Nationwide suffers payments error AGAIN as customers complain they haven’t received their salaries on New Year’s Eve – days after building society’s last outage
- Nationwide customers left furious by issues with delayed incoming payments
- Problem is affecting people waiting for wages to be paid in this morning
- Same issue also affected Nationwide customers last week on December 21
Britons with Nationwide bank accounts were left furious today by problems with delayed incoming payments – with some saying their wages had not yet been paid.
One of the building society’s customers affected by the issue which started in the early hours of today fumed that they have ‘bills to pay and a child that needs food’.
Another added: ‘Currently waiting on wages. Have zero food in the house to feed my two-year-old and husband can’t even get to work as need money for petrol.’
The problem will also affect people across the country waiting for their wages to be paid in this morning so they can go out for a New Year’s Eve party tonight.
Nationwide tweeted: ‘Sorry, there’s currently a delay affecting some incoming payments. Your payment will be processed and you don’t need to do anything.’
Today marked the second time Nationwide customers have been affected by the same issue in less than a fortnight, following a similar delay on December 21.

Another tweeted: ‘Nationwide, where are my wages? Why I have to stress myself over delay of the money I’ve been working hard for?’
And a third posted: ‘Thank you for causing even more stress. No wages and other payments due into my account today #nationwide #needtochangebanks #useless.’
