    @NatWest is it possible now that you have closed local branches, so we have to drive to a branch speak with someone.The 2 counters @ open branch are staffed!Oh &person who deigned to help doesn’t make me & my daughter feel like crap for wanting to speak to someone! NatWestWoking!

  • HanKhaless Han (@HanKhaless) reported

    Natwest fired an employee because she had surgery for colon cancer. Imagine being this type of a **** to fire someone because they had the nerve to have cancer. The £2M compensation should help her though and I'm sure other banks will jump at the chance to hire her.

  • SimonNeville Simon Neville (@SimonNeville) reported

    NatWest chair Sir Howard Davies is asked on the media call if he plans to stand down following recent rumours he will. "Reports of my death have been much exaggerated," he says.

    @mouthwaite @HSBC_UK Go to NatWest they call on the phone, video chat and in person. Been there for 40 years and not a problem getting hold of a human.

  • markjhooper Mark Hooper (@markjhooper) reported

    NatWest can afford to keep branches open for those who want access across Wales. Their profits in the 51% publicly-owned bank for last year amounted to almost £4.3BN. They distributed £3.8BN to shareholders. Their (in their words, restrained!) bonus pool this year is £298M.

    @davieclegg Babcock the new bogeyman on the block now that RBS has been renamed NatWest.

  • HookdHomes HH (@HookdHomes) reported

    @NatWest_Help hi, you've taken my mortgage payment out twice today (somehow). How do I get this sorted? The NatWest website is less than useless. Cheers, Ben.

  • jobrydon Jo Brydon (@jobrydon) reported

    Sorry to all the people who followed me for history stuff, but this is probably going to turn into a "why can't natwest do this one thing right" account until they finally fix it. I've only been trying to sort this out since 2016, so shouldn't be too much longer, right?

  • TashaAlexa1 Natasha Kemball (@TashaAlexa1) reported

    @mouthwaite @HSBC_UK I recommend Natwest. Never had an issue with them and good customer service x

    @NatWest_Help I applied to change my current account to a joint account and have had my id check come back 4 times on digidocs even though I’m already a NatWest customer. Can someone help as it’s been 4 weeks since my application and I urgently need the account to be joint?
