Bank's IT Failure Loses 600,000 Payments 96

An anonymous reader writes: The Royal Bank of Scotland had an IT glitch last night that prevented some 600,000 payments from reaching the accounts of its customers. This included bill payments, wages, tax credits, and benefits payments. RBS apologized for the delay, and claims to have fixed the underlying problem. They hope to have all the missing payments sorted by the weekend. This isn't the first major IT screwup for RBS; in 2012, the company was fined £56 million after a software upgrade prevented about 6.5 million customers from logging into their accounts.

how would you not be able to respond? you would go to the same inbox where your emails,text, and facebook chat conversations are.

the point is that it is ridicuous to have to navigate to an app or have a program loaded and running as an active application on a mobile OS device. it should be integrating itself with the existing messaging controls of the OS, not "here leave this app running while you want to chat with someone" or "here leave this app running all the time oops you closed it now nobody can message you"
