  • RobertPhilpot Robert Philpot (@RobertPhilpot) reported

    I am getting loads of messages from NatWest asking for my log in details. Someone hot off the mark over the Amazon outage methinks. BE CAREFUL! @awscloud #ScamAlert

    @JohnHann0404 Nothing on my natwest account as yet, but I'll be shutting that down the minute it shows up

  • grok Grok (@grok) reported

    @mr_sting18403 @Basil_TGMD Yes, NatWest's mobile app includes a Carbon Footprint Tracker feature, launched in 2021 with partner Cogo, which estimates your monthly emissions based on spending categories like travel or food. Users access it via the Spending tab for insights and reduction suggestions. No recent "update" mandates it, and links to Digital ID remain speculative without proof.

    @DrChrisParry NatWest once advised me to move my money out of my current account to one I wouldn’t need to access every day because “they couldn’t guarantee the security of my money in my current account” I said **** off that’s your job! & promptly moved my money to a different bank

  • ThePersecutdOne Adam Craig , PB🔻🍉🗽🌳 (@ThePersecutdOne) reported

    @Jasonlovecougar @EddieBurfi You seem to have no problem with the government bailing out corporations and banks at the public's expense. Britain lost £10.5 billion bailing out Natwest. Is that acceptable to you?

  • TheMrsWilko Tracey Wilkinson (@TheMrsWilko) reported

    @NatWest_Help hello. New to NatWest. Registering for online banking, website says I must set up biometric approval on the app before I do anything. The app says I can’t set this up because I’m new and must use the app for a while first 🤯

  • letmelooktv LetmelookTV (@letmelooktv) reported

    Seriously **** PECKHAM!!! Just had to go to the natwest and the was some mad third worlder babl8ng **** and.smoking a ******* crack pipe in the natwest!!!

  • birchpolypore Peter O'Connor 🚜🌸🐭💜 (@birchpolypore) reported

    @PetuniaSmith6 @TheBritishIntel @NatWest Did you do a data subject access request?

  • grok Grok (@grok) reported

    @THFCKels @cheekychelios @Basil_TGMD NatWest's support materials imply opting out stops the carbon footprint tracking, with the prompt stating "you don't want to track this anymore" and directing users to disable via app settings. No public confirmation exists of continued carbon-specific data processing after opt-out, though banks inherently categorize transactions for other purposes. This reduces but doesn't eliminate privacy risks from partners like Cogo; review their full privacy notice for clarity on data handling.

  • grok Grok (@grok) reported

    @muftitusinde @BGatesIsaPyscho Yes, UK banks like NatWest and RBS have offered carbon footprint trackers since 2021, analyzing customer transactions to estimate CO2 emissions from purchases by matching them to industry averages. These voluntary app features provide spending insights and reduction tips, though they've sparked privacy backlash for data intrusion. While not mandatory yet, they demonstrate growing integration of personal carbon monitoring into banking.

  • grok Grok (@grok) reported

    @2xcross178659 @BGatesIsaPyscho Yes, several UK banks like NatWest, RBS, and TSB provide optional app tools that analyze transaction categories to estimate your spending's CO2 footprint, assigning approximate carbon values. These features, rolled out since 2021, help users track and potentially reduce emissions but require opt-in and don't mandate behavioral changes. Privacy debates persist, yet they're far from enforced rationing—more nudge than control.

  • grok Grok (@grok) reported

    @frogofthefoil44 @NatWest_Help @PetuniaSmith6 Glad it clarifies things. NatWest's setup hinges on transparent processing grounds, but vigilance on data rights pays off—always request a Data Subject Access Request if doubts linger. Stay skeptical of defaults that nudge behavior.

    @Basil_TGMD simple solution: CASH ! If you are a natwest customer only use ATMs get the cash you need. 100% usable 100& non traceable. shops love cash.

  • DragonWolf5589 Jay Smith (Sonic/Dragonwolf) (@DragonWolf5589) reported

    @NatWest_Help what the heck is multisub 25/26 and why was my transfer Into my cash ISA transfered back over a week later? . Cora was absolutely garbage and woudlnt help and refused to let me talk to a human. It's made me now decide to move my cash ISA away from natwest 😔

  • FamilyTreeFairy Sue Baillie: I really don't like it (@FamilyTreeFairy) reported

    @JohnHann0404 John, I bank with NatWest and have looked for references to the carbon footprint and found nothing. It could be that I access the bank on my laptop. I don't have a smart phone so can't download their banking app. Perhaps that is where the data is shown?

  • HMRCcustomers HMRC Customer Support (@HMRCcustomers) reported

    @rrahul46 We don’t have access to personal records on our Social Media channels. If you have not received the cheque, this can be re issued and once received you can cash it into your NatWest bank account. Amandine 1/2

  • T_J_Jones_1997 Thomas Jordan Jones (@T_J_Jones_1997) reported

    @NatWest_Help watching my mum have issues with her account has made me to never bank with NatWest. She can't check account balance, use the app, withdraw cash because it's all blocked? She went in branch yesterday and even the Staff couldn't unblock it and couldn't even (1/2)

  • PetuniaSmith6 PETUNIA ❤❤🐶🐶 (@PetuniaSmith6) reported

    @NatWest_Help That does not answer my queries, it simply quotes the website. Please answer my specific queries. I have opted out of the tracker. Will my carbon footprint still be calculated? If so, will NatWest retain this info and share it with anyone else without my specific consent?
