TSB bank runs, who is next?

I actually just logged in from my bookmark (could not yesterday), but it took several goes and told me a couple of times my details were incorrect when they weren't. Managed to see one account but when clicked to see the other account was logged out instead. Not as simple as the limited access they claim, still bugs.

And, since they have failed to mention it in either their email or on their upgrade page, for anybody that uses desktop banking

From 22 April 2018 the web address you see when using Internet Banking will be changing. Currently the web address begins with https://online.tsb.co.uk and will change to https://internetbanking.tsb.co.uk

Northern rock in the uk, Deutschland bank in Germany to name a few

Northern Rock failed in February 2008, i. e. over a decade ago, so hardly recent.

Deutschland Bank never existed. Perhaps you mean Deutsche Bank? They didn't fail and are still trading.

What are we suppose to do, have several bank accounts to spread the risk?

In a word, yes.

CEO said on radio this morning. No dates as to when it starts or ends though.

trying to stop an exodus I think.

Thank you, I did miss something!

I wonder if this will attract new customers and indeed if they would qualify for the 5%. Before the IT debacle it would certainly have enticed many new customers.

Also, as a way of saying thank you to our customers for sticking with TSB through these issues, we're increasing the interest rate on our Classic Plus account from 3% to 5% from 2 May.

I just logged on to the TSB site to check the balance of my old C&G mortgage and there was no mortgage showing. Does this mean I dont have a mortgage any more?

Hmmmm.... their web page still says 3%! - Complete shambles!
Even if they raise it to 5% then that's only £2.50/month extra - cheers!
They should deposit £1,000 per account to say sorry, should come out of Mr Pester's bonus!

A bit unfair, I think. The OP said that they have their rent money in their account and it's due to be paid next week - that's likely to be hundreds of pounds. Not everyone is in the fortunate postion of being able to keep reasonably large amounts of money in multiple accounts on the offchance that one will not be available, and failure to pay rent could see them evicted.

Oh come on, you cannot be serious, Mr Pester said everyone would be okay, they would pay for any losses if written evidence is supplied, so that's got that one covered, and how much can a months rent be, only a a grand on average, and everyone has that to hand surely.

Any landlord would understand anyway and make an allowance.

Forget it and move on.
