    UK Mortgage Rates Surge as Middle East Conflict Sparks Inflation Fears UK mortgage rates have reversed weeks of decline as lenders respond to escalating conflict in the Middle East, with HSBC, Nationwide, Virgin Money, NatWest and Coventry Building Society announcing increases of up to 0.25% across fixed-rate products. The repricing marks an abrupt shift in a market that had been steadily improving since late 2025. According to Mortgage Solutions, the average two-year fixed rate residential mortgage has climbed from 4.32% to 4.82% as of 4 March, while the five-year fix rose from 4.94% to 4.96%. The catalyst: soaring oil and gas prices following US and Israeli strikes on Iran that sent energy markets into turmoil. The two-year swap rate rose from 3.33% on 27 February to 3.65% by 6 March, while the five-year swap rate climbed from 3.5% to 3.8%, according to Moneyfacts. Swap rates — the benchmarks lenders use to price fixed mortgages — move in tandem with market expectations for Bank of England policy. In late February, traders had fully priced in two Bank of England rate cuts by the end of 2026, but by 3 March, the chance of two rate cuts had been completely wiped out, according to the HomeOwners Alliance. The shift reflects a brutal recalculation of inflation risk. Since the first US strikes on Iran on Saturday, energy prices have soared, with the oil price increasing to 84$/barrel (Brent Crude) and UK gas prices to 139p/therm (up 15% and 78% respectively since the weekend), NIESR reported. Iran has disrupted shipping through the Strait of Hormuz — a narrow waterway through which a fifth of all global oil flows, according to Al Jazeera. The UK remains heavily dependent on gas for heating and electricity generation. For UK households, wholesale gas prices matter because they are a key driver of domestic energy bills, meaning a prolonged spike could push up costs in the months ahead. UK inflation stood at 3.4% in December 2025, already above the Bank of England's 2% target.

    When I pushed for answers your team implied I was part of a fraud pattern — despite your own agent’s written warehouse confirmation. PayPal and NatWest can’t help due to direct debit rules. Now pursuing Small Claims Court. All evidence documented.

    My 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.

    @NatWest_Help hi, I’ve been kicked out the NatWest app and have tried logging in and it won’t let me! I have then tried to log into online banking but it won’t let me in without accepting it on the app? Please help!

    @NoToDigitalID Its not our cash anymore. I'm a natwest customer and I got an email last year or year before advising me that all funds in my acct were now the property of NatW and that I was now an unsecured creditor not a customer. If I disagreed they offered to move it to a different provider

    @Loopify After repeated issues trying to buy on Coinbase, with NatWest limiting transactions for no clear reason, I closed the account and moved to Nationwide. Let’s see how they handle it.

    @JimCognito2016 Banks have been closing down for years. NatWest in my area have nearly all closed. Not sure how he can pin it on Labour.

    NatWest done bits with this new pots feature in this recent app upgrade 🥲👏🏾. They still have a few tweaks they gotta make (setting up standing orders and renaming pots without having to close them) but they have a customer for life in me I fear 🥲🥲🥲.

    RBS - the bad news never stops for this entity. Whilst an old story coming to a conclusion it is reminds us for just what an awful business RBS became, surely it is time for NatWest to vaporise this brand and its culture (for the benefit of shareholders as well as just because)? See more below @stockmark_it

    @fiffihunnybunny It’s impossible Fiona. How difficult do they want to make it? I’ve been with them since 14 and never had this difficulty. I’ve noted NatWest. Thanks 🙏

    @Loopify NatWest stopped me from buying crypto since about 3 years ago. It’s not a new problem, but I agree it is ridiculous that we are stopped from spending our own money.

    @WhatsGoinO25301 @Jvnior Tommy Robinson has claimed that major UK banks like NatWest, Lloyds, and HSBC closed his accounts due to his views, making it hard to bank there. However, he has used online banking alternatives. Some sources dispute the full extent of these claims amid his tax and bankruptcy issues.

    @thetimepls @deirdrecostigan There’s a difference between having an opinion and just punching down. People in Southall needing accessible banking aren’t the problem — decisions by NatWest are. This just shifts blame away from where it belongs.

    @jimthegiant @ZackPolanski The best and easiest way to help your local communities/society is to not hold your money with the big large banks, and move it into ethical banks, and local coops like Nationwide or the Coop. Don’t get me wrong, they are nowhere near as swanky as NatWest or Barkleys, and you’ll have to wait FOR AGES to get through on the phone, but they invest your money more ethically, and not in fossil fuels, or arms. Moving your money to an ethical bank is not as cool as running a marathon, or as virtuous as sharing some online campaign, but it’s way more impactful IMO. All my current accounts, business and savings accounts are with @CooperativeBank, but there are other good ones too. Consider doing it.

    @financialombuds I'm confused Why are investigators keep missing main point? Asking NatWest for card reader won't help because the app requests face recognition to update details in the app Please tell where will reader card fit in?

    @Rajiv1841 Kid dont rely on stats! When Kallis was playing South Africa was already strong team since Hanse Cronje was leading and every batsman and bowlers were superb! Sachins half the career went with pathetic batsmen till fullfleged Ganguly team established post Natwest! Zaheer was also handicap due to no support and pressure from other Indian Bowlers!

    @NatWest_Help hey folks! My sister banks with you still - she’s just found a car that my dad will buy for her. She needs to transfer £7k from her account to him also a NatWest customer. How can she temporarily up her limits?

    @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?
