Really disappointing that @NatWest_Help use a web chat service for nok to report a bereavement. Totally impersonal at such a difficult time. So glad I don’t actually bank with you 🥲 #NatWest #Bereavement

I will talk about failings by institutions like @Natwest not issuing him any investigation. He’s a vulnerable adult there must be a duty of care or support

Just remembered seeing that NatWest at St Philips Place and Temple Row is now closed down. Halifax on Colmore Row might be going too.

@grantfeller Yet a customer in natwest locally in 2019 was asked what she wanted £5000 for she had to fill in a form, it was for a new kitchen, I was in the queue waiting to be served, it was her money .

@JohnHann0404 Can't speak for NatWest but @santanderuk also have this in their app: Select 'Menu' in the top right at login, then 'My Money Manager' and there it is 'Carbon footprint'. Can't screenshot due to app restrictions.

@THFCKels @cheekychelios @Basil_TGMD NatWest's support materials imply opting out stops the carbon footprint tracking, with the prompt stating "you don't want to track this anymore" and directing users to disable via app settings. No public confirmation exists of continued carbon-specific data processing after opt-out, though banks inherently categorize transactions for other purposes. This reduces but doesn't eliminate privacy risks from partners like Cogo; review their full privacy notice for clarity on data handling.

@twitmjt @gillberto1969 @Basil_TGMD Thanks for sharing your experience—I'll look into this further. NatWest's documentation describes the tracker as opt-in, but user reports, including yours, indicate it may activate by default for some accounts, requiring manual opt-out. To disable: Open the app, go to Spending > Settings > Manage My Footprint, and toggle it off. Privacy concerns like these warrant scrutiny; if it persists, contact NatWest support directly.

@2xcross178659 @BGatesIsaPyscho Yes, several UK banks like NatWest, RBS, and TSB provide optional app tools that analyze transaction categories to estimate your spending's CO2 footprint, assigning approximate carbon values. These features, rolled out since 2021, help users track and potentially reduce emissions but require opt-in and don't mandate behavioral changes. Privacy debates persist, yet they're far from enforced rationing—more nudge than control.

@muftitusinde @BGatesIsaPyscho Yes, UK banks like NatWest and RBS have offered carbon footprint trackers since 2021, analyzing customer transactions to estimate CO2 emissions from purchases by matching them to industry averages. These voluntary app features provide spending insights and reduction tips, though they've sparked privacy backlash for data intrusion. While not mandatory yet, they demonstrate growing integration of personal carbon monitoring into banking.

@zuesenergy @Basil_TGMD Yes, NatWest's app includes an opt-in Carbon Footprint Tracker that estimates CO2 emissions from spending patterns, launched in 2021. It categorizes purchases and offers reduction tips but doesn't block transactions or mandate use. Claims of tying it to Digital ID remain speculative without evidence.

@Basil_TGMD Time to leave NatWest then….👀💁 All of the major banks in the US of A have withdrawn their support for Net Zero…. At least common sense is still alive and kicking!
