LONDON â TSB is investigating problems with standing orders and
bank-to-bank transfers, leaving some customers without their
salary on payday.
The bank is experiencing issues with payments on Thursday and a customer service assistant confirmed to BI that the bank has been aware of problems since around 7 a.m. (Disclosure: the author is a TSB customer affected by the issue.)
The assistant said it is unclear whether the issue is specific to TSB or affecting other banks too.
Some TSB customers took to Twitter to complain of issues:
@TSB Hi - my salary has not gone in to my account and I believe this is the case for several other people. Is there a problem?
@TSB wages havenât gone into my a/c today  is there probs your side?
@TSB are you experiencing problems with pending transactions. My pending transactions disappeared of my account but not showing on my statement either
@AskHalifaxBank @TSB morning. Are there any known problems on either of your systems? Our monthly standing order from Halifax to TSB hasnât gone through and slightly worried. Thanks
@AskHalifaxBank I have a standing order set up so every week £100 goes in to my TSB to save but today itâs showing as going out my Halifax but not going in to my TSB. What can i do?
A spokesperson for TSB confirmed the bank was aware of problems and investigating.
The spokesperson said: "Weâd like to apologise to our customers who might be experiencing some disruption when making or receiving payments to TSB. Weâre working as hard and as fast as we can to resolve any issues and will update our customers as soon as we possibly can."
