Just if anyone wondered, this morning between around 10 and 12, the entire LINK UK ATM, and Point Of Sale debit & credit card system went offline, causing ATM withdrawals and point of sale transactions to fail

There are so many systems (Link, Visa, Mastercard, Switch, AMEX), it would be almost impossible for EVERYONE's access to stop working. I certainly managed to use my Visa debit card in several shops yesterday around 10:30am - 11am and even used an ATM.0

hi its true, l managed to do bit of shop on ten pounds, but what if we needed some money urgently.
It maybe l need to put some by in my halifax saving book. I only got a small about of cash, need to keep it in because, of keeping the account open.0
