BBC News - Lloyds customers hit by card problems

Lloyds Banking Group says some Halifax, Lloyds, Bank of Scotland and TSB customers are having problems using ATMs and debit cards.

A spokesperson for the bank group said it was aware of the problem and hoped to have the issue resolved shortly.

Not everyone who has tried to use their cards has had problems, and online customers have been unaffected.

Paul Pester, chief executive of TSB - which is being split off from Lloyds - tweeted an apology.

He said "My apologies to TSB customers having problems with their cards. I'm working hard with my team now to try to fix the problems."

Lloyds Banking Group is the largest retail UK bank.

UK banks have suffered a series of IT problems over the past few years. In December, an estimated 750,000 customers at the Royal Bank of Scotland group were unable to use their credit and debit cards for several hours following an IT glitch.

Tip of the iceberg!!

some of the tulip code I witnessed offshoting putting thorough and testing signoff protocols were laughable.

I'd be worried more about stuff like this -

"When we presented them with the withdrawal slip, they declined to give us the money because we could not provide them with a satisfactory explanation for what the money was for. They wanted a letter from the person involved."

Thats crazy. I should be able to walk into HSBC to withdraw whatever is in my account, and if asked why say I'm going to put the money in a suitcase and hide it under my bed. They shouldn't refuse to pay out 'my' own bloody money because I dont have good enough reason.

Looks like they've now lifted this because of the backlash from customers:
