    @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!

    @Shellfromzero That's **** for you babe. A long time since it happened with Natwest (thank god) but I remember it could be stuck a while xx

    @peterjukes This was literally 3 years ago, the article states the short position was held since the spring of 2023 before the announcement that coutts closed his account. If Farage got the letter in June 2023 but they were already shorting NatWest, then this will be a non-issue.

    @KatieW456938 Thanks for raising these points. We’ve checked and the revised FAQs were not shared with the Unite NatWest reps in advance of publication but Unite will raise these issues on Monday. A Unite FAQ set was issued this afternoon.

    @btcjvs Fixed rate ends August 31st this year, NatWest won't let us find and fix in until less than 120 days before rate ends😬

    @NatWest_Help i’ve now made three attempts to make a payment around £300. Each time I’m being asked to approve the transaction and when I go into my account there is nothing waiting to be approved. It really is a rubbish system with NatWest as I have no such issues with oth accts

    It literally felt so ******* good to have a million pounds I checked my notifications and saw the NatWest transfer and it was euphoric. I genuinely thought it was real I’ve never had such a vivid dream. There was no weird **** happening

    @greyfinance How do you explain the sudden message from your customer care that you do not receive funds from NatWest thereby seizing fund's for almost 5 days

    NatWest done bits with this new pots feature in this recent app upgrade 🥲👏🏾. They still have a few tweaks they gotta make (setting up standing orders and renaming pots without having to close them) but they have a customer for life in me I fear 🥲🥲🥲.

    @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. 😡

    @NatWest_Help Hi - been trying to make a payment to HMRC via their app. In app, it directs to NatWest app for payment approval. For last few days, can log in to NatWest app when directed, but page to approve payment is just blank. I've used this way to pay in the past with no 1/2

    @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.

  • TruthSentinel1

    @Bankersbonus1 @ADavies61517 @afneil During the 2008 financial crisis, the UK government stepped in to rescue major banks including Royal Bank of Scotland, Lloyds Banking Group, Northern Rock and Bradford & Bingley. The state directly spent around £137 billion in capital injections and emergency support, while offering over £1 trillion in guarantees to stop the banking system collapsing. Most of the money was eventually recovered, but taxpayers are still estimated to have lost around £30–35 billion overall, with the biggest losses coming from the RBS/NatWest bailout. Worth remembering the next time someone says the banks “were fine”.

    @AaronBastani My Samsung S23 Ultra is insured through NatWest. I had a cracked screen, broken charging port & damaged frame. Paid £50 & got all three problems fixed plus new battery, all data restored. Took a man in a van at my house about an hr. Don't see the need for these EU restrictions.

    Anyone had a problem with opening a NatWest business account? I've been waiting a month!! No one answers the phone, I've been waiting for 40minutes this morning, no one answered. Online you get Bots. Fed up!

  • Kettle_of_Smeg

    @NatWest_Help And what would be the point of that? If you know anything about the web banking interface that NatWest customers have to interact with, you'd be able to very quickly discern that me sending you a load of personal details is a complete & utter waste of time. You'll probably instruct me to visit a help page or ask Cora, or some other inane convolution of pointless steps, or worse, enter the 7th circle of hell that is your automated telephone system. But at no point will I actually be able to speak to anyone who knows the first thing about the tools NatWest inflicts upon its customers, nor who has the slightest hope in hell of actually fixing it. This is most likely the result of the people you (& ultimately we, the customers), pay eye-watering amounts of "Consultancy fees" to, never themselves having had to use the systems they implement & which are likely coded by a team of crack slaves in an Utter Pradesh sweat-shop. So I don't, under any known usense of the terms, expect a satisfactory resolution, but I did get to air my grievance.

    10+ 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.

    @DanNeidle Yeah i set up a stocks and shares isa with natwest in November and my return so far is 9.17% since Nov, Set it up as I'm self employed and didn't have a pension pushing 40 so thought I'd have something just incase i needed to access the cash but also long term invest

    @fiffihunnybunny It’s impossible Fiona. How difficult do they want to make it? I’ve been with them since 14 and never had this difficulty. I’ve noted NatWest. Thanks 🙏

    @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.

    I’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.
