Nationwide Building Society website goes on the blink

Customers suffering intermittent access

Steps to Take Before Choosing a Business Continuity Partner

Customers of the UK's Nationwide Building Society have suffered intermittent service to the bank's website since this morning, and the access problems are ongoing.

But though access to the website continues to be patchy, a Nationwide spokeswoman was adamant that service on the internet bank had not been disrupted:

"Customers have always had access to the internet bank but not the website," she said.

The spokeswoman added that the problems had started this morning and engineers are currently working to resolve them. Nationwide haven't posted any official statements on the blinky access but they have been fielding customer enquiries on Twitter.

Nationwide was unable to tell El Reg what the cause of the problem was. ®

Re: Seriously?

Completely agree, I tend to open another tab and start browsing a different website while waiting for it to load. Especially around payday/end of month.

The Nationwide website is on the blink every day. The hilarious thing is that that they seem incapable of grasping the fact. Maybe the servers are fine and is just the network bridge to the internet outside of swindon towers which is foobarred.
