Pizza factory (@Pizzafacto90385) reported@NatWest_Help Hi Louise, thank you for your response. The card is not a NatWest card—it's an Ebix Cash Forex Card issued in India. I have already contacted the card provider, and they advised me to speak with the ATM owner/bank to see if the card can be retrieved. All of my money for my stay in the UK is on that card, so I'm finding it very difficult to manage without access to my funds. I would really appreciate any help or guidance you can provide regarding whether the card can be recovered from the ATM at Tesco, 825 High Road, Leyton, E10 7AA. Thank you for your time and assistance. 🙏🏻

So he can't receive a code to log on. He's asked them several times to change it. They say they'll change it. They haven't mayo do that very hard task 😡😡😡😡

Di Beirne (@ScattyCat) reported@NatWest_Help Hi Mikyla - thanks, I'm still having the same problem I'm afraid. I've just tried again now to make a payment to HMRC through their app but unfortunately, after their app transfers me to the NatWest app to approve the payment, I log in, then just get a blank screen.

Tommy P (@TomPowell6742) reported@stephenpollard Tesco/NatWest comparison assumes all businesses are the same. But Rail is a natural monopoly and already depends heavily on the state. It's a question of public service versus commercial service. Rails different as passengers can't switch provider in any meaningful sense.

paul6767 (@paultraynor67) reported@exRAF_Al @miriam_cates @WilliamClouston finalizing the NatWest/RBS sale at such a significant loss, Labour government isn't just balancing books; they are erasing the evidence. Once the shares are gone, the "investment" is over, and the loss becomes a legacy issue.

David (@David7964noBS) reported@the_k_bizzle @NatWest_Help NatWest disappointing service not on the side of the customer. Its a real shameful service. Flight cancelled check-in 9/2/26 Evidence from airline confirmed the refund and from agent but still chasing Natwest for a full refund this should have been so easy ? Going to Ombudsman !

Ali@Makely (@MakelyStudio) reported10 years. 50M+ users. £11M+ revenue impact. Citibank. Mercedes. Sky. Virgin Media. NatWest. I spent a decade fixing conversion problems at companies most startups would kill to work with. what I learned: the same broken patterns show up everywhere - onboarding that loses people in the first 60 seconds, pricing pages that confuse instead of convert, signup flows with friction nobody ever fixed. now I build the same systems for funded startups.

Rob W R 🇪🇺 🏴 (@Woollygar) reported@give_me_caffine Worked with a guy in NatWest 1980's who was asked if he was a Welsh speaker by a well healed female customer said 'no, I've forgotten it all' She shunned him. Told me after that use was beaten out of him in school so his parents stopped using it at home & he just stopped using it

Funmi (@Funminz) reportedJoint borrowers earning £150,000+ can now borrow up to 6.5× their income. NatWest will lend at 6.5× for higher earners, but only if they’re borrowing 75% LTV or less. Pros Higher borrowing power — High income earners can access larger mortgages, which helps in expensive markets like London where property prices are high. More competitive offering — NatWest becomes more attractive to wealthy buyers who might otherwise go to specialist lenders. Useful for joint high earners — Couples earning £150k+ combined can stretch further to buy homes in premium areas. Potentially better rates — The article notes NatWest often has best buy rates, so borrowers may get both a high LTI and a good interest rate. Cons Higher financial risk — Borrowing 6.5x income is a big commitment. If interest rates rise or income drops, repayments can become stressful. Lower LTV allowed — To borrow at 6.5x, you must have at least a 25% deposit. That’s a huge barrier for many people. Only for high earners — This doesn’t help average income buyers struggling with affordability. It widens the gap between who can and can’t buy. Could push prices up — Allowing people to borrow more can fuel higher property prices, especially in already expensive areas. This move is good for wealthy buyers who want bigger loans, but it does nothing for regular earners and may even increase market pressure. It’s a strategic play by NatWest to attract high income clients, not a broad affordability solution.

P Crizzle (@p_crizzle) reported@NatWest_Help I wish to make a complaint about the service I’m receiving from NatWest in respect of a Business Bank Account application. We’ve already received compensation for one complaint but the bank are being obstructionist, awkward and frustrating.

Götz von Berlichingen #FBPE (@georgebernhard) reported@MartinRemains @Steven_Swinford Yeah, but if the self-proclaimed media elite stopped ****-stirring they might have to go and do some journalism.

ParteekNotPrateek (@randomcricfacts) reported@Weirdgripping84 159 gave him a good run but Natwest **** show should have been the end of him. The fact that Laxman also kept failing in 2002 is what helped pip it in Mongia’s favor coz he bowled.

cj (@cjhmode) reported@AlvinMutyaba @augusteprompt Every bank lets you on and off ramp but for on ramp it’s limited as I say above. Some banks may be friendlier than others and allow slightly higher limits or open a discussion with you based on your personal circumstances (for example, Barclays will, NatWest won’t). I was able to off ramp with no limits and use the proceeds to buy my house, after strict due diligence around source of funds of course. Hence I no longer own or trade any crypto in this difficult market and with this unfriendly regime personally. Regarding leverage trading, I’m not sure. I imagine you could use Hyperliquid with a VPN, not sure if that will become impossible when the new restrictions land. Personally I’ve never traded leverage, that’s too much of a casino for me. I only ever traded spot. And obviously there’s lots of avenues for that. Hence I think it’s an exaggeration to say it’s dead here, but it will certainly become hard to justify once CGT is upped (circling back to my original point).

Le Ref (@LeRef5) reported@Feargal_Sharkey @NatWestGroup It was the public authorities that delayed it that long you halfwit. The plans were formed in 1940s (public control) The land was bought in 1975 (public control) Plans were dropped in 1976 after a Public Inquiry on the back of NIMBYism (public ownership) Plans were revised in the mid 90s and not pursued as there was not sufficient identified demand. Mid West water only merged with SE water in 2007 so the history has nothing to do with them. Nat West's Pension Fund owns a 25% stake, not NatWest. Plans were revised in 2013 and hit the usual barrier - locals, NIMBYs and organised groups have been campaigning against it for decades. So sure, it's all down to the evil privatised companies
