

BoS sits on the same system. So I'd assume BoS customers were affected the same way.

The credit card system is different to the savings and banking system used by LBG.
