NatWest Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • yashthakrar1996 Yash Thakrar (@yashthakrar1996) reported

    The Bank of England risks “unpleasant” results if it tries to bring inflation down to its target of 2% too quickly, NatWest’s chairman warns

  • Ian_Fraser Ian Fraser (@Ian_Fraser) reported

    @jameshurley Ah yes. That was a good piece by you and @harrynwilson. Interesting to note that, despite the evidence, RBS/NatWest “categorically denies” doctoring business customer’s files to skew swaps review outcomes to deny the customers compensation (or to diminish payouts).

  • irene_hulme Irene Hulme (@irene_hulme) reported

    @NatWest_Help Can't believe what's happened to me. £1500 fraudulently removed from my account....by Natwest. all because YOUR deposit machine has apparently broken. All fixed now it seems, but still not got my money back. please ask someone to contact me.

  • AngrySeagull7 Angry_Seagull (@AngrySeagull7) reported

    @chris__medland @AdamJSchwarz @AngelaRayner He was also at Natwest and Deutsche Bank before and during the global financial crisis. So you've been paying for his errors for over a decade. Great to know that he's still sponging off hardworking people.

  • aninalos Aninalos (@aninalos) reported

    Every month I pay 02 £8 for my service. They say I owe £27 because NatWest bank stopped payment. 02 should have stopped payment as someone has plundered my account and caused this 02 should have stopped it. 02 is a disgrace for allowing this. I shall take my business elsewhere.

  • SirBillTaylor Sir Bill Taylor (@SirBillTaylor) reported

    @NatWest_Help So #NatWest, been with them since the 60s, let me down twice in two days. I ring them & they cut me off twice! I ring asking to speak to someone senior. I'm promised that I'll be rung back! Guess what???

  • rimilia_jamiec jamie cunningham (@rimilia_jamiec) reported

    @EE your NatWest 3d secure challenge does not work on the app. When you return after authorising the payment it just goes back to the basket. It works if you use the website instead of the app.

  • MattCross__ Matt (@MattCross__) reported

    @NatWest @NatWest_Help manage my mortgage is down. one of the principles of customer service is set timescales. be good to know when back

  • chenyan35882541 chen (@chenyan35882541) reported

    @NatWest_Help I hope you Natwest Bank will support me a little more, and Royal Bank of Scotland will support me a little more. Now you give me credit card overdraft I am very satisfied, can you give me a little more amount.

  • David_M_Writing David Matthews (@David_M_Writing) reported

    @FelicityHannah How true. Took me 4 hours to get attorney access to my parents’ Halifax accounts. Nearer 3 months for NatWest! Nightmare

  • Chris_English_1 Dr Chris English (@Chris_English_1) reported

    @JustBusyWriting @RoddyJMack @AudreySuffolk Some banks have schemes to bring people back in who left a lot of years ago, often women who decided to bring up children. I know someone who joined Natwest, back into a proper, professional job, after twelve years our. If you were interested in giving it a try their HR can help.

  • Hassetthimself Kevin Hassett (@Hassetthimself) reported

    @jo_bartosch Late one night put me kebab on the keyboard of a NatWest ATM while tied my shoelace. When I stood up shutter had come down trapping my kebab inside. I bank with HSBC.

  • AynurDogruoglu Aynur Doğruoğlu (@AynurDogruoglu) reported

    @santanderukhelp hi, I wanted to move my existing account to natwest. but I couldn't do this because my last name has changed. because my last name is not the same and my address has changed. How can you help with this?

  • MrGouldthorpe Mr Gouldthorpe (@MrGouldthorpe) reported

    @NatWestGroup to login and check my mortgage is awful. You send my an activation code which doesn't work. Why is natwest so complicated compared to everywhere else 🤯 my mortgage started on the 3rd and I still haven't been able to go in and view it!

  • Hazyarc 🐂🐍 (@Hazyarc) reported

    What’s the best crypto-friendly bank in the UK? Haven’t been able to buy crypto in months since NatWest and Starling decided I can’t be trusted to decide what to spend my own money on. Had no issues letting me gamble 80%+ of my earnings for about 10 years though.

  • NatWest_Int NatWest International (@NatWest_Int) reported

    @EE Upgrade - definite problems with your app and 3d secure with NatWest I tried it several times

  • MrMShafiq Shaf -- محمد شفيق (@MrMShafiq) reported

    @NatWest_Help how long is your NatWest mortgage switcher down for maintenance?

  • DxdgeCrypto Dan (@DxdgeCrypto) reported

    @leebeard73 @PennyBritish @WhaleChart It's usually credit cards which are blocked from exchanges such as Binance. Which I agree with, nobody should be buying Crypto on credit... I use NatWest for Coinbase all the time and no problems using a direct bank transfer.

  • RodHardpan Emu Hp (@RodHardpan) reported from Urmston, England

    @SoozUK Bloke works in NatWest January to November then takes 6 weeks off at Christmas time every year to transform into a panto dame despite knowing **** all about performing/theatre/make up This is what they think happens? Morons the lot of them urgh

  • debbiecleg Debbie Cleghorn (@debbiecleg) reported

    @NatWest_Help well Natwest! What a total and utter disappoint you are. After 47 years as what I thought would be a valued customer you decided to block my card without notice and then when I ring up about my card I’m told as I’m secondary you will only speak with my husband! 🤬

  • hinesh_amlani Hinesh Amlani (@hinesh_amlani) reported

    Have you ever tried to access your own money in NatWest? I believed in local banking but I'll be moving out soon

  • elenablore Elle (Mrs B) (@elenablore) reported

    @HalifaxBank I have to say, I’m with NatWest and their customer service phone is better. I’ve had two very odd people on the phone. Getting through to someone is painful. Shouldn’t be that way I’m planning to join you but now I’m not sure. I’ve been hung up on twice

  • JennyClayton716 7265 (@JennyClayton716) reported

    @NatWest_Help how can I speak to someone at NatWest regarding new account set up? Cora couldn’t help me and I’ve been waiting 30 mins for an online agent?

  • TimKearsley Tim Kearsley (@TimKearsley) reported

    @ChrisPage90 It does seem barmy Chris that in 2023 customer service *anywhere* can still be so bad, let alone at a large organisation such as Natwest. I bank with them so I hope I don't have need to get in touch!

  • bruceclements Bruce Clements (@bruceclements) reported

    @DanBarberTF I remember telling my manager at NatWest I was popping to the toilet & ran down the bookies on Pentonville Road to watch this.. Good times! I now escape to the toilet to get away from the racing!

  • Mousketeer Den Murray. (@Mousketeer) reported

    @mikecosgrave 35 yrs ago had the opportunity to buy mint condition 1967 split screen MM, but I needed to borrow £500 from bank, it was 5 days to pay day when I'd be well able to afford it. Bank turned me down as car was 'old'. Lost car, immediately moved my employers £1m a/c. F you NatWest.

  • talktoannabelle Annabelle Williams (@talktoannabelle) reported

    Registered for online banking with Natwest but there's literally nowhere to make credit card payments Downloaded the app but login pages don't accept punctuation in the password so have been locked out of the account @NatWest_Help
