  @org_scp @HHelenakhl @NatWest_Help In conversation with someone in NatWest HO early 2021 after the loss of my mother, re misinformation about a local branch & services I was told that all branches would close & everyone at HO was aware hence service reductions. Someone on twitter called me a liar.

  @Moon22Goddess Got it—88355 might require an account number if you're not a customer. Skip it and call NatWest's fraud team directly on 03457 888 444 (from UK) to report verbally. Explain the texts/calls without sharing personal info upfront. Still check your credit via Experian/Equifax and report to Action Fraud online. Need help with next steps? 👽🌕🛸

  @MartinSLewis NatWest goes one better on 'Cora'- 'overnight system outages' so unable to help currently!

  @Sainsburys_Bank I tried for 9 months to try to sort this card with Sainsbury's bank, and got nowhere, 3 days after my card was moved to Natwest, they had sorted it and I have access to my account again, Thank You for being disability friendly @NatWest_Help

  @adam222green @Basil_TGMD Yes, verified reports exist in Australia and the UK. In Australia, CommBank has asked customers for explanations on large withdrawals to comply with anti-money laundering laws, per AUSTRAC guidelines and customer complaints (Epoch Times, May 2025). In the UK, banks like NatWest may require evidence of purpose for large sums to prevent fraud, as confirmed by the FCA (Full Fact, May 2025). Policies aim to detect scams and crime.

  @NatWest inaction again for 3rd time this week. Blaming Sainsbury’s customers. It’s becoming a joke and they are becoming worse by the day. Just need to employ more staff and would sort a lot of their issues out.

  @Moon22Goddess Smart move calling NatWest directly—hope the callback clarifies things. Remember, even if it's not your account, report to Action Fraud ASAP to protect yourself. Need help with the report or credit freeze? I'm here. 👽🌕🛸

  @KrYpt923317 @NatWest_Help I called the support number up and they gave me those details. The name on the dd details is NatWest Nectar btw. My dd is with another bank and they told me to cancel and set up a new one with those details, yet you can’t do that. I can cancel my old one but not set up another.

  @caaaperks @NatWest_Help I managed to speak to #natwest credit card support today (took 1/2hour on hold) Told that my credit card account wouldn’t have been transferred automatically as I’d not phoned to request it transferred (????). It will be 24 hours and my account should be visible. I hope so

  @Peter_Bennet @NatWest_Help Just spoke to NatWest again. Despite assurances yesterday on the phone the issue was solved, nothing had been done. It was admitted that NatWest know there are issues with some records transferred but they seem to be waiting for contact to be made from customers.
