Just had our card rejected for payment for petrol as 'Not Valid' Fortunately, there was a queue of people with the same problem, all signing IOUs. All the HSBC autobanks seem to be refusing all cards anyway - certainly in this area.

Just for info.

Probably the link to the verification system is down, you can be sure they'll fix that in a hurry. HSBC ATMs run on OS2 (bet ya didn't know that!) which is pretty stable so when there's a problem it's nearly always mechanical or somewhere else.

I wonder of the problem was more widespread, while out shopping this afternoon I noticed that lots of ATM's were off line! and those that were on had major ques.

Ouch. I remember VISA going 'down' about 5-6 weeks ago, which caused alot of problems everywhere.

I used my credit card on Sunday, no problems. But then again I dont back with HSBC :D

Cheers for the headsup though CT.
