Nationwide customers have been hit with payment delays once again as the bank experiences technical issues.
People are reporting that they’ve been left with ‘zero funds again’ waiting for their wages to arrive into their accounts.
Nationwide has apologised for the delays with incoming and outgoing payments and said that ‘it’s in a queue and will arrive ASAP’.
Other banking services are working as normal, but it’s left hundreds of people anxiously waiting for their pay cheques.
Some say it’s around the fifth time they’ve experienced a similar problem.

Someone else has got stuck in the middle of quite a major exchange, writing: “Hi Nationwide. We are waiting to complete on our house purchase and solicitor says it is fund transfer issue. We sold our old property a couple of hours ago. Any idea of timescales please as sitting outside house with delivery guys.”
One heart-broken mum posted: “Money was transferred into my account at 6am this morning. Still no sign of it at 9.49am. I’m begging you please @AskNationwide sort the delay out so I can get food in for my children.”
Someone simply Tweeted: “Why are nationwide so sh*t at being a bank.”

Rising Manchester DJ issues heartfelt statement after Parklife set is cancelled over safety concerns
Daisy Jackson
Manchester DJ Josh Baker has issued a statement after his Parklife set was unexpectedly cancelled.
The rising star techno and house DJ was supposed to be playing on the brand-new Matinee stage on Sunday evening.
But his set attracted some huge crowds, not helped by the sudden downpour as his set was due to begin.
The area around Matinee became increasingly busy and Parklife announced that the Josh Baker performance would be paused on ‘the advice of safety team’.
Josh Baker has now issued a statement on social media to his followers as his Parklife set was due to end, signed off with a row of crying emojis.
He wrote: “Unfortunately I will not be performing at Parklife due to reason outside of my control.

“I deeply apologise. I can’t really put into words what today was going to mean to me.”
Next on the Matinee stage should have been Chris Stussy, another name that was predicted to pull in a big crowd.
At the time of writing, The Matinee Stage remains closed but there are again large queues of fans waiting to re-enter the space.
Parklife pauses major DJ set on ‘advice of safety team’ as huge crowds swarm

Parklife has announced it has paused one of the most hotly-tipped sets of the weekend ‘upon advice of the safety team’.
Josh Baker’s set on the brand-new Matinee stage has been attracting huge crowds from the late afternoon.
The Manchester-born DJ is a rising star in the tech and house scene and was always going to be a highlight of the festival’s line-up this year.
But his pull has maybe been a bit greater than expected, with massive crowds swarming around the Matinee stage on Sunday afternoon.
It’s been so busy that Parklife has made the decision to pause his show altogether while crowds disperse.

Security have been managing the crowds at the stage with a queue system, but when the heavens opened (and it REALLY rained at about 7pm) the area surrounding the Matinee stage became even busier.
Parklife has issued a statement on its app that reads: “Upon advice of the PL safety team, the show on the Matinee stage has been paused. We will update ASAP.”
Parklife has described Josh Baker as ‘a versatile DJ and producer, embodying the creative essence of the new wave of electronic artists’.
