  • 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

  • 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

  • SuePinkney Sue Pinkney (@SuePinkney) reported

    NatWest Bereavement Service is appalling -never answer the phone shame on you.

  • 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 😩

  • SavinoDelc cryptomaniac (@SavinoDelc) reported

    @LadyofCrypto1 @BTC_Archive I think santander is fine at least my banks allows transfers to exchange some friends had issues with natwest

  • 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 😔

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • zz5g72 Steve (@zz5g72) reported

    @MoneySavingExp Natwest site is a mess. Going round in circles due to Joint account. Basically it seems you can't use the switch service for a joint account. Have to first open a sole account and later add another person. Pain in the butt.

  • 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.

  • PurpleHayes1969 Stephen Hayes (@PurpleHayes1969) reported

    @NatWest_Help Having issues sending DMs, yes judith I received 2 text messages from natwest

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • goggieplays GoggiePlays (@goggieplays) reported

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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • pbpphotography Paul Beggy (@pbpphotography) reported

    @Peston Just sell the shares in NatWest to help alleviate some of the deficit. Delay HS2 or reconfigure it. Tap up the energy companies for Windfall. Bobs your Uncle *****’s your aunt

  • 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?

  • dlfranks David Franks (@dlfranks) reported

    @johnlewishelp @KatieMarieWales I have called the old JL Partnership Card team a few times now, I stuge to hear them and they have issues hearing me and keep saying they haven’t received the payment and it won’t work after 31st and to speak to NatWest. NatWest says it’s been sent and accepted by JL. Stressful!

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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
