NatWest will open branches on Sunday as millions of people are unable to receive money or pay bills because of an ongoing technical fault.
The bank are keeping their branches open until 7pm tonight and until 6pm tomorrow because a huge number of transactions failed to go through properly.
Up to 12 million people have been affected by the major computer error which was triggered when a software upgrade was being installed to the payment system.
They have resolved the 'underlying problem' but it could be early next week before all the problems have been dealt with and everything gets back to normal.
