NatWest Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • MattAgileCoach Matt Hosking (@MattAgileCoach) reported

    @TheEdenSessions @LionelRichie So the problem is that with higher value tickets (and multiples of them), you are not passing the payment authorisation requirement back from Natwest bank, and are just failing the payment. It worked with Barclays in the end.

  • CapoVenum Ftp177 (@CapoVenum) reported

    @HukAleksandra You can allways deposit to your crypto account lol. Natwest blocked me, this is the only they can't block me.

  • aquaticsmum64 AJKearney (@aquaticsmum64) reported from Aldridge, England

    Really disappointing that @NatWest_Help use a web chat service for nok to report a bereavement. Totally impersonal at such a difficult time. So glad I don’t actually bank with you 🥲 #NatWest #Bereavement

  • steven_gude_199 Steven gude (@steven_gude_199) reported

    @NatWest_Help hi I've made a withdrawal from a betting site onto my old natwest card. I've switcher my natwest account to another bank. Will you forward the money to my new bank?

  • RichardN7 Richard (@RichardN7) reported

    @lucymoosh Most corporate sites like that these days. I found a bug in Natwest online banking a while ago, and trying to report it was nigh on impossible.

  • alexgibson3d Alex Gibson (@alexgibson3d) reported

    @DanJPerry It's a lost opportunity to improve too. Both cases have customer submitting detailed real world feedback. Panasonic: more to lose admitting fault (class action lawsuits etc), obsolescence. Now: happy to remain incompatible with Natwest Mastercard, with no exception handling even.

  • abhishk07 Abhishek Shetty (@abhishk07) reported

    @MohammadKaif’s knock from 2002 Natwest finals would have broken the internet if it existed that time. On par with Virat’s knock against Pakistan in 2022 T20 WC.

  • ginger_nick Ginger (@ginger_nick) reported

    Hey @NatWest_Help please help me make sense of this. You say you charge 2.75% when using your CC abroad... Unless you use one of your special travel cards... Called... NatWest credit Card or Reward black Credit Card... AI have a NatWest credit Card!

  • simonr555 Simon Richardson (@simonr555) reported

    @AbbieBebe Card got declined. Been doing this the past few weeks and Natwest are adamant there’s no issue with the card or their security checks. They’re *************** out of me.

  • CanaryYellow15 Canary Yellow (@CanaryYellow15) reported

    @NatWest_Help Natwest scum, my son was defrauded out of a lot of money, we call Natwest and ask for help, that phone call cost £45 in call charges. Utter scum. DONT EVER USE NATWEST, they are crooks!!!

  • Goldzone3 Goldzone (@Goldzone3) reported

    @LayahHeilpern Can't transfer money out of #Natwest at the moment. I think they are in trouble, no customer service, no answer from Fraud team and blocking transactions, time to find a new bank

  • simonr555 Simon Richardson (@simonr555) reported

    @sarahduke97 @glastonbury Same. Declined it (whole separate issue with Natwest at the moment) and when I clicked retry it just booted me off despite having 5 mins left of the tickets supposedly being held

  • MarcBeddy Marc (@MarcBeddy) reported

    @SP_EnergyPeople Hello. Called to pay my bill today and on the first transaction the operator said it hasn’t gone through and to try again. Did it again and it went through. Just checked my bank and it’s taken it twice. It’s pending so NatWest can’t help. Will it go back in acc?

  • goggieplays GoggiePlays (@goggieplays) reported

    @Jinenken @HSBC_UK Natwest is garbage don't go there!

  • bluesatsuma77 Bluesatsuma…👀 (@bluesatsuma77) reported

    @_JTrades_ I use Swissborg for fast on/off ramp fiat and Natwest have never flagged any issues making transfers to them..

  • Wiangmar Ad Taylor (@Wiangmar) reported

    One of the most irritating things about NatWest (aside from the terrible interest rates) is that, if I want to pay into another account, I need a ruddy piece of hardware to stick my card into to get a code LIKE IT'S 2005 STOP IT Just text me a code or in-app it @NatWest_Help

  • BrendosJohn Brendos John (@BrendosJohn) reported

    @MartinSLewis @OfflineAnnie My mortgage fix rate end April and we where invited by NatWest that we can switch now to a tracker mortgage 2years @ 3% . Unsure what to do

  • datadili volume ticker (@datadili) reported

    NatWest Group plc traded 43% above average volume, $NWG down -3.25%

  • EmotionaIEz ez - pain in the *** era (@EmotionaIEz) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    The £50 are nowhere to be found and if they are not back in a week ima chase up. Also hate how slow they are bc i just transferred some € over and wise is like yeah they are there! While natwest is like nothing here… My spanish bank n monzo are pretty instant… why arent u?

  • r24rwc Rob Clarke (@r24rwc) reported

    @NatWest_Help I'm done with this archaic, not fit for purpose account.... Please get a manager to contact me to transfer my money away from NatWest. So poor... **** app... **** customer service 😔

  • hapsci Heather Doran, PhD (@hapsci) reported

    A story that might help others. We were due to be able to see new rates for our mortgage the weekend of the interest rate rise / Liz truss fiasco in Oct. We were unable to log in / get in to accounts with Natwest over a 4 day period. I complained & yesterday was offered

  • admglrh Gavin Hollis (@admglrh) reported

    @NatWest_Help says Google Wallet is the problem. @GoogleWallet says it's NatWest. Would someone please make the new debit card I don't want and didn't ask for work?

  • LABGInfo Langport Area Biz Gp (@LABGInfo) reported

    Our business group currently banks with @NatWest_Help, & has unsuccessfully been trying to open a new account. It has not happened for whatever reason, and we have been trying since last year. We need an online account. Should we look elsewhere? Help is required, please #natwest

  • Hatten4Hatten Tracey Hatten (@Hatten4Hatten) reported

    @UtilitaEnergy If this was about the app not accepting my NatWest card for payment then I have already tried this and it didn’t work the problem is between you and NatWest and nothing to do with the app or me.

  • 1stxpert katie thomas (@1stxpert) reported

    @itvMLshow #MartinLewis What can be done now to get the Bounce Back loan opportunity for those that missed it because Natwest business account applications were closed inhouse yet their portal stated it was in progress. So it was impossible to have it. they agreed and offered £500.

  • V_2the_P Vanessa (@V_2the_P) reported

    @NatWest_Help Hi, I tired to pay for something with my credit card, hit pay button and the site stopped working and went back to the payment option. NatWest says payment pending. Is there a way to check it's been taken or not? I need this paid ASAP 😩

  • SamPrentice The Real Sam Prentice (@SamPrentice) reported

    Anyone else using the @NatWest_Help #natwest App mines been crashing for over a week now when you log in, little to no help.. do I really need to change banks to get this resolved? #natwestapp @firstdirect you in ?

  • peterclaridge1 peter claridge (@peterclaridge1) reported

    @YardleyShooting @LloydsBank Terrible that one has to fight like hell to speak with a manager. In my view most people don't ask for a manager unless they are getting nowhere with the customer assistant. Disgraceful service and it's not just Loyd's Bank either. Natwest are the same.
