    I was in a union at NatWest and honestly they seemed more interested in protecting the company relationship than representing ordinary staff. So spare me the lecture that unions automatically speak for all working people.

    @sabaone @NatWest The current account on the online bank goes back 7 years, but the credit card goes back only six months. The customer service bods say they can only access back a year. Sounds like a fob off to me.

    @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 😡😡😡😡

    @HSBC_UK Hello. I’m sending some money from my NatWest account to someone’s HSBC account. Will the HSBC customer be able to see the sort code and account number of my NatWest account?

    @NatWest_Help NatWest couldn’t help their customers if they tried !! I left NatWest 19 years ago, seen an offer to bring my business back last month, reopened 3 accounts and guess what, same **** service I left with. Well unlucky… that’s a guaranteed half million you won’t get on your books!

    @BasilTheGreat I’ll say this again: if you want to peacefully bring down the institutions profiting from the migrant crisis, hit them where it hurts, organise withdrawals from the banks. Natwest, Barclays, HSBC, Lloys, Santander to name a few Ask supporters to withdraw their money (even small amounts) from the big banks tied to government policy. The system is fragile, they don’t hold enough cash for everyone to withdraw at once. This is show hurt more than violent riots, it's how you apply real pressure wthout people getting jailed. National strike next, road blocks bring the country to its knees Fill the streets up and down the country demanding a GE and secure borders. Our ancestors didn’t fight for this. Enough.

    @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.

    @hullkrofficial Awful ticketing system just continuously redirects back to the initial basket page after approving in the NatWest app. Improve it.

    My 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.

    Smiley 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?

    @AskNationwide This is exactly why I’ve now taken my 3 accounts to NatWest. Nationwide are so behind with the times with their procedures & systems. NatWest can usually fix everything online without having to call them. People don’t have time to call companies & wait on hold for ages anymore!

    @Blokeonabike2 @RupertLowe10 I quit Natwest years ago for their atrocious service. Took me years to close an empty ISA despite contacting them several time. I opened a personal account with Starling so I could have a business account with them. Comes with free, simple invoicing/bookkeeping system too.

    @0ldEnglishman @iforgotthefall Literally nowhere does that say anything about student loans. No matter how much you wanna grok something, you can’t access a student loan unless you’re British or settled. If NatWest wanna loan a Bulgarian £10k than that’s on them. Not the tax payer.

    @PaulReadGB @LifeThruSpecs Credit cards carry insurance by law. They don't like it, and might even claim it's not true. But squirrelled away in a dark corner of their website is a crappy little form to fill in so they can begrudgingly comply with their legal obligations (been there, done it with NatWest).

    @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.

    Been out to buy a phone packet to allow me to ring NatWest and ask why no transactions are showing on my account today. The guy effectively said 'it's a general problem'. No apology, no suggestion of when it might be resolved, no reassurance that money was safe. British tax-
