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
-
Aparajithan N (@aparajithan) reported@kartik_kannan Impossible, not even news… but thats also the reason I sat through the entire Natwest final in 02 because I was leaving for the US right after that & was afraid that i may not get to see another game for a few years… though that didn’t happen… but glad i sat through that game.

An Engineer (@deloreancars) reported@PaulReadGB @LifeThruSpecs Credit cards carry insurance by law. They don't like it, and might even claim it's not true. But squirrelled away in a dark corner of their website is a crappy little form to fill in so they can begrudgingly comply with their legal obligations (been there, done it with NatWest).

JDBell (@bell_jd) reportedMy NatWest app asked me to enter pin rather than bio fingerprint login now it just keeps timing out i can't login using a browser as i need to approve in the app. Any ideas @NatWest_Help

Cmdr_Green🏴🇬🇧 1.0 @liilBarcodeliil (@Stg_Gr33nz) reportedLet me guess they are going after there own customers Picking and choosing whom to target and bankrupt there is always a problem, it will be them! causing it Blackout incoming, whats next HSBC, Natwest or the Bank of England collapsing on itself shareholders abandoning ship?

Matthew Burrows (@MJBurrows) reportedWhy is #NatWest down 4% today on a £2bn profit beat? When markets ditch a beat, they're pricing what the headline missed. Here's what you need to know.

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.

Di Beirne (@ScattyCat) reported@NatWest_Help Hi - been trying to make a payment to HMRC via their app. In app, it directs to NatWest app for payment approval. For last few days, can log in to NatWest app when directed, but page to approve payment is just blank. I've used this way to pay in the past with no 1/2
-
R (@rjb_1998) reported@JoeStephenson96 Tbf bankers and people working at a bank are different, if someone turned up to their customer facing role at NatWest hammered I don't think they'd last very long
-
VirtualAstro (@VirtualAstro) reportedI used to recommend NatWest but unfortunately, they have provided a really really poor service recently I used to recommend them a lot, after beying a loyal customer. Maybe not so much now. Time to join another bank possibly... @NatWestBusiness @NatWestGroup @NatWest_Help
-
Götz von Berlichingen #FBPE (@georgebernhard) reported@MartinRemains @Steven_Swinford Yeah, but if the self-proclaimed media elite stopped ****-stirring they might have to go and do some journalism. Like finding out whether certain hedge funds had inside information when they shorted Natwest, or what happened to the various bribes, or....

Sam Hosier (@AutoInfatuation) reportedAs of 1st June I am going back to being solely self employed and will need a new business account as a Sole Trader. Given up with having a physical branch to go to as we literally only have a HSBC and a NatWest left in my town now 🙃 Have had both a Monzo and Lloyds LTD Company Business accounts before and have a Monzo personal account I quite like. I keep being told Revolut Business is really good now they have their banking license? Most of my payments will be made via BACs either way, only need access for myself and also needs to be able to link up to Xero. What Bank does everyone suggest to go with or even avoid?
-
P Crizzle (@p_crizzle) reported@NatWest_Help I wish to make a complaint about the service I’m receiving from NatWest in respect of a Business Bank Account application. We’ve already received compensation for one complaint but the bank are being obstructionist, awkward and frustrating.
-
Three Shires Head (@ThreeShiresHead) reported@AaronBastani My Samsung S23 Ultra is insured through NatWest. I had a cracked screen, broken charging port & damaged frame. Paid £50 & got all three problems fixed plus new battery, all data restored. Took a man in a van at my house about an hr. Don't see the need for these EU restrictions.
-
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
-
Tommy P (@TomPowell6742) reported@stephenpollard Tesco/NatWest comparison assumes all businesses are the same. But Rail is a natural monopoly and already depends heavily on the state. It's a question of public service versus commercial service. Rails different as passengers can't switch provider in any meaningful sense.

Paul Lonergan (@miesque1) reported@NatWest_Help Hi. I recently had a change of NatWest credit card but BT are still asking for monthly payment via the old card and this request is getting refused. Can you help, pls. Regards, Paul L.
-
Toby (@Toby1062065) reportedWhen 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.
-
Bjorn Again (@NewBjornTab) reportedNatWest - your support for elderly people is so bad! You have very little empathy for relatives & you just don’t listen to those trying to help & resolve a problem. Call after call is the same! It’s like talking to a brick wall!
-
Charlotte Coombs (@CharCoombs1) reported@bmob719 @BristolCity If you’re paying using NatWest or TSB card you will have issues - been trying to renew our seats since Friday! There is a known issue but they don’t appear to communicating this!!
-
Express (@ExpressBSV) reported@doompost NatWest & Uphold, never had a problem.

dobbsie (@paulcdobbs) reported@robprogressive A couple of years ago I went to buy some BTC from Coinbase as I had done many times. Natwest declined my card several times so I called the bank and was told there was no problem and to wait and try again. This continued for 24hrs so I called them back and eventually they put me through to another office - after several conversations someone came on and send actually Natwest have blocked any purchases on crypto exchanges due to the risk of fraud - I went nuts, if this is bank policy then why did items so many calls to get this response - I can check a box confirming that I accept the fraud risk and send my life savings to a Nigerian Prince but cannot invest with a US stock listed company which I had done many times previously - the UK banking industry is absolutely terrified of BTC - they recently allowed some investment in BTC ETF's (not quite ETFs but similar) in reality it's virtually impossible to access these. If they do this with gold then that's another thing altogether - I live and work in Asia now and gold is a key pillar of investment as they never trust the government and banks as burnt so any times in the past

Ethan (@ethanms10) reported@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?
-
Musa (@mkhankhakwani) reportedNatWest is a **** bank they stole my money as well
-
Gen Kofi🇬🇧 🇬🇭 (@Ko_fi_Ob) reported@Lifeofdavie_ Most banks are shutting down due to 90% automation of processes. I have an account with NatWest, the branch in my town has only 2 staff: One teller/customer advisor and Branch Manager/Lead. Machine to deposit coins, cash in, pin resets, cheques scanners, digitised processes!
-
Jijingi u Ter (@jijingiUter) reported@iSlimfit God bless them indeed Deloitte leads with 26 weeks full pay from day one (flexible too can spread it out), same for NatWest, Aviva, and BT. Proper family support like this is a game-changer. Makes you wonder when more sectors (and countries) will catch up.

❤️citizen Macca (@P15pm) reported@thetimepls @deirdrecostigan It’s a shame the conversation turns toward blaming communities, rather than focusing on how service reductions by NatWest impact places like Southall.
