Do these banks not have any back up systems?

I find this hard to believe.

I have about £200k cash with NatWest... :(

Still ongoing. My friend has no access to his money.

The Natwest statement includes: "This problem is strictly of a technical nature". Hmmm...ok.

This will become the norm as British banks all think it's a good idea to sack all of their top home grown computer engineers and replace with eastern European and Asian workers.

The most precious thing a bank has is trust. If people lose trust in RBS and Natwest these banks will be in trouble.

Wonder if this is linked with the Egyptian military not giving the results of the election till Sunday?
Maybe the Nat West blockage was just a test for whats coming on Sunday/Monday....maybe the militaries around the world are going to move against the 'Elite' then?

you ALWAYS diversify. 50k in 4 unrelated banks minimum, not 2 branches of same bank, banks unrelated to each other.

monday should be interesting.

i for one plan to stock up on rice and beans.

hope for the best, prepare for the worst...

but perhaps the worst is the best case scenario. people are so afraid of losing their material shit, maybe they need the reality of it to realise the true frailty of what they have been taught to value.

Once you are able to come to the realisation that we don't actually need money to survive, and that it is one of the many tools they are using to control and manipulate humanity, some of what is unfolding will become clearer to you.

I have come to realise that there are no coincidences with world events and events such as this. Since I realised that we are all being held spell bound, living in an illusion of a world painted by our masters, I don't leave anything to chance anymore.

To someone still asleep, they take the news as they are being fed that this is an actual computer glitch and that the government is doing everything to fix the problem as they love them. Perhaps these groups of people don't know about 9/11 and the eery silence of these same protectors. Humanity is like cattle being bred for slaughter with some of us that are awake shouting that farmer is only breeding us for the kill while other keep on eating grass and telling us to shut up. No matter howmuch grass the farmer feeds you, he still ends up killing you.

I see this event in these ways....

1. Another dry run for what they are about to unleash on the planet or the real thing has started already and this will only grow bigger as the days go by spreading to other banks and with people not being able to access their accounts. Don't forget we had a dry run of this glitch last year.

2. There is an actually bank run taking place and the excuse of a computer glitch to cushion the effects of what is unfolding as they are not about to create all the havoc yet.

Bottom line, it is time to switch off from the system. They will come up with any excuse....all excuses to play the game to their own advantage. They will twist and bend people's thoughts and reactions until they find themselves cornered, as long as these people think they are acting in their interests. They are not your friends, the system is not there to protect you...It never has done this. When will people realise that they are slaves and expendable to this system and that they, like past generations have always been slaves and this planet is under lockdown mode.

I hope people wake up soon.

This is ongoing. I was able to pay bills and get cash yesterday, but any income is still stuck in the pipe.

I'm fortunate to have built up a sufficient buffer and to have small pockets of cash with other banks; the majority of my fellow customers live paycheck to paycheck and they are hurting. There are people with zero left in their accounts and unable to feed their families because of this problem.

Not sure if this incident is a game-changer, but I know for a fact that nobody wants to go through this again and they will be looking at avoidance strategies.

tell me honestly... if you had a lot of money in one of the other banks, what would you do, or what have you done?

i grabbed my cash, its in the safe now not the bank.

but i figured.. if theres there a problem with any of the banks soon it wont matter.

I'm not going down the route of "cash under the mattress", that's for sure. For now, the diversity of my current banking is sufficient.
