    @ZackPolanski Never mind me just down voting the community notes that are willfully ignoring the very valid point. It you got arrested for running into NatWest and smashing up their display, charged for it, then got done for robbing the bank later with no jury or due process you'd kick off.

    @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.

    @NatWest_Help I wish to make a complaint about the service I’m receiving from NatWest in respect of a Business Bank Account application. We’ve already received compensation for one complaint but the bank are being obstructionist, awkward and frustrating.

    @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. 😡

    10 years. 50M+ users. £11M+ revenue impact. Citibank. Mercedes. Sky. Virgin Media. NatWest. I spent a decade fixing conversion problems at companies most startups would kill to work with. what I learned: the same broken patterns show up everywhere - onboarding that loses people in the first 60 seconds, pricing pages that confuse instead of convert, signup flows with friction nobody ever fixed. now I build the same systems for funded startups.

    Why is #NatWest down 4% today on a £2bn profit beat? When markets ditch a beat, they're pricing what the headline missed. Here's what you need to know.

    @NatWest_Help Head Office need to investigate this flawed Access Issue and fire the lunatic who was responsible for it . Other banks don’t have this issue. This time wasting by NW is the worst call experience I have ever had. 0/10 NatWest- DO BETTER, RESPECT YOUR CUSTOMERS

    @ikeijeh @MetroUK Until quite recently the City had done a good job of resisting ugly modern towers (with the exception of Natwest Tower). And then suddenly in the early 00s the gloves were off and it became a free for all. Was this down to any one individual?

    My NatWest account wanted me to enter a 6-digit code just now. It would help if they sent me the code to enter. I had to ask for a resend.

    When I pushed for answers your team implied I was part of a fraud pattern — despite your own agent’s written warehouse confirmation. PayPal and NatWest can’t help due to direct debit rules. Now pursuing Small Claims Court. All evidence documented.

    @0ldEnglishman @iforgotthefall Literally nowhere does that say anything about student loans. No matter how much you wanna grok something, you can’t access a student loan unless you’re British or settled. If NatWest wanna loan a Bulgarian £10k than that’s on them. Not the tax payer.

    @sabaone @NatWest The current account on the online bank goes back 7 years, but the credit card goes back only six months. The customer service bods say they can only access back a year. Sounds like a fob off to me.

    @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

    @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.

    Joint borrowers earning £150,000+ can now borrow up to 6.5× their income. NatWest will lend at 6.5× for higher earners, but only if they’re borrowing 75% LTV or less. Pros Higher borrowing power — High income earners can access larger mortgages, which helps in expensive markets like London where property prices are high. More competitive offering — NatWest becomes more attractive to wealthy buyers who might otherwise go to specialist lenders. Useful for joint high earners — Couples earning £150k+ combined can stretch further to buy homes in premium areas. Potentially better rates — The article notes NatWest often has best buy rates, so borrowers may get both a high LTI and a good interest rate. Cons Higher financial risk — Borrowing 6.5x income is a big commitment. If interest rates rise or income drops, repayments can become stressful. Lower LTV allowed — To borrow at 6.5x, you must have at least a 25% deposit. That’s a huge barrier for many people. Only for high earners — This doesn’t help average income buyers struggling with affordability. It widens the gap between who can and can’t buy. Could push prices up — Allowing people to borrow more can fuel higher property prices, especially in already expensive areas. This move is good for wealthy buyers who want bigger loans, but it does nothing for regular earners and may even increase market pressure. It’s a strategic play by NatWest to attract high income clients, not a broad affordability solution.

    @SpensGraem11427 Okay Graeme - if you're not a customer with NatWest, I'm afraid we'd have to direct you back to Northern Assist for further support with this! Please try getting in touch with them via phone and they'll hopefully be able to help. - Rachel

    @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.

    @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.

    @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 🙏
