    Same here. Very glad I bought my train tickets earlier today... Must get a backup bank account in place. Any suggestions?

    I think any would work for a backup - however bad they are unlikely to both be out of action. Nationwide has just opened a new cheque account that pays 5% interest (with conditions) for 1yr and Santander have been doing one with 3% for some while. Both feature on this site but only of use if you pay in £1000 per month. For backup just a simple account with any of the high street banks or First Direct get good reviews..

    Natwest just back online for me at 22:50.. I don't like carrying more plastic cards around than I have to but good idea to have ones credit card with a different bank than ones debit card......

    Payment made, :D

    Was just going to bed and thought I would give it one last try on my phone and it worked lol, I can sleep now :rotfl:
    I wouldn't get too excited, a friend has just paid me via 'pay your contacts' on the mobile app and it's left her but hasn't reached me.

    Quite agree.... they crashed last year and seems they haven't learnt a lesson. However, don't loose any sleep as the boss of this state owned bank is due to get £800,000 bonus after his bank has just been fined nearly £400,000,000.

    The tax payer is footing the bill for the fine too BTW. Happy little bankers:mad:
