Which banks offer 24 / 7 access to online banking facilities ?



I hate Abbey they shut their web site at around 11pm.



Also Halifax close web banking at 2.a.m.


Cahoot - part of Abbey National!

Nationwide has a good net service but ive never tried in the early hours. Never even knew there were two 2'oclocks in a day! lol

Never had any problems with the Royal Bank of Scotland online 24/7 service.

Just want to point out that, the power of usenet strikes! Checked today and I could login at 3.am.

I know im not crazy as Ive tried for the past 3 months every week and its has always refused to login in and given you a phone number to contact.

Typical. I used to work at a bank and we scheduled regular maintenance for off hours. but we always had a note on the sign-in page.

Could be your bank was processing some stuff on the back end and doing a bit of housekeeping.

Alas, that's the legacy of some older mainframe legacy systems.

Might have more confidence in this site if they spelt Barclays name right - on personal page spelt "Barkley's Bank" - woof woof

But the link isnt, it is still 'Barklays' and many of the links to the barclays site dont work.

The definition of APR is wrong and the words that make up the abbreviation of AER arte also wrong. The example of a Direct Debit is also wrong because mortgages can be paid by DD or SO but DDs are preferred.

Moving to Mortgages, there are a number of misleading items, probably because the writer is talking about US mortgages, hence the concept of 'points' which doesnt exist in UK. In addition it asserts that longer mortgage terms are 'pricier' which is because US offer interest artes on a different basis. The rate of interest is the same but the total interest paid is, of course, more. Also UK lenders do not charge any of the following fees which the site claims may be charged "escrow fees, title fees, processing fees, appraisal fees, document fees, and more. Sometimes lenders may charge an origination ... fee." No mainstream UK mortgage lenders charge fees described as such.

The insurance page is completely wrong because it relates to the US and not UK,

Next......

I'm fed up.

Why dont you just scrap the whole thing? It is completely misleading and useless.
