HSBC customers not paid after IT glitch

HSBC has said that approximately 275,000 payments have been affected by an IT glitch.

It has led to many people not being paid ahead of this weekend's bank holiday.

The bank said it was working with other banks to ensure that customers did not lose out as a result of the problem.

"We are taking immediate steps to ensure the payments reach beneficiaries as quickly as possible," the bank said in a statement.

It said it would post further updates on its Twitter feed at HSBC_Help_UK. https://twitter.com/HSBC_UK_Help" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

The BBC understands the issue concerns the information used by HSBC to process some payments, rather than a problem with the Bacs payments system itself. Bacs is used by all UK financial institutions for funds transfers.
Customers of other banks who were expecting payments such as wages from HSBC accounts have not received them.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Had an account with them in hong kong in the 80s, we knew them as Horribly Slow Banking C**** . Looks like they are still living up to their name.

My Sons employer uses HSBC and he didn't get paid. Those employee's who were at work on the Friday were given a cash in hand advance. My son was off that day.

Guess who was tapped up for a loan? :sad:
