    Both businesses are trying to push us back in the direction of the other - @AskPayPal say it's up to @NatWest_Help to fix & vice versa. Klook are clearly in the wrong, acting unethically; why are PayPal/NatWest allowing them to get away with it?! Case reported to @CMAgovUK

  • Statistuta Matt Goodstadt PhD(FB) (@Statistuta) reported

    @NatWest_Help Hi NatWest. #Digidocs is down. Do you know when it will be working again?

  • dave_stirling David Stirling (@dave_stirling) reported

    @NatWest_Help good morning, I’m trying to report that my credit card account details seem to have disappeared from my NatWest banking app. Having been on hold now for half an hour, can you tell me if you’re having a problem or do I wait for the call to be picked up?

  • ChelmerPrince Chris Poole (@ChelmerPrince) reported

    NatWest Credit Card Fail. February-Card not working phoned for new one+PIN. They said Yes. Nothing arrived. Phoned again “sorry nothing sent so we’ll send you new card” April - PIN arrived, Still NO card. Such good service NOT!! They soon grab £12 if I’m a day late with payment!

  • SarahDowlingFox Sarah Dowling (@SarahDowlingFox) reported

    @MsWalke63125014 @NatWest_Help @MartinSLewis Omg that’s terrible over a year!! This makes me worried for my son to get his. No one answers the phone and NatWest can’t help with CTF. So bad. We need to escalate this to the Ombudsman this isn’t good enough.

  • SarahDowlingFox Sarah Dowling (@SarahDowlingFox) reported

    @NatWest_Help My son has still not received his money from his child trust fund back in January. No one answers the phone been holding again for 45 mins this is like the 10th time, no one replies on the portal no one can help on the NatWest help. So what now???

  • jwmjwm1951 john maynard (@jwmjwm1951) reported

    @NatWest_Help My debit card has been blocked by Natwest since April 8th. I am currently out of the UK and call charges to the UK are £1 per minute. I spent £30 today trying to reach natwest. HELP me please 🙁

  • sarahnaomi151 Sarahhh (@sarahnaomi151) reported

    So these days because of covid The people that work in @NatWest_Help can’t actually set up bank accounts any more. What do they do? Surely that’s a really big part of working in a bank? #natwest #bank #covid

  • KUkcirtaP Patrick (@KUkcirtaP) reported

    I used to think people saying not to trust banks were tin foil hat, conspiracy believing nuts. Turns out they were right. At any point your bank can block your access & not explain your rights to appeal, duration or who you can complain to. Natwest are disgusting.

  • Kapil55891298 Kapil (@Kapil55891298) reported

    @NatWest_Help @NatWestGroup No it's really not good at all! I have sent a pm to natwest help

  • justxchelseaa Chelsea (@justxchelseaa) reported

    @NatWest_Help I've just logged into my natwest app and my credit card has disappeared from it. Is this a glitch with the app or should I be worried???

  • Colin_H1972 Colin H (@Colin_H1972) reported

    @NatWest_Help Initially was a comment that I couldn’t register because your “feature” thinks my face isn’t good enough quality. FaceID that I use daily to unlock device and works to login to apps including the Natwest mobile banking app. Your biometric feature is unable to do its primary job

  • STRshirts STR Shirts (@STRshirts) reported

    I’ve been a natwest customer over 20 years but frankly have had a guts full of them lately. Which high street banks do people recommend for a bog standard current account?

  • ThisisPipWhite Pip White (@ThisisPipWhite) reported from Tarporley, England

    Worst customer experience ever = Natwest Premier Banking. When will businesses learn that customer experience IS EVERYTHING?

  • Miketheoldgit Mike H From Surrey British none European (@Miketheoldgit) reported

    Do you try to pay cheques into NatWest. They give you a app on your phone to take a picture of the cheque but the app times out before the stupid thing takes a picture.Half the time their bank cheque machines dont work and no counter service?

  • sperre4 sperre (@sperre4) reported

    @NatWest_Help No, I haven’t tried that. To be honest, if a successful, multi-million pound bank can’t make a functional app I’ll just use a different bank. I’d rather do that than reinstall the Natwest app, set-up my customer ID and going through the facial recognition every week.

  • sperre4 sperre (@sperre4) reported

    @NatWest_Help The problem isn’t with my name, bank account or postcode. The problem is with the Natwest app on iOS. A recent update broke the app and now I’m lucky if I can log in twice a day due to “some kind of error”.

  • simstar90 Ss (@simstar90) reported

    Natwest bank carry the compassion of a corpse. No care, no value, no managment skills, no problem solving even attempted. Quite literally ignore you. I mean literally dont reply. But yet when they wanted answers from me they made sure they dam well got them

  • moe_lightyear Mohamed Hussain (@moe_lightyear) reported

    @NatWest_Help my wife’s been on the phone all day with NatWest Helpline only to be hung up on on multiple occasions. All she wants to do is clear off her balance on the credit card which the banking app is not letting her do. Extremely dissatisfied with the level of service.

  • SarahDowlingFox Sarah Dowling (@SarahDowlingFox) reported

    @MartinSLewis please can you help my son get his child trust fund money off NatWest no one answers the phone or answers the online portal 10 hours of holding on the phone only to be cut off. How can this be right it’s his money. @NatWest_Help can’t help us either???? TIA

    @FlashGordonsGun I’m with the NatWest part of RBS. Had the same bank account since I moved to England and didn’t change it when I moved back to Scotland. I refuse to join a Scottish bank because of The SNP regardless of my issues last week.

    NatWest please stop investing in nuclear weapons. Surely you could support some life-enhancing industries instead? Rather than conferring dubious credibility on wmd?#BanNuclear #ChangeNatWest

  • Tans_TastyCakes Tanya Clubb (@Tans_TastyCakes) reported

    @Natwest NatWest Any ideas how My son can access his child trust fund? I have been on your page and there are hundreds of complaints regarding this and not being able to contact you. I have been on hold three times last week for over an hour and today for nearly two hours with

  • TobiasonPool Tobiason Pool (@TobiasonPool) reported

    @NatWest_Help So lloyds are open 9am till 1pm, nationwide are, barclays are, just natwest are closed. Time to vote with my feet you are doing nothing for customer loyalty, total joke.

  • JamieDhu Jamie Dhu Fraser (@JamieDhu) reported

    @BBCLauraKT Obscene. They fix the tax rules so they don't pay tax. And NatWest's Alison Rose getting £5m+ for her package is obscene too, for a near zero risk role working shorter hours than most junior lawyers who are on £50-70k. All now rigged towards the rich getting richer more than ever

  • nickhocking Nick Hocking (@nickhocking) reported

    @NatWest_Help on hold again trying to get through to get info about my daughter’s CTF… 2hours on hold this time until the line went dead. Disgusting levels of customer service from NatWest.

  • KUkcirtaP Patrick (@KUkcirtaP) reported

    If like me, you are stupid enough to bank with Natwest - don't! After 15+ years they have deiceded to block access to my accounts with no explnation given. I am having to contact them via email and wait days for a response.
