Yes. I think this was a key test for NR. If I was in charge of this I would have done absolutely everything to ensure the interest was visible on people's accounts as early as possible - it would have silenced all the doubters and might even have encouraged some of those who left to return. If the problem was sorted this morning, I think it would pass off as an insignificant issue. But to let it run like this when there has been so much uncertainty surrounding the bank is quite extraordinary. As someone who has remained loyal to the bank and defended them here I feel quite let down by this.
Like I said, I do believe this is just a technical problem and there is no cause for concern. A delay in displaying interest is not a huge issue so long as the interest is paid and accessible but you really have to wonder who is responsible for letting this happen. NR simply couldn't afford these kind of slip ups after the troubled few months it's had. This was a chance for a positive start to the new year and it's just been squandered.
