-
Kath (@KathsSpace) reportedGot told off when I got on the 51 bus in Yeovil today. I got on at NatWest and was told the stop is only for dropping off not picking up. Can’t find this info on the Buses Of Somerset website or the bustimes website. But at least now I know I suppose.

DJM Comments (@DjmComments) reported@TheFan886 @leclare_6 It would appear that WRU has drawn down a £30m loan to repay NatWest and Welsh Government. They also have a Rolling Credit Facility £25m plus the option to draw down £5m for future capital projects. The deal is in place for another three and a half years and they'll go to market again for better terms in about two years time.
-
Di Beirne (@ScattyCat) reported@NatWest_Help 2/2 problems. I've contacted HMRC, they said it's not a problem at their end, must be NatWest as I can log in, but then approval screen is blank. Is this a known issue? Please ask your I.T. to fix it. Been waiting for a reply in app customer service for over 10 hrs
-
[mine] Art Gallery (@CarshaltonArt) reported@MLorrM How many TOP BODS illicitly benefitted from engineered customer asset sales when RBS, NatWest, Lloyds, HSBC & Barclays were faced with being exposed for fraudulently selling derivatives, fixed rate loans & invoice financing to U.K. & Irish SMEs with HIDDEN CREDIT FACILITIES?
-
Nick Greenacre (@nicknet100) reported@SayNo2SizewellC What do you believe you know that the planning authorities, Natwest and Bpifrance Assurance Export (the insurers/underwriters) do not? And secondly, do you not see the irony of opposing a clean energy project, the success of which help prevent sea level rise?
-
Mahesh Chauhan (@chauham) reportedWe are stuck in Dubai, and have Natwest Platinum travel insurance through Allianz. Just tried to contact the UAE branch of Allianz and they have said our policy is not valid here, and to call UK support number. What kind of Travel insurance are you offering?
-

Ethan (@ethanms10) reported@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?
-
Diane Berry dynamayphotography (@dbsWebsites) reported@NatWest_Help Somethinhbis going with accessing accounts, i’ve been locked out for no reason, i’ve asked other people with natwest banking and they’re having the same issue. have you been hacked, google said there’s been no confirmation
-
JH (@brightonbelle2) reported@mcdermottkc_ @NatWest_Help I left NatWest and moved to Handelsbanken, fantastic personal service. I just pick up the phone…
-
Richard (@NorfolkCannon) reported@robprogressive The amount never changes. Has he changed bank NatWest let him down last time
-
BruceUnfiltered (@BruceUnfiltered) reportedCash machines and bank branches have been disappearing across Britain, even though many basic card and PIN problems still require an ATM or in-person banking service. UK regulators and LINK data show a sharp reduction in free-to-use ATMs and ongoing branch closures, while millions of people still rely on cash access. The debate over access to cash, digital banking, NatWest, HSBC, Lloyds and bank branch closures raises serious questions about who modern banking is actually designed for.

mind your own business (@Ankit20035) reported@NatWest_Help the service at Natwest is utter garbage and dreadful
-
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
-
brucie 🦇🔊 (@famousbruce) reported@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.
-
jordan♱ (@dmnextdoor) reported@Romeoo412 NatWest pr down
-
Nando Lorris 🏴🏴 (@thalasophileone) reported@areyoflight Pandemic business loans unpaid, reducing corporate tax or zeroing it for Oil and Gas and IT mega companies, Bank bail out in 2008 (Natwest £45bn some of which was written off) They are £billions of £ government taxpayer hand outs. But yeah its disabledpeople that are the problem
-
❤️citizen Macca (@P15pm) reported@thetimepls @deirdrecostigan It’s a shame the conversation turns toward blaming communities, rather than focusing on how service reductions by NatWest impact places like Southall.
-
Robyn Tomos (@TomosRobyn) reportedAny fellow @RestoreBritain supporters out there having issues joining via Natwest, been trying for a couple of days, I can't get past the verification stage to process my payment??? 🤔
-
RingoMAN (@centurysteve) reported@Leighlines @AllegroEddie NatWest tried this **** with me when trying to transferring funds using the app (transfer to another account of mine, not a new one). Log in via website and won’t be needed.
-
Bernard Giltrap (@bjgiltrap) reported@SDPhq We want to hear from you. Which empty unit on Earlsdon Street , Coventry that bothers you most? Is it the old NatWest site or another vacancy nearby? Tell us in the replies. We're listening, and we're fighting to bring life back to our street. Vote Barnie, Vote SDP @sdphq 4/4
-
philip spensley (@33_pr) reported@NatWest_Help So because the NatWest app now effectively doesn’t support paying in cheques I paid in a cheque at the post office. I didn’t realise that all this means in practice is putting it in an envelope and praying. Of course it hasn’t arrived in my account
-
Paul mear (@spottywolf) reported from Ludlow, England@MartinSLewis Mortgage question - my fixed rate is up end of June with NatWest 🥲 Got 7 years left. Fix or tracker ?
-
Phil page (@sixthtimelucky6) reported@GavinBoby @RedbridgeLive despite several complaints about the use of the former NatWest bank as a mosque in Barkingside High St it appears you have decided to not act upon these!! You are truly letting the community down by not taking us seriously !!!
-
Michael Hewson 🇬🇧 (@mhewson_MCH) reportedBit of a strange reaction to NatWest purchase of Evelyn Partners - make it make sense - 10% down?
-
paul6767 (@paultraynor67) reported@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.
-
LDNxGamingxDad (@AdhdDaddyLondon) reported@Matt_VickersMP The issues isn't changing him out. That is done for security reasons. The issue is not picking other amazing Brits to replace him. Shoving a badger on there is like the old NatWest cheques. It's not how our currency should be.
-
Omkar_ (@_balancing_act_) reportedThere should be more of triangular & quadrangular T20 series in the ICC FTP. That will give associates more opportunities against top teams. Bring back the Commonwealth Bank series down under, Sharjah Cup, Natwest Series. Let there be a Euro, Africa, Afro-Asia, Eur-Asia Cup #T20WorldCup2026 #T20WorldCup
-
Sally Bell (@dipsiesmum) reported@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.
-
Raye (@Raye455) reported@GoodwinMJ Matt the closure of bank branches in Denton, Manchester—similar to trends across Tameside and the UK—is primarily driven by a significant, long-term shift toward digital and mobile banking, which has led to a dramatic reduction in branch footfall. Major banks, including NatWest and Lloyds, have closed branches in the area, stating that they must adapt to changing customer habits, as many users now prefer to bank online. It’s down to the public being pushed to use online banking. Not @Keir_Starmer
