Peter Sullivan (@PeterSu79741296) reported@Dodlink @sewateruk @ThreshedThought They promised to deliver water to those on the priority list last weekend but didn’t. Promised again today, but …. My neighbours are elderly & suffering from various cancers but still no help from SEW. Still as long as the NatWest, the FCDQ & UoA are getting their money….

Andrew Jackson (@aj44brown) reportedMy 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.
-
Di Beirne (@ScattyCat) reported@NatWest_Help 2/2 problems. I've contacted HMRC, they said it's not a problem at their end, must be NatWest as I can log in, but then approval screen is blank. Is this a known issue? Please ask your I.T. to fix it. Been waiting for a reply in app customer service for over 10 hrs

Nash (@nashahmed3) reported@Loopify it’s not just a NatWest issue it’s a banks as a whole issue, hope they resolve this swiftly bro

BANG!³ (@Str8Buckets_) reportedThere needs to be something about Ultra @Revolut but just below private banking I'd love that concierge service NatWest are marketing to me but at Revolut
-
MR C (@MR_C1979) reported@NatWest_Help NatWest, your customer service is terrible. 40mins on the phone line then got cut off. Don’t you think if your customer will need to card reader to do bank transfer, you should just automatically send them one, not having to climb a ducking mountain just to get one?
-
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
-
David Barker (@DMTBarker) reported@NatWest_Help well I am stuck here in Mauritius with no flights and travel company only covering 3 extra days of accommodation and then guess what my NatWest travel insurance excludes flight cancellation as a result of war I am alone and no help from Alliance
-
BruceUnfiltered (@BruceUnfiltered) reportedCash machines and bank branches have been disappearing across Britain, even though many basic card and PIN problems still require an ATM or in-person banking service. UK regulators and LINK data show a sharp reduction in free-to-use ATMs and ongoing branch closures, while millions of people still rely on cash access. The debate over access to cash, digital banking, NatWest, HSBC, Lloyds and bank branch closures raises serious questions about who modern banking is actually designed for.

Claire Webb (@ClaireMBear) reported@BarclaysUKHelp Are you having trouble with NatWest Payit app? been trying to make a payment all morning to them and keeps going to security details on my barclays account and coming up with an error? 🤔
-
Izzy🛎 (@bell_necessary) reported@NatWest_Help @LifeOnSkaro Verse 2 The bankers tried, but not very hard, the customer lost their mind not their card. When venting on X, they shared their dismay, but Natwest made fun; now what do you say? 🤨

🏳️⚧️ Esther :3 (@ArchiveEsthers_) reported£40 refund? Not processed Nationwide app? Not loading NatWest? Not allowing money transfers My patience? Lost a while ago RSD? Wants me to kms Tesco self checkout? A ***** My 2 hour lab? Started 6 mins ago Might just steal potatoes, burn down Tesco, then kms tbh
-
Trousers (@trousersoflife) reported@thejamieseymour @CallumLyon They will. This is the problem. At any point in life you can just say ‘it’s all ****’ Yes ‘a lot of mortgage lenders won’t consider overtime’ but you only need ONE mortgage company to accept your application. NatWest accept overtime as income
-
NatWest (@NatWest_Help) reported@weyland76 Hmmm, this doesn't sound great Matt 😕 but let's see how we can help- can you tell me a bit more about what's happened so we can see where to go from there? Do you have reason to believe that someone has made a loan or credit card application in your name with NatWest? ~Louise

Robyn Tomos (@TomosRobyn) reportedAny fellow @RestoreBritain supporters out there having issues joining via Natwest, been trying for a couple of days, I can't get past the verification stage to process my payment??? 🤔

Omkar_ (@_balancing_act_) reportedThere should be more of triangular & quadrangular T20 series in the ICC FTP. That will give associates more opportunities against top teams. Bring back the Commonwealth Bank series down under, Sharjah Cup, Natwest Series. Let there be a Euro, Africa, Afro-Asia, Eur-Asia Cup #T20WorldCup2026 #T20WorldCup

Matty 🇺🇦 (@mattywop89) reported@Jimomthytimbers @disclosetv Intimidation rose in 2024 50% mostly online, awful & addressed with new laws. No evidence of systemic blackmail to your door. Farage got NatWest apology & settlement, &Truss resigned after market reaction. BoE stabilized by buying bonds, not a coup. City influential but regulated

Raye (@Raye455) reported@GoodwinMJ Matt the closure of bank branches in Denton, Manchester—similar to trends across Tameside and the UK—is primarily driven by a significant, long-term shift toward digital and mobile banking, which has led to a dramatic reduction in branch footfall. Major banks, including NatWest and Lloyds, have closed branches in the area, stating that they must adapt to changing customer habits, as many users now prefer to bank online. It’s down to the public being pushed to use online banking. Not @Keir_Starmer
-
Tim (@timw19771) reported@NatWest_Help hi folks. I’ve got a NatWest credit card. Interested in rooster for my kid. Do I qualify for the free rooster subscription as a NatWest customer even though it’s just credit card and not current account?
-
[mine] Art Gallery (@CarshaltonArt) reported@MLorrM How many TOP BODS illicitly benefitted from engineered customer asset sales when RBS, NatWest, Lloyds, HSBC & Barclays were faced with being exposed for fraudulently selling derivatives, fixed rate loans & invoice financing to U.K. & Irish SMEs with HIDDEN CREDIT FACILITIES?

Car Autotrader (@autotrader80497) reported@hullkrofficial Awful ticketing system just continuously redirects back to the initial basket page after approving in the NatWest app. Improve it.
