David (@David7964noBS) reported@the_k_bizzle @NatWest_Help NatWest disappointing service not on the side of the customer. Its a real shameful service. Flight cancelled check-in 9/2/26 Evidence from airline confirmed the refund and from agent but still chasing Natwest for a full refund this should have been so easy ? Going to Ombudsman !

Chris (@Sparky2504) reported@AskNationwide This is exactly why I’ve now taken my 3 accounts to NatWest. Nationwide are so behind with the times with their procedures & systems. NatWest can usually fix everything online without having to call them. People don’t have time to call companies & wait on hold for ages anymore!

NoOrdinaryFamily (@BooksFromNOF) reportedDon't you just love it when your @NatWest account gets locked for a second time in a week and you can't access your money? The second I get back to the UK, that account is getting binned. ******* useless.

ADEBAYO101 (@ADEBAYO1018) reported@groke I want to help template how reviving sort from NatWest bank with sum of 1.2 million pounds in to Barclay sms

Di Beirne (@ScattyCat) reported@NatWest_Help Cont... the NatWest app lets me log in then I just get a blank screen. HMRC think the problem is with NatWest, as I can log in. I've been told it's not a known issue with you, but it's been happening to me for 2 weeks now. I've made several payments to HMRC this way before..cont.

Di Beirne (@ScattyCat) reported@NatWest_Help Hi Mikyla - thanks, I'm still having the same problem I'm afraid. I've just tried again now to make a payment to HMRC through their app but unfortunately, after their app transfers me to the NatWest app to approve the payment, I log in, then just get a blank screen. The ... cont.

ʙʀᴀɴᴅᴏɴ ʟᴇᴇ (@Brandn_L33) reported@AutoInfatuation No complaints with our Ltd one through Mettle. Owned by NatWest provides free access to FreeAgent accounting software. Also have the other business setup with Starling Business. The scary stories of Revolut accounts being shut constantly put me off therefor didn’t look at it.

Ali@Makely (@MakelyStudio) reported10 years. 50M+ users. £11M+ revenue impact. Citibank. Mercedes. Sky. Virgin Media. NatWest. I spent a decade fixing conversion problems at companies most startups would kill to work with. what I learned: the same broken patterns show up everywhere - onboarding that loses people in the first 60 seconds, pricing pages that confuse instead of convert, signup flows with friction nobody ever fixed. now I build the same systems for funded startups.

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

Don Carlo (@ddavek007) reported@greyfinance How do you explain the sudden message from your customer care that you do not receive funds from NatWest thereby seizing fund's for almost 5 days
-
Stevie K (@the_k_bizzle) reported@NatWest_Help Hello! 👋 Hope all is well in Natwest towers. I need to give my employer my branch info, It was Prestwich, which closed, now its Cheetham Hill which is closing. I was told I can use the Bolton Service Centre but thats closed. Is it Chatham or Head office? I give?

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?
-
Tariff Turnip (@MetaverseGamma) reported@mrsDugskullery @p0Intyhead @LBC What exactly is that you think happens when a bank collapses? It’s certainly not just the shareholders that lose out, if Brown had let Natwest collapse they would have had to insure £2 trillion of customer deposits, something tells me that might have cost more than a bailout.
-
PAUL GODWIN (@godders2304) reported@McNicol94 @NatWest_Help Same here. Two different atms. And Post Office. NatWest phone Adviser said it must be my card. Tried to issue a replacement card and couldn’t action that either. What’s happening @NatWest_Help
-
Vince (@Xray_Vince) reported@Voyager4IR @NoBullCryptoBen @matttttt187 Chainlink isn't working with central banks yet. They have multiple BIS/Central bank projects, Murex, Natwest Euroclear, Oracle...... That's just ignorant 🤷 ... We all know Central banks are going to be the slowest movers.
-
NatWest (@NatWest_Help) reported@SpensGraem11427 Okay Graeme - if you're not a customer with NatWest, I'm afraid we'd have to direct you back to Northern Assist for further support with this! Please try getting in touch with them via phone and they'll hopefully be able to help. - Rachel

ryhn24.bsky.social 🦋 #freePalestine🇵🇸✊🫂🕊️🌅 (@rins2pworth) reported👍 people should have defunded all big 6 since 2008 Barclays HSBC RBS Lloyds NatWest can't think of the 6th one Coop best only bank not investing in arms and abuse of human rights Halifax Maybe nationwide though they pulled dodgy ****
-
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).
-
Ceri Smith (@CeriSmith5) reported@CraigMurrayOrg I had similar with NatWest about 15 years ago. Suddenly decided I was running my business through my account. As a sole trader, invoices were paid into it but I argued that was no different from having a salary paid in. They eventually stood down
-
Lord D (@rmeatbags) reportedIt literally felt so ******* good to have a million pounds I checked my notifications and saw the NatWest transfer and it was euphoric. I genuinely thought it was real I’ve never had such a vivid dream. There was no weird **** happening
-
el деньги (@CokenOlivesV3) reported@_dobbsey And those working for NatWest in their shittier branches… as I experienced today when I heard a staff member practically yelling somebody’s address.
-
Musa (@mkhankhakwani) reportedNatWest is a **** bank they stole my money as well
-
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.
-
That ginger guy (@Jhinchliffe07) reported@DanNeidle Yeah i set up a stocks and shares isa with natwest in November and my return so far is 9.17% since Nov, Set it up as I'm self employed and didn't have a pension pushing 40 so thought I'd have something just incase i needed to access the cash but also long term invest

Blue Heart Papi 💙💙💙 (@ElPap1Chu1o) reported@GreekTheNic @NotFarLeftAtAll I guess it’s a case of iykyk. I’m a NatWest customer so I can tell
-
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?
-
Alan Crispman (@cheeseandbunion) reported@NatWest_Help hey can you help with missing amount of money that was sent to a closed NatWest account? I switched with CASS and the money hasn’t followed
-
Tushar Motwani (@Bombay_71) reported@RaoSumukh the thing is this pose and everything around it feels good creatively only in that moment when India chased down England’s formidable target of 325/5 to win the 2002 NatWest Series Final at Lord's.

James Berkeley-Clarke (@JBerkeleyClarke) reported@Sargon_of_Akkad Probably an attack against sly news for harassing his family. Farage doesn't back down from a fight. Look at NatWest scandal he got the CEO fired! Watch what happens...

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
