Grief, Nationwide Bank. It's now taken 45 mins to fail to pay the people who have done the trenching work for the electricity installation. They regard a payment for a system issued via an accounting system, by someone we know locally, for work already done, as "high risk" and won't put the payment through. In a phone call to them, they told us we have to "verify the account by contacting the contractor." What does that achieve?
There is a scam here, and it's the UK banking system.
