    Need a list of UK banks please that are crypto friendly. NatWest I’m leaving as they are terrible. So far I have : starling bank. Any others would be appreciated 🤝

  • glovelace Graham Lovelace (@glovelace) reported

    Hey @NatWest_Help we found someone's NatWest debit card in the road and have been hanging on for 32 mins to report it. How can we report this online? Your website assumes the card belongs to us.

  • GemmaWhinder Gemma Whinder (@GemmaWhinder) reported

    @rachelbhandari @NatWest_Help Hi I have the same issue for weeks now. Have tried online help with Natwest a few times. O am going to have to move banks soon as I cant buy anything online and can't seem to get even an acknowledgement that there is an issue.

  • rchlrchl rachel elizabeth (@rchlrchl) reported

    @NatWest_Help hi I’m trying to help my neighbour set up his NatWest app but now he needs to wait for a postal Activation code . Do you have any paper leaflets about using the app ? He’s not very tech savvy so might appreciate it . Thanks

  • betsye17 LissyE17 💙 (@betsye17) reported

    @NatWest_Help we are currently stuck in the US unable to use debit card as Natwest have blocked it despite notifying you of our travels. Please help

  • kpa421 koopa (@kpa421) reported

    @virginmedia @NatWest_Help you do realise that people using a Natwest card STILL can't pay their bill online. It's been 2 weeks now, are you even trying to sort it? You know what it is, the new security Natwest have introduced, are you going to fix this?

  • WeeLeeMcD Bully in the alley 🍻 (@WeeLeeMcD) reported

    @NatWest_Help I've been on the phone for hrs to NatWest over the last 6 weeks! How's this phone number going to help? If you can't accommodate customers, without particularly tech, how is it possible for us to continue banking with you?

  • Stephen62122543 Deleted (@Stephen62122543) reported

    @kwallis7 @NatWest_Help There's a fantastic solution for that, use the switching service to move your money away from Natwest like I've just done.

  • Sam_Cross123 Sam Cross (@Sam_Cross123) reported

    @NatWest_Help I’ve had a voicemail left from NatWest(naming my local branch) from a mobile number, asking me to call back on a slightly different number (I think-I have no signal at home so it was a little broken up!) or asking me to email them back…does this sound genuine? 🤔

  • crispfan99 somerset smith (@crispfan99) reported

    @sainsburys Yeah it’s weird, the natwest iphone app sends notifications of any transactions and there was one of £100 then one of £40.13 (i know!!!) but in the actual app transaction list there is just the correct one for £40.13… weird. I tried using the bank online help they suggested you

  • HashimShubbar Hashem 🍁 (@HashimShubbar) reported

    @jbrukh The majority of us in the UK use 2 layers of banking ( main bank + online bank ) but Coinbase is a bank and Natwest can't block Bank transfer to Coinbase for any reason

  • Rondonisthegoat Soolam Roondon (@Rondonisthegoat) reported

    @frankie_efc His NatWest raps are **** anyway

  • CurlyClareToo Dame Lambchop ✊🏼💙 NHS ✊🏼❤️ BLM #StaySafe (@CurlyClareToo) reported

    @SuzieWo20886208 @snowy2007 NatWest wouldn’t extend overdraft to support busy studio through cash flow crisis in 93. Had to close. The month after my building society became a bank I received a repossession order. I had been found “fit for work” by Atos but waiting (a year) for neuro consult. #Banks

  • sendergram Andy Rosen (@sendergram) reported

    This is unacceptable. My parents' welfare is in jeopardy! A quick search on the net shows many other people have had the same issue with Natwest and filing LPA's. Please can somebody contact me or let me know who I can contact by phone, email or letter.

  • Martscomps82 Martscomps82 🔥B (@Martscomps82) reported

    @skrill Hey,i have a natwest visa debit card,Will i be able to make payments to skrill with this card ? Natwest like to block payments to certain service providers

  • Sliwinski Alexander Sliwinski (@Sliwinski) reported

    @oneofmoo That the terrible exchange rate you speak of is applied every time they auto convert into your GBP account. At a minimum this provides some control over exchange factors. And NatWest doesn’t charge for inter account exchange (but they do apply their worse exchange rate).

  • James7666 James7666 (@James7666) reported

    @alanlyons33 @JohnSimpsonNews NatWest Three not prosecuted in UK because there was no evidence that UK law had been broken, i.e. what they ‘did’ wasn’t even unlawful here! Plus if Assange wasn’t in USA when these ‘crimes’ were committed shouldn’t he be tried where he ‘committed’ them - territorial element.

  • jeffpovey 🇺🇦Jeff Povey 💉💉💉💉🇺🇦 (@jeffpovey) reported

    @Andrea25079843 @Jennyfurfuls @MarcCorbishley Yes, awful to see what’s happened to the building, living only five minutes away. I even used to pop in outside working hours, as if I ever needed cash, I used to use the 2 cash points we had in the office, one NatWest and one Lloyds.

  • MarkSabin51 Mark Sabin (@MarkSabin51) reported

    @NatWest_Help guys… trying to call 03457888444 but line goes dead after welcome to NatWest.. tried02380226443 number out of service.. tried Cora - no help … how do I contact my bank without actually going there!

  • Sharpharp123 Sharpharp (@Sharpharp123) reported

    @NatWest_Help @DylrrUTD Very annoyed in Natwest, why are not allowed payments to Binance, even when speaking with the Fraud team and ackowledging risk, you should not block payments if I accept the risk. I am closing the account now, Natwest don't control and prevent me from using my funds how i wish!

  • Stephen62122543 SB (@Stephen62122543) reported

    @leedscomposer @NatWest_Help Use the free switching service and move your money away from Natwest like I've just done, if they don't want to make it easy for you to do your banking then someone else will.

  • MrXenakis Mr Xenakis (@MrXenakis) reported

    @NatWest_Help Hi, not sure if you can help. Booked a holiday apartment but upon arrival it was in horrific state so we left and stayed elsewhere. The company are not responding to my emails. Are you able to intervene? I paid with my Natwest Credit Card

  • cheshiretoad Viscount Toad KG 🌸🕊 (@cheshiretoad) reported

    @BeaumontDMD @Barclays Every time I visit a bank branch there's a queue. During the 2020 lockdown they were down the street at my local NatWest.

  • aliuk0786 Ali Khan (@aliuk0786) reported

    @MariamB85790854 @Motawif_SA @DilwarH92024891 System also accept Barclays and HSBC debit card. NatWest is a problem even with master card

  • Dragon_Soul Deborah🐲 (@Dragon_Soul) reported

    @GAMEHelps If customer services can’t help update a payment for a pre-order and the website update payment functionality isn’t working how am I able to retain my order!? My card changed from visa debit to visa Mastercard with NatWest. The product is OOS and I don’t want to lose.

  • oneofmoo Moo Yu (@oneofmoo) reported

    @Sliwinski Yeah. I've got that setup but the Lloyd's rate when I choose to convert is so bad compared to the market rate. For the next one, probably need a decent way to go from NatWest to Wise in USD or something. Have you solved that? Also not with Lloyds this time so that might help?

  • katie1alden Katie Alden (@katie1alden) reported

    @NatWest_Help every time I use my NatWest card on @AmazonUK it declines. Even with sufficient funds and don’t even get the option to verify via the app. Is this a know issue? I still have a visa debit rather than Mastercard.

  • MrXenakis Mr Xenakis (@MrXenakis) reported

    @NatWest_Help Hi, not sure if you can help. Booked a holiday apartment but upon arrival it was in horrific state so we left and stayed elsewhere. The company are not responding to my emails, requesting a refund. Are you able to intervene? I paid with my Natwest Credit Card
