    I am having the same issue, as are no doubt many others as there's obviously something wrong with the website.

    I have tried three different browsers (the phone app won't let you do this operation) and tried all three browsers in safe-mode with no addons or ad-blockers working just to make sure those were not causing problems. All the browsers do the same thing - go absolutely nowhere.

    In Avast browser I do get a similar image as above and a message that the request cannot be handled, but the rest just have a ton of address string and just sit there doing nothing.

    I'd rather not have the rigmarole of going through what I anticipate will be waits and hoops on the phone to sort this out, but I suppose I am not left with much choice other than sending the funds to a different linked account, waiting for all that to clear, then sending it from there to my new account.

    Hey @nrandall73 and @epic

    I've just tried this on my own Savings account and I'm getting the same error, let me take this away to our Savings team to investigate and I'll come back with an update as soon as I can.

    In the meantime, if you do need to change your linked account, please don't hesitate to call us on the number that Kelly has posted above.

    The same issue has been happening to me for approx 1 week now. Tried again today and error page still appearing after hitting confirm details:

    Note, security of page changes from green to red when this appears.

    Telephoning is not ideal for me, so I had really hoped the issue would have been resolved by now. Can you please update here when resolved @RobbieT, as would like to complete transaction I started last week.

    I'm pleased that it is being looked into and potentially sorted out, but in the end I chose to do it the hard way, by sending what I needed to an existing other linked account, in pieces, then moving it out of there in pieces to where I needed it to be. Good luck to everybody else.
