Ah, maybe that's why money I've just moved from Santander to Lloyds isn't showing yet.

Lloyds is down, other banks should be ok

If you can bare to be in hold for over half an hour, give your sending bank a call an ask for advice. I was told to call back later this afternoon and not to try making the payment again as it'll likely go out twice

Edit - I was told it's all banks using the Faster System (by someone at Lloyds admittedly)

So if it's just Lloyds Group then Halifax, RBS, Barclays should also be down ?

Thanks so much for posting this, Unrecordings; I've been trying to transfer some money from my Lloyds account to Nationwide and got the message that I should check my statement for up to two hours, to see if it will go to its destination.

As it seems to be a fault with Lloyds Faster Payments and the money hasn't actually left my account, I'm not going to bother to ring their expensive phone line at this stage.

I hope they can get their act together soon! :cool:
