Ross KellyGUEST
So Revolut, so Neobank in the UK, that was among the companies that went down, so to speak, due to the outage.
Ross KellyGUEST
Likewise with Bank Scotland, HSBC, Royal Mail, and some retailers were also hit by this.
Ross KellyGUEST
Some Revolut customers weren't able to withdraw cash.
Ross KellyGUEST
They weren't able to access basic banking services, likewise with HSBC and Bank of Scotland.
Ali MurphyGUEST
So I had to pay the bills and then see where that takes me.
Ali MurphyGUEST
And so at the time, Bank of Scotland were recruiting.
Ali MurphyGUEST
And so I thought, excellent, I'll go there.
Ali MurphyGUEST
That would be interesting.

Sue SaundersHOST
Are there any standout people along the way that helped you in your career?
Ali MurphyGUEST
Yes.
Ali MurphyGUEST
So when I was at TSB, well actually Bank of Scotland, roll back because this manager that I'm talking about was one of my risk managers back in Bank of Scotland.
Ali MurphyGUEST
I still keep in touch with them now.
HHOST
When it comes to paying for any of this, the financial infrastructure on the ground is far thinner than you would ever anticipate.
HHOST
The Bank of Scotland's own branch finder lists exactly one branch in the entirety of Orkney.
PhilHOST
One branch for the whole island.
HHOST
Yes.
Ben MakowieckiGUEST
Thank you.
Ben MakowieckiGUEST
Well, you've already mentioned the fact that we have over 46,000 farming customers across our three brands of Lloyds, Bank of Scotland and AMC.
Ben MakowieckiGUEST
So because of that, farm resilience is a long term commercial issue for us.
Ben MakowieckiGUEST
It's not just about sustainability and isolation.
Valerie FlynnGUEST
But in the UK market, some of the mainstream banks like Lloyds Bank, which is a big bank, I have a Lloyds Bank account from when I lived in the UK previously.
Valerie FlynnGUEST
HSBC being another big UK bank, Bank Scotland, they were all affected as well.
Valerie FlynnGUEST
So, you know, it was a Google Cloud issue, but it affected banks, you know, including Revolut.
Valerie FlynnGUEST
And Revolut is a bank.
Terry SmithSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
It could invest it in the business.
Terry SmithSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
The late Sir Peter Burke from Bank of Scotland, I once said, look, I think we'll put it in a room and look at it.
Terry SmithSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
LAUGHTER Or they could buy their own shares back, couldn't they? They could buy their own shares back.
Terry SmithSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
So it belongs to the shareholders and the company can dispose of it in any or any combination of those ways that they want.
Matthew MarrHOST
This eventually led to the establishment of Celts for Change, a much more high-profile organisation.
Matthew MarrHOST
One of their campaign events involved the Bank of Scotland on George Square, which is now the Counting House pub.
Matthew MarrHOST
A protest rally was held at the venue, with the Celtic group asking to speak to the manager.
Matthew MarrHOST
At first, this request was denied.
Richie AllenHOST
Why so many important services using Google's cloud infrastructure? Why? Why not use their own systems? Or why not be independent of these tech giants? Anyway...
Richie AllenHOST
So among the institutions or among the businesses affected today were banks like Revolut, Lloyds, Halifax, HSBC, Bank of Scotland.
Richie AllenHOST
Customers were reporting difficulties accessing their accounts.
Richie AllenHOST
Ding, ding, ding, ding.
Rick MollandGUEST
Right.
Rick MollandGUEST
And so I just, so I went, fell into a job for the Bank of Scotland and just ended up being good at sales kind of thing.
Rick MollandGUEST
I hated it.
Ignacio LopezHOST
Yeah.
Rick MollandGUEST
But it's a phone job and I would just go off for the weekends.
Rick MollandGUEST
And then, and then we broke up and I was like, what am I, like, We'd been together for like six years and I was like, what am I going to do with my life? And I was just about to quit and go travelling when a bonus came through and then Bank of Scotland said, do you want to go to Edinburgh for six months on a secondment? And I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah, that sounds all right.
Rick MollandGUEST
So I...
Rick MollandGUEST
I headed to, I came up here and I was here for two days and I just went, the city's incredible.
