UK - Are Your Online Banking Services Shutting Down Tonight or Tomorrow For Apparent Maintenance? Halifax Are...
Due to recent banking events, I was wondering If any other banks besides Halifax are having planned shutdowns due to apparent maintenance??

Basically, I want to know if it's just Halifax or not...For the last week, I have had pop ups stating that they were planning on doing maintenance. I deleted the messages and they still popped up every time I logged on...

The strange thing is, in the past with planned maintenance, they have always stated how long there system would be down, they haven't on this occasion, they just said a short period...Should I be worried??




Here is the message:


Important update - our service availability (19 Mar 13)

We'll be carrying out some planned system work from 12.30am tonight.

This means that Online Banking won't be available for a short period.

We're letting you know so that you can make alternative arrangements around when the planned system work takes place.

We're sorry for any inconvenience and thank you for your patience.

Yeah I know...Was just a lil worried due to all the talk about banks in Cyprus being closed till Thursday etc...

It's funny you know, I read somewhere that banks in the UK were going to charge people so much per month for having an account with them...I wish I could remember where I saw it, does anybody remember seeing the story somewhere??

Thanks for checking....

Makes you think though, would all banks warn you of a shutdown of there services if something bigger was afoot?? Guess we'll see what happens in the coming days...

I have asked my neighbor to check Natwest but she busy atm..She did state that the other day, she was having problems accessing her account at various cash machines, but it seems to be ok now...Hopefully she will check later and let me know....

Just been checking Halifax Twitter account.....

There is a tweet from the 16th March that stated the site would be down for maintenance between 12-4.30am that night...This is what I mean, they usually let you know the exact downtime for there site...Tonight's downtime seems different due to them not mentioning how long the site would be down....

There is NOTHING about this so called planned maintenance tonight whatsoever on twitter...With receiving these messages on my Online service all week, it makes you wonder why they haven't tweeted it....
