The SMS reads: “We’re doing some updates. You will not be able to send or receive payments by phone, internet, or mobile banking on Sunday, August 1st from 00:05 to 5:00, but you can still use your card in stores, online or at an ATM. “
The renaming of the Clydesdale Bank in Virgin Money has been largely completed, announced the so-called “Challenger” banking group recently.
