    I called NatWest customer services as I managed to lock my debit card. The initial line charged £3.50 per minute. I brought this charge up with the NatWest operator for him to put the phone down on me. So much for customer service @NatWest_Help @NatWestGroup

    @NatWest_Help my wife is trying to add her NatWest credit card (she's an additional card holder) to Apple Pay, but text verification isn't available, and the recorded message when calling the number says to use the app, which also doesn't work. Can you help please?!

    @NatWest_Help What a load of garbage. Making out it’s my fault for wanting to pay bills. ******* NatWest #changeofbanklikely

  • spotjot spotter jotter (@spotjot) reported

    Hello @EpsonUK, You have a known issue with ReadyPrint taking payments from Natwest, and yet you have disabled MY printer because of a problem which is not my fault. I cannot phone up to pay, and cannot print anything. Please sort this out, I am not the only user affected!

    I now have spoken to their support for THE THIRD TIME and will now wait another 2 weeks for a new card. Thanks Natwest, you're the best

    @NatWest_Help Because I only hold a help to buy isa with NatWest there is no way anyone other than branch staff can help, apparently.

  • harlo786 Dan V (@harlo786) reported

    @NatWestBusiness if you are a small business turning over £1 million with like 15 to 20 employees then don’t use Natwest. No support when trying to open simple things like a business savings account or credit card for business use. Since Rob Dearsley left feels like it’s not same

  • ddymurphy 🧑🏽‍🦯diddy (@ddymurphy) reported

    Been on hold for an hour and a half! Do natwest have people working in their call centre or nottt #natwest @NatWestGroup

  • KhyleDeen Khyle (@KhyleDeen) reported

    @NatWest_Help @arrivanorthwest Ok, how long should I wait before contacting? Really think there’s a problem with NatWest and Arriva when using Apple Pay, my other bank works fine whenever I have to use it in this circumstance, these issues happening too much now, already lost out on £4+ last time

  • StarlingBank Starling Bank (@StarlingBank) reported

    @acraigmiles The EUR account only supports incoming SEPA payments. If Natwest can instruct a SEPA payment, then you shouldn't have a problem receiving in your EUR account, but you'll only be able to use your IBAN & BIC associated with your EUR account. We hope this helps 👍

  • possiblyperfect Tracy Williams (@possiblyperfect) reported

    @ruffnex1 @TheFreds Not had any problems with my PayPal, starling, Halifax NatWest or nationwide, how odd

  • KhyleDeen Khyle (@KhyleDeen) reported

    730am my #ApplePay transaction didn’t go thru, then at 733am I get a notification in my Wallet app saying approved, when it was declined on the @arrivanorthwest machine twice with my @NatWest_Help card. Arriva’s machines seem to have issues with #ApplePay and NatWest, not happy

  • Knight1Tim BlackKnight (@Knight1Tim) reported

    3 The last document was sent to NatWest 23/02/2022 and according to all the info I’ve had so far is that it would take no longer than 10 working days. It’s now 14 working days since you received it? Can I ask how much NatWest make in interest on dead people?

  • katielouise_j KatieLouise 🌙 FNATIC (@katielouise_j) reported

    holy moly im so annoyed at natwest (my UK bank) trying to get a new card after they blocked my old one because they thought its details were found online or some ****, BUT DIDNT TELL ME THEY DID THAT so just one day i tried to use it and OFC it didnt work..

  • cobblerBobcat Cobbler Bob (new account -follow back if sound) (@cobblerBobcat) reported

    @fullanarchy Oh ****, I just moved back to NatWest and I get terrible spying vibes off them. I hate how they have features where you can see where you spend your money. Like **** off, let me have a gambling and drinking problem in peace. It's under control.
