Just days before Christmas, thousands of customers have been left without cash.
Nationwide account holders are currently unable to receive payments into their accounts.
The building society shared, “We are working hard to resolve the issue and apologise for any inconvenience caused.”
The payment failure has been going since 7am this morning – December 21.
Customers have began panicking on Twitter with worries they’ll be unable to receive their wages and buy last–minute gifts.
One furious user shared, “How can you possibly excuse no payments going in or out 4 days before Xmas! Inexcusable! You’ll be losing me as a customer once Xmas is out of the way!! Nationwide are a joke!”

Another person asked, “I am awaiting a payment. It has been sent. How long is this expected to last? Today is my only day to do my final shop before Christmas. Terrible timing no?”
The Nationwide account has been advising customers to await an update and to get in touch if they receive any charges.
Why is Nationwide down?
A Nationwide spokesperson said: “Unfortunately, there is currently a delay on outbound payments reaching people’s accounts as well as inbound payments reaching Nationwide current accounts.
Other services that are still working will allow customers to:
- move money between Nationwide accounts
- send money from your account(s), but this won’t go through straight away
- use your cards online and in shops
- log-in to our Internet Bank and Banking app
- withdraw money at cash machines.
When can I make Nationwide payments again?
The Nationwide Twitter page has responded to customers saying they are aware of the issue.
However they have not yet provided an estimate time frame on when payments can be made again.
More than 600 reports have been made on Downdetector so far, with problems occurring since 7am today.
When will I receive my payments through Nationwide?
Nationwide’s website has shared the bank can not accept payments into accounts from outside of Nationwide at the moment.
The person sending you money will be told if they need to try again later.
The Nationwide Twitter page has been responding to customers advising them to look out for an update on their page.
