Apparently all of HSBCs systems are having issues - card payments are not being accepted, and cashpoints aren't giving out money

That's OK, I have my cheque book and guarantee card ... ah.

Thanks for the post! Was wondering why my card wasn't working!

I thought it was me.

Card payments refused, can't access online banking. What a pain.

Ive been trying to get onto internet banking all afternoon.

Few yrs ago we didnt have stuff like this, yet a few hrs of not being able to access it and im close to losing the plot.

Phone banking also down. Ho-hum.

Have they tried turning it off and then turning it on again? It's what our IT "Help"desk always suggest.

According to the twitterage, cash machines should now be working.

I had this issue a couple of years ago with HSBC, (I am no longer with them) got IIRC about £100 compo.. .would urge anyone affected to push for the same.... make THEM pay for a change!
