Default OT Who is "SID" and why has my bank card stopped working

om...

I tried to withdraw some money from a cash point on Saturday and again on
Sunday. I assumed that the cash machine was empty when I failed to get any
money. I tried again today and *"Unauthorised access" was displayed on the
screen. I then phoned the bank and just before my mobile phone battery died
I was told that "SID" was in place.


Any ideas on what a "SID" is? The bank is now shut and I cannot call them
back until the morning.


TIA

Sounds like the card has been stopped due to suspicious activity.

I'd put considerably more effort into phoning them:
they will have a 24-hour card centre number for such things.


Why? The card's been blocked, it can wait.
