Judith Cossins (@CossinsJudith) reported@NatWest_Help And now, 1.5 months later, he STILL can't access her bank account!!! NatWest staff entered his phone number incorrectly. 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 😡😡😡😡

Pulp Librarian (@PulpLibrarian) reportedSmiley Culture: NatWest On Line (1986). This is one of two adverts reggae star Smiley Culture did for the bank, promoting their On Line bank accounts aimed at teenagers. UK banks leaned heavily into the teenage market in the 1980s, on the assumption that customers rarely changed bank accounts. If you got the customer young they would stay with you for life, so why not give them a cash card and a free sports bag when they were 14?

VirtualAstro (@VirtualAstro) reportedI used to recommend NatWest but unfortunately, they have provided a really really poor service recently I used to recommend them a lot, after beying a loyal customer. Maybe not so much now. Time to join another bank possibly... @NatWestBusiness @NatWestGroup @NatWest_Help

Annurag P Rekhi (@Dravidict) reported@UnscriptedViews Yehi Ashwathama hai. Bro was there when Yuvi played the Natwest finals. Bro was there when 2 of Yuvi's students chased down DC's target without breaking a sweat

Chaipeelo (@YFSat7pm) reported@ChineseEmbinUK British students get special treatment in China, but once Chinese students leave the UK, they can’t get their own money back from @NatWestGroup, NatWest is basically an international banking scammer. Shouldn’t the Chinese Embassy in UK help Chinese students? #scammer #bank

Apurv Nagpal (@apurvnagpal) reported@NatWest_Help Hello NatWest For the Nth time - If you see what you think are fraudulent transactions on a customer's credit card - at best put a temp block, which the customer can solve via the app or via SMS / Whatsapp This is crucial, esp when the customer is abroad or busy with their life and doesn't want to spend 20 minutes on a call with customer service Why do you insist on this outdated 'call us' philosophy - without care to what your consumer is doing or wants ? How can you even just block, based on an algorithm, without providing a digital confirmation option (Email / phone / app) ? This is literally the tenth or fifteenth time this has happened in the last few years. Please can you fix this ?

Charlotte Coombs (@CharCoombs1) reported@bmob719 @BristolCity If you’re paying using NatWest or TSB card you will have issues - been trying to renew our seats since Friday! There is a known issue but they don’t appear to communicating this!!

Sam Hosier (@AutoInfatuation) reportedAs of 1st June I am going back to being solely self employed and will need a new business account as a Sole Trader. Given up with having a physical branch to go to as we literally only have a HSBC and a NatWest left in my town now 🙃 Have had both a Monzo and Lloyds LTD Company Business accounts before and have a Monzo personal account I quite like. I keep being told Revolut Business is really good now they have their banking license? Most of my payments will be made via BACs either way, only need access for myself and also needs to be able to link up to Xero. What Bank does everyone suggest to go with or even avoid?
-
jess (@Jessicakillilea) reportedI’ve contacted via email, dm and many phone calls. Each member of staff passes you onto another and lies. It’s clear why NatWest branches are closing down.

🌓caleb🐁🧛🧛 MERCH STORE OPEN🧛🧛 (@m0mento_) reported@satsumchi the banking hub in town has a natwest rep in on tuesdays that might be able to help figure out what the problem is if u cant get it sorted online xx

Mancunian 🇬🇧🏴 (@Mancunian63) reported@NatWest_Help customer service at natwest is dead. Got a platinum account that's useless. The insurance it comes with is worthless. Rang to complain, and they transferred me to the insurer I was complaining about. They tried to fob me off by transferring me to someone else. Joke.

Deborah 🇺🇦 (@deborah_hilliam) reported@MartinSLewis The BBC had a piece on their website yesterday about cheques from HMRC not scanning on the app and she had to go miles to pay it in. My elderly housebound mum had the same problem this year. My sister tried to scan and pay it but it wouldn’t work on the NatWest app.

DJ-🏴 (@DJUK61212471) reportedAnyone on here using the natwest bank app , is it down for you too ? Not the normal 15 min maintenance break just unresponsive!

Tania Falk (@FalkTania) reported@support_desk79 @NatWest_Help is this an official NatWest support account?

Aparajithan N (@aparajithan) reported@kartik_kannan Impossible, not even news… but thats also the reason I sat through the entire Natwest final in 02 because I was leaving for the US right after that & was afraid that i may not get to see another game for a few years… though that didn’t happen… but glad i sat through that game.

Ali@Makely (@MakelyStudio) reported10+ years. 50M+ users. £11M+ revenue impact. Mercedes. Citibank. Sky. Virgin Media. NatWest. Here's what I learned: Bad product flows can cost thousands, or even millions, in lost revenue. Regardless of company size. What kills conversions in big-name products does the same for startups: - Onboarding that loses people in the first 60 secs - Pricing pages that confuse instead of convert - Sign-up flows that cause decision fatigue I’ve seen that when you fix these - you get more from the traffic you already have. Now I build those same systems for funded startups - so they keep the users they've already paid to get.

Sumanyu Sharma 🍫 (@sumanyu) reported@ElevenLabs @LDNTechWeek @CosineAI launches Lumen Sovereign, Britain's first sovereign frontier model. Co-designed with BT, Lloyds, NatWest, LSEG, PwC, BAE Systems, Leonardo UK, Babcock, Thales UK, and Telefónica Tech UK&I. Runs entirely inside customer infrastructure with no external data transfer.

Express (@ExpressBSV) reported@doompost NatWest & Uphold, never had a problem.
-
WGCitizens (@WGCitizens) reportedMy reward for years of customer loyalty to NatWest bank? Their pockets stuffed with profit and the high street branches closed, including WGC. Customer service? Nah, just shareholder fixation…and a failure to support those who’ve supported their company.
-
Judith Cossins (@CossinsJudith) reported@NatWest_Help NatWest is awful. My partner applied online 6 weeks ago for control over his mum's account (she has dementia). He has power of attorney. He waited a month. No joy. He phoned 3 times. No joy. He went to the branch. No joy. You WILL NOT help him. Utter rubbish. 😡
-
Bjorn Again (@NewBjornTab) reportedNatWest - your support for elderly people is so bad! You have very little empathy for relatives & you just don’t listen to those trying to help & resolve a problem. Call after call is the same! It’s like talking to a brick wall!
-
100 (@GhostNoFace0101) reportedNatWest Bank absolute scumbags the customer service are full of **** all they do is lie and tell you we can’t help you bunch of ***** ******* rats
-
C B Campbel (@Tw0pAcPr0) reported@NatWest_Help dear natwest bot, your phone app has an issue. Unfortunately it doesn't know how many hours in a daily reset. Ive want to move funds but it keeps telling ive reached my daily amount. I moved money Sunday its now Tuesday.
-
Gen Kofi🇬🇧 🇬🇭 (@Ko_fi_Ob) reported@Lifeofdavie_ Most banks are shutting down due to 90% automation of processes. I have an account with NatWest, the branch in my town has only 2 staff: One teller/customer advisor and Branch Manager/Lead. Machine to deposit coins, cash in, pin resets, cheques scanners, digitised processes!
-
Helen Macdonald 🇺🇦🖤💜🖤 (@alpacapower) reported@MartinSLewis @DrFionaCares I am leaving NatWest after 40 yrs because my nearest branch is now over 7 miles away, there are no cash points & they can’t explain why my second set of 2 debit cards refuse to work in card machines. And don’t get me started on bloody Cora… Customer service is dead.

King Oseary (@LACitiz4n) reported£200 Billion GBP just left my account to pay for everyone university debt from 1999 up until 2026 in both the UK and America. It’s fine, I’ve been making some wise investments lately and NatWest are paying me well, and I earnt quite a bit by selling Barclays back to the Baron’s. So I’m good for it, plus on top of the tour and then the vegas shows, I’ll be able to support both Elle, I and our daughter from my income. So, I’m good for it. Lot’s of changes, as this earth spins, everyday, and let’s just make the spins count. - King Oseary - @AP

Jijingi u Ter (@jijingiUter) reported@iSlimfit God bless them indeed Deloitte leads with 26 weeks full pay from day one (flexible too can spread it out), same for NatWest, Aviva, and BT. Proper family support like this is a game-changer. Makes you wonder when more sectors (and countries) will catch up.
