Tesco Bank puts the brakes on

Tesco has decided to slow the final stage of the Tesco Bank systems migration.

The retailer is looking to avoid a repeat of when customers were locked out of their online accounts during the recent switch to a new banking platform.

It says that it is aiming to ensure the migration is as smooth as possible for customers and staff as it prepares for growth next year. The next stage, the introduction of mortgages and current accounts to the new platform, has been delayed until early 2012. In a statement, the grocery giant said: "We have taken the decision to slow down the introduction of new products until we have settled in the new bank team, processes and systems, having encountered some technical issues during the summer, which resulted in some customers being unable to access online accounts for a short period.”
