TSB bank runs, who is next?

I have a TSB account with all my rent money in, it!!!8217;s due on the 1st May, do you think they will unlock accounts by then?

If not then my mo he is guaranteed by the Glover isn!!!8217;t it?

With all these banks failing, I!!!8217;m starting to think it!!!8217;s worth getting all funds out of the banks and keeping cash at home?

    Find a large brown paper bag
    Place it over your mouth and nose.
    Breathe in and out slowly and deeply.

    Chill.

    Or just log your expenses, complain and ask for compensation.

    Don't worry, while your mo he is not guaranteed by the Glover it is protected by it

    Pardon? Could you repeat this in English, please, or could someone else translate?

    No banks have failed in recent years.

    You could keep all your money at home, but that would be rather foolish, as it would be less safe than it would in a bank.

    AnotherJoe offers excellent advice.

    I logged in ok at 3am-ish, 9-ish when I got home from work and have just logged in once again, are you saying you can't access your accounts?

    Same here, I tried earlier without problems.

    After all the problems with different banks over the years I still find it amazing that people rely on a single bank card for all their transactions.
    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.

    Some people just cannot cope with a minor inconvenience, #snowflakes - real problems are when your house gets destroyed in the blitz - not being able to open your TSB app is not a problem folks, it'll all be back next week and forgotten the week after.

    TSB has experienced issues only as a result of the one-time massive data migration from Lloyds systems into Sabadell (who purchased TSB some time ago).

    I don't think anyone should have any knee-jerk reaction towards all other banks just because of this.
