cash machines
19 Answers
I tried to use my nat west card at the Halifax today, the machine said " unable to process transaction at present time" I went home and checked my balance on line, money in there. went back to the halifax ( only because you can park outside) and tried again, same answer. so had to pay to park in a car park, then walk for 5 minutes to the nat west, ready to have a few words about why I can
not get any money out, saw a queue, so tried the till outside, it gave me the money. Now, I have google as my home page, and tonight the news comes up. one of the items is: "RBS resticts cash till card use" it appears that as they make no money by letting other bank users with "basic bank accounts"
( thats usually the people on benefits and basic wage, or those who do not want to pay any excessive bank charges etc) get money from their machines. I expect Dave cammeron will say its our fault, we should all get a high paid job where we can afford the £12 a month bank charges.
Tell that to the nursing staff. So, now, if I need money, I have to go to the natwest itself or change the type of account and pay the banks a monthly fee.
Are we being taken for idiots here???? just how much money do they think they can wring out of us. I now will have to pay parking charges and more fuel costs. another nail in the coffin of the working classes.

Whilst RBS/Nat West will get the flak for this isn't the underlying cause that banks charge each other for the use of their cash machines so in this case it is the Halifax who charge Nat West- so maybe Annie should ask Halifax why they charge RBS.
It seems to me banks get criticised when they make a loss, criticised when they take steps to reduce losses and get even bigger criticism when they make profits.

Hi,
Am I the only one who has had this problem? I tried two different cash machines, one owned by the co-op ( don't know who the provider is) and the halifax. neither would give money, they both made a pleasent excuse. on the strength of these replies, I am going back to both of those machines tomorrow, and try again. if the halifax says NO, then I will go inside and ask why. I will report back. In case anyone thinks there were insufficient funds, I can inform you that there was £84 in that account, and no direct debits or standing orders, charges etc. exist on that account, so there was nothing due out for anything. There is still £64 in the account, so will be interesting to see what happens.
Thanks,
Annie.
