Denmark's Second-Largest Bank Finds Y2K Problem In Payment System

[Article has been removed] (Bloomberg)

The story here:

Unidanmark A/S, Denmark's second-largest bank, said it identified a glitch in its Unitel payment and information system for corporate clients that probably relates to the millennium changeover.

An unidentified client today saw the information on his customers erased when he tried to remove some data on payments -- something the client does from time to time without problem. The information is now being updated manually. Unidanmark said all its 8,000 Unitel customers have been informed of the fault, which doesn't prevent the daily use of the system.

``The fault is with the system deliverer although the responsibility is ours,'' said Torben Laustsen, head of corporate communications at Unidanmark, declining to name the supplier.

``The problem relates to a module in the program'' and should be rectified ``within a few days.''
