Twitter a test of character for banks like TSB

People close to the rest of the TSB board - and its new chairman and chief executive - also indicate that Twitter is not a widely cited diagnosis of the root cause of its failures. So TSB now monitors social media to spot technical trouble. TSB admitted to Slaughter and May that its IT meltdown "Might have been mitigated to some extent by . . . a clear and early message to customers that their funds were not at risk", and it would have been sensible to "Engage external social media experts in advance".
