NatWest Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • MissRavey89 Hannah Ravey (@MissRavey89) reported

    Being 97th in the queue to speak to someone from Natwest is not reassuring me about switching banks! £175 switch isn't worth it for the problems I've had so far

  • MoB86022666 Jake (@MoB86022666) reported

    @bolfem4real @NatWest_Help Same here for me. No help from NatWest at all. How long did it take to get resolved and can you give me any advice please Bolfem?

  • seagull4a LindaD 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@seagull4a) reported

    @NatWest_Help No, I was told I'd need to go to a NatWest branch. Which I will do anyway in future as using the Post Office clearly isn't viable for business banking. But going from Barnes to Richmond and back (3 miles each way in heavy traffic) makes banking a slow job!

  • Dewiwrites Dewi 🏹📜 (@Dewiwrites) reported

    @emilyinkpen I don't think that's necessarily a problem that needs fixing; there are scammers on Twitter, sure, but none of them are acquiring blue ticks and using them to trick people into believing they're speaking to *the* NatWest bank, eg. If you can buy verification, that will get worse.

  • YanaRoberts3 Yana Roberts|Business Advisor| Law|Health&Welfare| (@YanaRoberts3) reported

    @Ocado @NatWest I'll contact customer service tomorrow morning, as bank verifying transaction. Thank you.

  • zz5g72 Steve (@zz5g72) reported

    @MoneySavingExp Natwest site is a mess. Going round in circles due to Joint account. Basically it seems you can't use the switch service for a joint account. Have to first open a sole account and later add another person. Pain in the butt.

  • MrpseanZocial Sean | TikTok Ad Creatives (@MrpseanZocial) reported

    @jenahfir Hack: Open up a business Natwest Account and you get lifetime access to the bookkeeping Software called Freeagent

  • OllyMann Olly Mann (@OllyMann) reported

    Had a cheque for £2k. NatWest closed both branches near me. Their app won't accept large cheques. So I deposited it via Post Office, who lost it. I've gone into my overdraft. NatWest say it's the Post Office's problem, and vice-versa. Branch closures are happening too quickly!

  • ChrisPa64893196 Chris Palmer (@ChrisPa64893196) reported

    @monzo How about increasing your savings account interest rates to 5% like natwest and other banks instead the highest is easy access is less than 2%. Your loan interest rates are over 10%. Not really helping us are you

  • _francek60_61 Asento (@_francek60_61) reported

    NatWest’s Sir Howard Davies: You don’t solve the problems it has a better job to protect themselves from cost of living surge

  • MeMints Egg Man, nationalism not globalism (@MeMints) reported

    Very concerned NatWest premium accounts offers DragonPass (airport lounge access). Initially looks connected with NatWest but it's a Chinese company. There is a serious risk that people might inadvertently use the same login details they use for their bank account...

  • LloydsBank Lloyds Bank (@LloydsBank) reported

    @mynameisben99 Thanks for confirming this. While we're unable to speed up the process with NatWest, it does appear that they're aware of the delay. Do you have any friends/family members who may be able to help out until the money arrives? 1/3

  • JenFutureStars Jennifer Baines (@JenFutureStars) reported

    @NatWest_Help can someone from NatWest fraud help before we go public with what’s happening!!! 4 emails no reply!

  • AliDAVI25887101 Ali234 (@AliDAVI25887101) reported

    @IrvineWelsh @ContraHitch99 I used to work in the Maidenhead branch of Natwest and Coutts were in another league, might be worth a look tbh. I wouldn't recommend TSB bloody awful in Broughty Ferry

  • pbpphotography Paul Beggy (@pbpphotography) reported

    @Peston Just sell the shares in NatWest to help alleviate some of the deficit. Delay HS2 or reconfigure it. Tap up the energy companies for Windfall. Bobs your Uncle *****’s your aunt

  • oechamberlain Oliver Chamberlain (@oechamberlain) reported

    @NatWest_Help You have locked me out from my online banking and now I can't get in because currently I don't have a phone. Natwest is the worst service I have ever used. Advise me.

  • jb889091 Jack (@jb889091) reported

    'To verify this payment, please go to your banking app, click the notification, click approve, return to this site, have it go wrong, do it all again, get a confirmation email, and then worry for three days that you've paid for the thing twice.' (Mentioning no Natwest)

  • Rhyxlitic Jon (@Rhyxlitic) reported

    Finalamissa tickets in the basket then NatWest goes down 🤡

  • freedomeggspoon The Force Mæjor (@freedomeggspoon) reported

    @inv4fee2020 NatWest to Kraken was working, but not done this for a few months.

  • mynameisben99 No name (@mynameisben99) reported

    Still @NatWest_Help continue to ignore me and all customers affected by this. I wonder how NatWest staff would feel having over £1000 taken from there account and no access to it??

  • teefortilly tilly (@teefortilly) reported

    Natwest is such a nightmare if you don’t know your details. Wdym i need to wait 3 days to deceive details by post, I need to access my account TODAY

  • lean_fsl Graham Canning 🇺🇦 (@lean_fsl) reported

    @AskVirginMoney is there a problem with online Business Banking today? I get booted off both the app and Internet sites when trying to make a payment. Switching to Yorks Bank / Virgin from Natwest was the worst business decision I've made, ever. Everything is just SO glitchy. 🙄

  • daniel_rouse_ Daniel Rouse (@daniel_rouse_) reported

    @MoneySavingExp Been waiting 5 weeks to complete a switch to Natwest. Awful service

  • heldinourhearts Held In Our Hearts (@heldinourhearts) reported

    It's #GivingTuesday and we are calling out to any @NatWestGroup employees who would like to support Held In Our Hearts on a regular basis. From the 1st of November to the 31st December 2022 NatWest employees can claim £125 to donate to Held In Our Hearts if they set up Payroll

  • Jia__Li Jia (@Jia__Li) reported

    @NatWest_Help I can’t get access to my online banking and use my card for 4 days now, I tried to speak to your customer service but they refuse to give me a reason and not sure when I can get help !!! Since when you Natwest like to keep people’s money like this ?!!!

  • joeinfife Joe in Fife🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏳️‍🌈🚴🏃‍♂️⛓️ (@joeinfife) reported

    @davidareader @NatWest Can't say I find it disrespectful (can't even think what ethnicity you think it's disrespectful to). It is, however, an absolutely crap name and it smells of a middle aged person trying to be down with the kids.

  • unusual_whales unusual_whales (@unusual_whales) reported

    We suspect Chair Powell will try very hard to avoid saying anything that might be misconstrued as a signal that the inevitable step down in the size of tightening is a pivot toward the end of the tightening cycle," - NatWest Markets.

  • sarahrspencer Sarah Spencer (@sarahrspencer) reported

    @NatWest_Help if considering a switch to NatWest… DONT! Every promise they make, they break. They WONT make sure all your DD’s are paid, they WONT complete in 7 working days, they WONT set up your card in ApplePay when the number’s generated. Lies, all lies. They’re truly awful.

  • SatshopUK SatshopUK (@SatshopUK) reported

    @MKL_Solutions I don't require credit facilities or overdrafts so ditched Natwest as it was too expensive... ANNA is basic but works well... For card payments I also ditched TYL by Natwest and went to Takepayments and also had no problems... :-)

  • Grenoside Bluebell Cottage (@Grenoside) reported

    @NatWestBusiness Well that would be a miracle when in a few clicks a Natwest business customer is unable to open a Business Reserve account (meeting all criteria that is) and after speaking to 7 different advisers at Natwest taking over 1 hour is still unable to open a Business Reserve account.
