frankblack Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 I was thinking about going out for my week's shopping where I normally pay with my Visa debit card. I assume that would be affected. I don't like paying for food items with the credit card, but sounds like I will have to. The clowns that operate their website have a temporary message up giving no indication of what is going on and when service will be resumed.

Victorian Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 the sooner the FSA rubber stamp a proper bank like Ukio Bankas to operate in the UK the better IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corstojohn Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Just phoned their telephone banking service and the girl I spoke to was very apologetic and hoped it wasn't causing me to many problems but was unable to tell me when everything would be back to normal. She said no other ATMs would be able to process my cards and I possibly couldn't use them in shops or stores either. Looks like I am cutting back on the drink this weekend.

You'll just need to withdraw money from either your Cayman Islands account or your numbered Swiss account, until such time as it's all sorted. If it looks like dragging on, you may even be reduced to selling a few ounces of your personal Bullion reserves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david mcgee Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Cant even transfer any money into my betfair account, which means no punting for me. Spent about four hours last night studying form for today, only to have to watch and grimace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tazio Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 It was just on the news. The system is getting back on track now and should be 100% soon. Power issues at their server in Yorkshire apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
