  • ResistanceUkip UK RESISTANCE 🗣️ (@ResistanceUkip) reported

    Natwest won't give me my money. Pre ordered in person, passport produced, the floor staff get to decide if I can have any?! No managers working either, you couldn't make it up. I'd advise everyone to take their money out or you could be in this horrendous position like me. #cash

  • hammyflap hammy  (@hammyflap) reported

    NatWest’s sheepish message like “awww we hate doing this but we’re putting overdraft use charges on your account sorry but you it was you who made us do it and we’re only doing it because we love you and value you as a customer uwu pls don’t be angy”

  • albarakah_edu Al Barakah Education (@albarakah_edu) reported

    @NatWest_Help just had disgusting customer service from a Natwest whilst trying to unblock my card. been on the phone for a total of 4 hours now trying to sort this (1/2 time spent in queues) only to be insulted by your call handler and when I asked for their name they refused

  • Gregory_Kershaw Gregory Kershaw (@Gregory_Kershaw) reported

    With having a bank account as an essential in society burn natwest the latest proof that banks are awful, is there a bank that isn't guilty of profiting off fossil fuels or money laundering? #genuinequestion

  • willmontague_ Will (@willmontague_) reported

    Why is it every time I call @NatWest every single adviser always says sorry you’ve been transferred to the wrong department and then they transfer me to the wrong department. Worst service and bank ever.

  • BeesterGee GeeBeester 🇬🇧 🚀🐝🌸 (@BeesterGee) reported

    @NatWest_Help The writing is on the wall, #NatWest really finds offering any level of service in the South Downs area just too much of an ask. Time was when we had six branches, now all closed & we get a van scheduled for 1hr a week that has barely run in the last 18mths & still isn't

  • Melissa7Aimee ‘IN MY ZONE’ OUT NOW 💃🏾 (@Melissa7Aimee) reported

    NatWest are hands down the worst bank I’ve banked with. Would not recommend kmt.

  • david_winch David Winch (@david_winch) reported

    @BCLsolicitors @liamivolane I think NatWest in a press release apologised for its "failure to prevent" money laundering - which rather muddied the waters as it had pleaded guilty to failing to operate ongoing customer due diligence.

  • flygerian2010 damilola owolana (@flygerian2010) reported

    No one from NatWest decided to call me in regards to this matter that I have no knowledge of before disabling my account for the whole weekend I was not able to live a normal life of using my account for banking activities and access to my money

  • MrsVRE MrsV RE 🌈 (@MrsVRE) reported

    @AhmedKhattabUK I don't think Jules is attacking the teachers, it is a criticism of the institution rather than the people. If I criticise NatWest bank, I'm not criticising the people working for them. Agree, it is important to hold these organisations to account.

  • littlekimmy Kimmy Mac (@littlekimmy) reported

    @NatWest_Help PS. I understand it's not the individuals working for Natwest who are the problem. It's Natwest's ridiculous policies and **** work procedures.

  • Dorset_Owl Dorset Owl (@Dorset_Owl) reported

    I live in an area with a bad mobile signal outside & virtually non-existent inside. @NatWest & @Barclaycard insist on texting me one-time passcodes to access my accounts. I never get them or I get timed out or locked out of my accounts. Absolutely infuriating. 😠😠

  • Abz_Alsaleh Abz Alsaleh (@Abz_Alsaleh) reported

    Last year I called @NatWest_Help at 2am and when the adviser heard my query he hanged up. Wtf?? I got scammed and the bank shutting. Today the same thing ******* happen again I reported a scam mistake done by me. I got “Alright” then she hanged up the phone. I’m sick of NatWest!!

  • BilboShaggins97 Nikki (@BilboShaggins97) reported

    I hate that NatWest send notifications on your phone after spending now, it’s like carrying that one disapproving family member in your pocket like ‘DING! £17.89 spent at McDonalds, you big fat ****’

  • EdgarReinhard1 Edgar Reinhard (@EdgarReinhard1) reported

    @ResistanceUkip Seems wanting 'Cash' for any reason, from your PERSONAL bank account, isn't in vogue with Natwest at the moment! Sadly, after 31 years, I opened-up a number of Santander accounts! I wonder though? What exactly, is the problem in demanding cash?😜

  • CEOemail CEOemail ✉ - Marcus Williamson (@CEOemail) reported

    @d171692b @NatWestGroup Is this conflicted NatWest employee still working for them?

  • HMaester Howard Morland (@HMaester) reported

    Amanda @NatWest Chippenham branch gave excellent customer service today. Could not have been more helpful dealing with a request for assistance. Thank you

  • ickoonite Gareth P 😷 (@ickoonite) reported

    @Eric3716 @robnitm Looked like a Barclays as far as I could make out. It has moved just down the road to the left of the NatWest. (They’ve done a good job with the pub; it looks like it’s always been there.)

  • icallitjustice 👁‍🗨 (@icallitjustice) reported

    @NatWest_Help Someone was supposed to have unblocked the card this morning (in the early hours when natwest decided to block it for no reason)… but it is still blocked.

  • SoHoMu_ Woha (@SoHoMu_) reported

    @peterproperty If house prices come down, what would Nationwide, Lloyds, NatWest, and Santander think about that as the top 4 mortgage lenders to middle England. Probably have lobbyists working v hard to keep the prices (and their loan book) up

  • KatrinaMCollier Katrina Collier (She/Her) 🇦🇺🇬🇧 (@KatrinaMCollier) reported

    @NatWest_Help Fabulous, on the 3rd attempt of communicating with NatWest, I've managed to submit the form. @StarlingBank took under 10 seconds. @transferwise took next to no time too. There is so much NatWest could learn from them about 'customer service in 2021'

  • mumsy_mary Mary Rees (@mumsy_mary) reported

    @NatWest_Help @EljonEljon We are having the same issue. 6 years and Natwest still haven’t paid an outstanding bill from a skiing accident claim. We can’t log in. What do we do?!?

  • Gregory_Kershaw Gregory Kershaw (@Gregory_Kershaw) reported

    With a bank account being an essential in our society, but natwest proving yet again banks are terrible, is there a bank that doesn't profit off fossil fuels or launder money? #genuinequestion

  • lfckristian ً (@lfckristian) reported

    @NatWest_Help i recently switched (upgraded) my account but missed the switch and stay offer. Is there any chance I can be included in the promo? I’m a long time Natwest customer. Thanks

  • CharLovesBlog Charlotte Loves (@CharLovesBlog) reported

    @NatWest_Help hi, please tell me why I should stay with NatWest when you "don't have counter service" on a Saturday... The only day off of a working week.... And I can't do what I need to do?????

  • HD2onPBdotcom Brian Corbett (@HD2onPBdotcom) reported

    @HfromHorley That's true, but hats off to NatWest's Old Fogey banking phone line, which is invariably answered in seconds (after 60 secs of mindless garbage) by staff who are very polite & helpful. The Pru, OTOH, are just as you say.

  • sue_simmonds Sue Simmonds 🌹 (@sue_simmonds) reported

    @RBS_Help I’m in now and due to staff shortage etc they shut for lunch. Branch closing for good soon so this won’t be an ongoing problem as the facility to withdraw will be moved to NatWest

  • quinn_CA_to_UK Quinn (@quinn_CA_to_UK) reported

    @JLFphoto The new joiners at NatWest will be let down that you need to be a sir doctor just to reach middle management in the retail back office.

  • willmontague_ Will (@willmontague_) reported

    @NatWest_Help Well a manager said there’s nothing that can be done. I didn’t even speak to this person either. Service is so bad at Natwest. I went into a branch the other day and they told me there was nobody there to help. Complete shambles.
