    @NatWest_Help NatWest, your customer service is terrible. 40mins on the phone line then got cut off. Don’t you think if your customer will need to card reader to do bank transfer, you should just automatically send them one, not having to climb a ducking mountain just to get one?

    @Dodlink @sewateruk @ThreshedThought They promised to deliver water to those on the priority list last weekend but didn’t. Promised again today, but …. My neighbours are elderly & suffering from various cancers but still no help from SEW. Still as long as the NatWest, the FCDQ & UoA are getting their money….

    @InterGo10 “We had a very large customer that we announced Barclays. They did 20,000 Ultimate seats and 20,000 Duo seats. We also announced a number of other customers such as Anthropic, CACI, NatWest and Amazon.”

    @NatWestBusiness How is anyone supposed to sell a business when the new owner has been “denied” access to the business accounts due to NatWest’s inability to sort out a bank mandate. Access was requested a fortnight ago.

    @NatWest_Help hey folks! My sister banks with you still - she’s just found a car that my dad will buy for her. She needs to transfer £7k from her account to him also a NatWest customer. How can she temporarily up her limits?

    @Loopify NatWest stopped me from buying crypto since about 3 years ago. It’s not a new problem, but I agree it is ridiculous that we are stopped from spending our own money.

    @NatWest_Help hi folks. I’ve got a NatWest credit card. Interested in rooster for my kid. Do I qualify for the free rooster subscription as a NatWest customer even though it’s just credit card and not current account?

    @LairdSummerisle God knows there was some **** allowed in the City from the 70s on (eg Natwest Tower) but Canary wharf was developed from 1988 and we mostly contained the office development out there - what happened in the 00s to allow this plethora of ugly monstrosities to overwhelm the City?

  • ACFER01
    ACF Equity Research (@ACFER01) reported

    RBS - the bad news never stops for this entity. Whilst an old story coming to a conclusion it is reminds us for just what an awful business RBS became, surely it is time for NatWest to vaporise this brand and its culture (for the benefit of shareholders as well as just because)? See more below @stockmark_it

    Service from Natwest has gone downhill. Several banks in Cardiff have closed. Cannot get statement online with an address and the chat doesn't understand simple questions. You need to improve your service. @NatWest_Help @NatWestGroup

    @NatWest_Help Head Office need to investigate this flawed Access Issue and fire the lunatic who was responsible for it . Other banks don’t have this issue. This time wasting by NW is the worst call experience I have ever had. 0/10 NatWest- DO BETTER, RESPECT YOUR CUSTOMERS

    @thejamieseymour @CallumLyon They will. This is the problem. At any point in life you can just say ‘it’s all ****’ Yes ‘a lot of mortgage lenders won’t consider overtime’ but you only need ONE mortgage company to accept your application. NatWest accept overtime as income

    @Simsie1488960 1/ 2 Hey Alicia We can re-instate a direct debit if it: Was cancelled in error by the bank, or Is payable to a NatWest product e.g. a mortgage The direct debit also must have been cancelled in the last 60 days. If the above applies to you, please visit us in branch or get in

    @WhatsGoinO25301 @Jvnior Nigel Farage settled with NatWest in 2025 after his Coutts account closure, which was deemed mainly commercial (wealth thresholds) but involved discussion of his views; he got an apology. Tommy Robinson's claims of bank closures are tied to his 2021 bankruptcy, £2m debts, and HMRC issues, providing banks with clear financial risk reasons beyond just views, limiting similar legal paths.

    @StephenMulhern You could come and see the duck outside the job centre in Heanor, or I could take you down the road to Ilkeston where the top rated thing on Trip Advisor is a hole in the wall next to NatWest

    @Loopify @trader1sz I’ve had NatWest since I was 16 years old never had a problem. Linked to my Coinbase transferred probably £30mil through since 2016. However when they did flag one of my txs I upgraded account to black account which is like Amex black card. Have to retain a £100,000 balance at all times etc etc this allowed me to buy £250k of XRP, twice in 2019. So yeah upgrade your account.

    @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.

    @NormanBrennan @dshensmith @robprogressive But that’s not true Norman. I’ve just been scammed on my credit card with Natwest, they’re refusing to help! Told me to take it up with trading standards!!! You know that bank, the people’s bank…..
