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.

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

Gen Kofi🇬🇧 🇬🇭 (@Ko_fi_Ob) reported@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!

Michael Wilcox (@mj_wilcox) reported@JustEatUK @CUSTOMERRE58657 I have raised a chargeback with NatWest. Awful I’ve had to go to these lengths.
-
Nde Ehugbo (@CaptEnai) reported@Big_Mck I used to once use my NatWest, Lloyds card in Nigeria ATM. No issue. Problem started with Buhari
-
R (@rjb_1998) reported@JoeStephenson96 Tbf bankers and people working at a bank are different, if someone turned up to their customer facing role at NatWest hammered I don't think they'd last very long
-
Craig Duncan (@Fludded) reported@RupertLowe10 @ShapoMelon @Asmongold I gave up on him when he abandoned all those people he promised to help who had been Debanked. He got his NatWest payoff. Shut down the website. And never mentioned it again.
-
Tez Donegan (@wvrlfc_tez) reported@NatWest_Help hello I was wondering if you could help I wanted to cancel a switch into NatWest I’ve had a reply on Cora but the history isn’t loading so I don’t know what was said
-
FCPUI 🇮🇳 (@Rnb129) reportedThe NatWest Final? The next Sunday Reader of The Hindu actually had an article mocking it "while we were sleeping, did India actually win the WC?" And went on to complain that India conceded 325 so they were a **** team anyway! Celebration? What for? That's an Aussie birthright
-
NewbieTrader (@youwhobooxx) reported@reformexposed So in other words the DOGE data harvest has been completed and has been closed down, just like NatWest stuff where he got individuals details

Erin 🍉 (@anon_alice_) reported@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

Ebenezer Don 🐘 (@ebenezerDN) reported@Loopify Natwest has terrible customer service. Closed my account last month
-
VirtualAstro (@VirtualAstro) reportedI used to recommend NatWest but unfortunately, they have provided a really really poor service recently. I used to recommend them a lot, after being a loyal customer. Maybe not so much now. Time to join another bank possibly... @NatWestBusiness @NatWestGroup @NatWest_Help

Paul Lonergan (@miesque1) reported@NatWest_Help Hi. I recently had a change of NatWest credit card but BT are still asking for monthly payment via the old card and this request is getting refused. Can you help, pls. Regards, Paul L.

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.

based.info (@Based_dot_Info) reportedUK Mortgage Rates Surge as Middle East Conflict Sparks Inflation Fears UK mortgage rates have reversed weeks of decline as lenders respond to escalating conflict in the Middle East, with HSBC, Nationwide, Virgin Money, NatWest and Coventry Building Society announcing increases of up to 0.25% across fixed-rate products. The repricing marks an abrupt shift in a market that had been steadily improving since late 2025. According to Mortgage Solutions, the average two-year fixed rate residential mortgage has climbed from 4.32% to 4.82% as of 4 March, while the five-year fix rose from 4.94% to 4.96%. The catalyst: soaring oil and gas prices following US and Israeli strikes on Iran that sent energy markets into turmoil. The two-year swap rate rose from 3.33% on 27 February to 3.65% by 6 March, while the five-year swap rate climbed from 3.5% to 3.8%, according to Moneyfacts. Swap rates — the benchmarks lenders use to price fixed mortgages — move in tandem with market expectations for Bank of England policy. In late February, traders had fully priced in two Bank of England rate cuts by the end of 2026, but by 3 March, the chance of two rate cuts had been completely wiped out, according to the HomeOwners Alliance. The shift reflects a brutal recalculation of inflation risk. Since the first US strikes on Iran on Saturday, energy prices have soared, with the oil price increasing to 84$/barrel (Brent Crude) and UK gas prices to 139p/therm (up 15% and 78% respectively since the weekend), NIESR reported. Iran has disrupted shipping through the Strait of Hormuz — a narrow waterway through which a fifth of all global oil flows, according to Al Jazeera. The UK remains heavily dependent on gas for heating and electricity generation. For UK households, wholesale gas prices matter because they are a key driver of domestic energy bills, meaning a prolonged spike could push up costs in the months ahead. UK inflation stood at 3.4% in December 2025, already above the Bank of England's 2% target.

elanor 🍃💚🍃 (@elly189245978) reportedCannot believe my local NatWest is closing - that was the only one I have access to - so many elderly people use too ! Honestly it’s scary what is happening
-
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 !!!
-
Surinder (@SurinderRehal) reported@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
-
Jijingi u Ter (@jijingiUter) reported@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.

Express (@ExpressBSV) reported@doompost NatWest & Uphold, never had a problem.
-
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.
-
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?

❤️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.
