  • Blayne2cool Mfs (@Blayne2cool) reported

    Think natwest app is down. Bro it’s payday I just wanna see my money 😔

  • ShazzaG8 Shazza G (@ShazzaG8) reported

    @NatWest_Help @MoneySavingExp @MartinSLewis Yes and I had to wait a long time before being able to speak to the Fraud team and getting the payment released. I know a lot of other Natwest/RBS customers having this problem - of legitimate payments made to this specific savings account *continually* being blocked. Frustrating

  • nomad141190 Ali (@nomad141190) reported

    @NatWest_Help I have a question NatWest, is it acceptable to take over a month to return money to my account that you mistakenly processed?? On top of the useless customer service that know one seems to know what they are om about?

  • Stevros1988 Daniel Stevanato (@Stevros1988) reported

    @J0sephwormald @htafc @htafchelp I've had the same issue, are you paying on credit card? I've just rung Natwest and apparently there's some fairly new regulations for large payments which has left some retailers needing to update their payment systems so they can process credit card payments.

  • HendryKiara Kiara Hendry (@HendryKiara) reported

    @NatWest_Help I've done everything I can to help my little sister access her CTF. NatWest are really making it near to impossible for these young ones to access THEIR accounts! Can someone get back to me about this as we've been to the bank and called every possible number !!!

  • TheEmperorSagar Emperor Sagar V Chauhan I (@TheEmperorSagar) reported

    Won my complaint against NatWest, and confirmed Fraudulent access to my accounts.

  • ShazzaG8 Shazza G (@ShazzaG8) reported

    @NatWest_Help @MoneySavingExp @MartinSLewis Yes and I then had to wait a long time before being able to speak to the Fraud team and getting the payment released. I am mentioning it as I know a lot of other Natwest/RBS customers having this problem - of legitimate payments made to this specific savings account being blocked

  • lisalacey32 Lisa Lacey (@lisalacey32) reported

  • lesleymrobinson lesley robinson (@lesleymrobinson) reported

  • ImxInsomnia ImxInsomnia 🇬🇧 (@ImxInsomnia) reported

    I went to my local store for Milk. I have the funds in my bank, no issue there. My contactless card would not work, **** NatWest. I tried my pin and reached a limit. Because I rarely use my pin. Some random woman just paid for me 😭 I have faith in humanity

  • BillyHynes Billy Hynes (@BillyHynes) reported

    If @Yahoo don't fix their mobile app to allow one to see the actual email address of a sender (rather than what spammers and phishers want e.g Natwest, HM Customs), I'll just stop with it after 20+ years. It's ridiculous

  • SeaneenMclaugh6 Seaneen Mclaughlan (@SeaneenMclaugh6) reported

    @RBS_Help please please please can someone help as I'm at the end of my tether! My daughter's child trust fund matured 26th feb 2022 & I've spent hours on the phone to natwest 03453002585 in a queue (don't know where) until giving in & hanging up.

  • Jamboreeee51 Jamboreeee (@Jamboreeee51) reported

    @NatWest_Help My son has been trying for 3 days now to get in touch re his NatWest Online Investment. The online portal does not work and he’s been on hold on the phone for hours each day. This is really poor customer service and extremely frustrating.

    @krakensupport @krakensupport Hi! Are you aware of any issues with 3D Secure payment when trying to buy crypto with Visa Debit cards? I've never had an issue before until today. The 3D Secure box pops up, it shows "NatWest" and then goes blank and I can't hit 'continue'.

  • BirnieLinzi Elsie Bee (@BirnieLinzi) reported

    @superteadrinker I feel your pain. I spent 10 hours over the space of two days going through same issue to 23 different members of NatWest staff. Seems like after 25 mins they automatically cut off & you never get same person again. Ended up explaining problem 23 times. Infuriating.

  • larapeepee 💙 lara 🐁🪴 (@larapeepee) reported

  • HUGEGRIN Huge Grin (@HUGEGRIN) reported

    @NatWest_Help @joinmettle @Just_Entr But good on you NatWest for replying Mettle couldn't give a **** obviously because where is their reply and offer of help? WELL DONE NATWEST SHAME ON METTLE

  • IanTurner4 Ian Turner (@IanTurner4) reported

    @MahyarTousi I had a problem with my bank (NatWest) never mind what. So, get on the phone totally and utterly pointless! Ended up driving 35 miles each way to get the simple thing sorted out! I live in Aberdeenshire! FGS don’t ask NatWest to organise anything!

  • PBSport Peter B (@PBSport) reported

    @NatWest_Help Hi, how on earth am I supposed to change the direct debit payment amount for a Natwest credit card (paid from a Natwest bank account)? Seems completely missing from both app and website.

  • seqilol Seqi (@seqilol) reported

  • MrChrisWands Chris Wands (@MrChrisWands) reported

    The new natwest debit Mastercard design is awful.
