Hey @UlsterBank_Help are there more problems with your systems? We are receiving reports that #childbenefit isn’t in people’s accounts this morning. This is causing huge stress for our members. Many members desperately relying on this payment today after #Back2school costs. pic.twitter.com/V8QQOhnhRx

AIB is in. Pstb and Ulster payments not in. Real panic today for people depending on it to top up electricity meters, but lunches etc. Hope you get sorted soon.

It’s happening too often. We are being pushed into a cashless society yet systems are failing too often and leaving people high and dry. Less than 2 weeks ago @UlsterBank_Help were called before finance committee for same issues

I’m with @permanenttsb and didn’t receive child benefit either. I’m thinking it’s a @welfare_ie issue

Anyone?
UPDATE:
The Department is aware that a widespread bank payments issue is affecting some social welfare payments due into customer accounts today. The Banks are working to resolve the issue and we will continue to monitor the situation & provide updates throughout the day. #paymentupdate
