However, in a statement on Twitter, the bank said that the issue *should* be resolved by now and has apologised to its customers for the inconvenience caused. It said: "We’re confirming all of our Visa debit cards are now working normally for all point of sale chip & pin transactions and for withdrawals at all ATMs.
