BANK ‘SORRY’ OVER GLITCH

TSB apologised after online customers struggled to access accounts. The bank said problems led to a surge in people trying to log in yesterday.

TSB said: “We are really sorry for the inconvenience and want customers to know we are working as hard and as fast as we can to resolve this problem.”

The spike was, in part, caused by issues with the switch of data to TSB’s computer “platform” over the weekend. At one stage, some people with nominee accounts were able to view the linked person’s other financial information.

The Information Commissioner’s Office said: “We are aware of a potential data breach in relation to the TSB and are making enquiries.” COMPETITION watchdogs have cleared the Co-op’s takeover of convenience store chain Nisa.

The Competition and Markets Authority ruled the deal was unlikely to lead to higher prices and worse service.

Nisa supply more than 4000 groceries stores on a wholesale basis.

Jo Whitfield, boss of Co-op Retail, said: “We’re delighted.” Euro .................................................... 1.114 Australian Dollar ........................... 1.773 Bulgarian Lev ............................... 2.079 Canadian Dollar ............................. 1.732 Croatian Kuna ............................... 7.976 Czech Koruna ................................ 27.161 Egyptian Pound ........................... 21.541 New Zealand Dollar ..................... 1.876 Polish Zloty ................................... 4.424 South African Rand ................... 16.373 Swiss Franc .................................... 1.325 Thai Baht ...................................... 41.546 Turkish Lira ................................... 5.349 UAE Dirham ................................... 4.954 US Dollar ......................................... 1.370
