Is anyone else finding the NatWest/RBS apps are quite glitchy today?

Whenever I got to confirm a payment I'm making it comes up with an error message saying it was unable to establish a connection, then if I go back and try again once or twice it works.

Been having the same for a few days now.

So what I've found out is they will deny there's anything wrong, will advise uninstalling the app, making sure the app is upto date etc, you don't need to, just simply disconnect your internet connection and reconnect your internet connection then try the payment again, it should now work.

I've had it recently happen with both NatWest and RBS, I'm assuming it's probably an Ulster bank issue also.

It's really odd because internal transfers work fine, just transfers out don't, also the fact the app says connection issue yet all my other apps were working, the fact I could message them in social media etc, but yeah resetting my connection sorted it.

I don't remember this ever happening to me before so can only assume it's a recent thing.

On another note TSB app seems to be down, Google only seem to have picked up a The Sun article about it.

I've tried that but still seem to be getting the issue. I don't even have to disconnect/reconnect to my internet to get it to work though, simply go back a screen and then try again and after 1 or two attempts it works.

With regards to TSB online banking seems to be working fine for me and was doing earlier this morning.

I've made 24 FPs from my RBS app this AM without a hitch (and 10 inbound). TSB seemed fine too.

Not sure then, but clearly issues if me, you & at least 1 person on x have been having issues.

As for TSB

More sites have picked up on it now though just search TSB down on Google news search

TBS app isn't working for me right now, but no problems spending with my debit card. Natwest was working fine for me earlier.

When does 'The New Top Easy Access Savings Discussion Area' become 'The Top Easy Access Savings Discussion Area'? It's almost 15 months old and 321 pages in. Or when it's retired does the next iteration become 'The New New Top Easy Access Savings Discussion Area'?

No, when ``The New Top Easy Access Savings Discussion Area" gets retired it'll become ``The Newest Top Easy Access Savings Discussion Area".

I thought that as Savings Week was formed and promoted by the Building Societies association there would be many attractive offers by its members to coincide with the event but apparently this is not the case as societies seem content only to push the saving aspect without the incentive to go with it.
