Scores of Chase customers have had payments frozen due to a technical glitch - here's what we know

It isn't clear how the issue started but Chase says no direct debits have been affected but that any customers who have faced charges or fees due to the technical error will be reimbursed.

Chase says the issue was resolved on Thursday (9 June) and that all outstanding payments were cleared that evening. However, MoneySavingExpert.com (MSE) has been told by some customers that they're still unable to make payments or are waiting for pending payments to complete. 

The technical error comes after Chase admitted that there are currently delays of up to five weeks for new customers being able to open a current account due to high demand. Chase launched its easy-access savings account - with a then market-leading rate of 1.5% - in March.
