Warning all RBS, Natwest punters. Withdraw cash now

This weekend Royal Bank of Scotland and Natwest integrate their computer systems. It goes live Monday.

Staff are on stand-by to open branches on Sunday in case the ATM hole-in-the-wall machines fail during the exercise, an unwitting bank employee told a Register colleague going about his daily business (although since the system goes live Monday, maybe this infor is incorrect)

We think you should withdraw your money this evening - no, we're not encouraging a run on the bank, just trying to ensure that you have enough cash for the weekend. And Monday of course. ®
