  • 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 😩

  • 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

  • flosverse Flosverse (@flosverse) reported

    Alison Rose, CEO at NatWest Group, said: “There’s never been a more exciting time in the UK’s thriving technology industry, yet women are still seriously under-represented: they make up only 17% of IT specialists and 11% of working engineers in the UK.#togetherwerise

  • FinleyGomez Finley Gómez (@FinleyGomez) reported

    Don't even get me started on the NatWest bank app ad, It's beyond terrible

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • aPedantWrites A Pedant (@aPedantWrites) reported

    @Zopa Hello. How do I rescind the three month's access I gave you, today, to my NatWest bank account?

  • 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

  • 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?

  • SamPrentice The Real Sam Prentice (@SamPrentice) reported

    Anyone else using the @NatWest_Help #natwest App mines been crashing for over a week now when you log in, little to no help.. do I really need to change banks to get this resolved? #natwestapp @firstdirect you in ?

  • PurpleHayes1969 Stephen Hayes (@PurpleHayes1969) reported

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

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • goggieplays GoggiePlays (@goggieplays) reported

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

  • Goldzone3 Goldzone (@Goldzone3) reported

    @LayahHeilpern Can't transfer money out of #Natwest at the moment. I think they are in trouble, no customer service, no answer from Fraud team and blocking transactions, time to find a new bank

  • 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.

  • Shish3334 Shish (@Shish3334) reported

    @NatWest - why won’t you investigate fraudulent pending transactions? Telling customers there is a “IT glitch” is crazy. NatWest if there is an IT sofware breach be transparent and help your customers. #@natwest

  • CanaryYellow15 Canary Yellow (@CanaryYellow15) reported

    @NatWest_Help Natwest scum, my son was defrauded out of a lot of money, we call Natwest and ask for help, that phone call cost £45 in call charges. Utter scum. DONT EVER USE NATWEST, they are crooks!!!

  • 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

  • ianpay Ian Pay (@ianpay) reported

    @dannyjpalmer As examples - HSBC are official, but NatWest aren't. US Postal Service are official, but Royal Mail aren't. Go figure.

  • 1stxpert katie thomas (@1stxpert) reported

    @itvMLshow #MartinLewis What can be done now to get the Bounce Back loan opportunity for those that missed it because Natwest business account applications were closed inhouse yet their portal stated it was in progress. So it was impossible to have it. they agreed and offered £500.

  • 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!

  • hapsci Heather Doran, PhD (@hapsci) reported

    A story that might help others. We were due to be able to see new rates for our mortgage the weekend of the interest rate rise / Liz truss fiasco in Oct. We were unable to log in / get in to accounts with Natwest over a 4 day period. I complained & yesterday was offered

  • 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
