CHAPS/RTGS down today

In case you're expecting to make a CHAPS payment today the system has been taken down by the Bank of England as part of a wider issue with the Real Time Gross Settlement system. The BoE have promised that "all payments made today will be processed" but it's not clear when the backlog will be cleared.

  • Oh great, I was expecting 2 payments today. This excuse will probably be used for a week or so on me now!

    Thanks for the heads up.

    Just seen this on website.

    No mention of Faster Payments so I assume that's working fine.
    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.
