@Aidanmc & @SJMALBA, Gatehouse use Barclays for payments and Barclays has been down since around 10am and still not back working 😤

Thanks - I noticed that it is showing in Gatehouse online as completed, so the hold up being with Barclays makes sense

Barclays Service Status.

Also, on Gatehouse's website:

*** Payment Services - Technical Issues*** We are currently experiencing intermittent technical issues with our payment services systems and as a result any payments being made or received today, may be delayed. We are working hard to rectify this and hope to resolve the issue shortly. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Yes I did a test on Tuesday to make sure withdrawals from GH went through same day. Reassured by that I did a transfer out early this morning to cover all my RS standing orders on Monday, No idea what happens if it isn't sorted.

Tesco
I have their EA account. Made a withdrawal on the app at 01.10 this morning (31/1). It came with the speed of light, very impressive. But what is very odd is that the deduction from my Tesco account balance is showing as reduced yesterday (30/1). How can that be?

Yep, I'm unable to get into online banking on the website - the option to use Mobile PINsentry isn't showing as normal and other methods of ID confirmation also fail. I can get into the app, but at least one payment I made earlier isn't showing as being taken from the account.

It's the deadline for self-assessment payments today - coincidence, I wonder ? Not being able to make a self-assessment payment from a Barclays account (or another bank who use them) could cause problems for some people.

Thank you for that. Explains why my withdrawal from Vanquis hasn't come through yet either, as they use Barclays for clearing. Was expecting at close of business today.

I tried to deposit funds into Gatehouse today and received a message telling me that the receiving bank couldn't accept payments at this time. I thought it was strange, more from the point that my bank knew. Normally I'd just expect them to be sent and hang around in limbo until sorted.

Whats the chances the gatehouse payments will be in before the morning?

All depends on when Barclays sorts out their IT issues, which hasn’t happened yet.

Re: Gatehouse, I will have about £7k of S/O's to reg savers on Monday, for which I had done a w/d from GH. What happens if the GH transfer doesn't get to my current account by then (Santander)- Do they fail? Pay it anyway and send you o/d? Retry the next day? Never been in this situation before!
