  @sainsburys NatWest have replaced my Nectar credit card with a Visa one. Your website just says "details have been incorrectly entered" when I try to add it. NatWest said no issues their end.

  How tf can #Natwest reject my driving licence for being too blurry when their website automatically takes the picture for you once the card is in focus & in the correct position. Just waited an hour to be verified to be told no because they chose to apparently take a blurry pic.

  @travelod_Se I paid twice this morning. Online. The cardinal wouldn’t authorise me yet all the details correct as my NatWest asked me to approve permission. “ is comma still in your server “ I’m now not at the hotel because of that. and I’m waiting for combined legal counsel to account legally @WestMids_CA on protected disclosures

  Has anyone ever used an AI assistant that has actually assisted them and sorted out a problem, or are they all like the ones I vainly turn to in desperation? The latest one that got me nowhere is the NatWest one. Talk about taking to the wall.

  @DebtFreeBy30UK I'm no expert, but it might make sense to pay minimum on your cards, throw everything at Monzo, then MBNA, Barclays then NatWest. Don't bother investing with this much debt. Squeeze some out of your weekly spend, even 30 quid a week will help. Move debt around to 0% early.

  @santanderuk @TSB Why have you blocked access to online banking unless various ID demands and proof of earnings are met? You say it's the law, but I bank with Barclays and NatWest and haven't had to do this? I don't see how it's only necessary for you?

  @support_desk79 @NatWest_Help is this an official NatWest support account?

  @ZackPolanski Never mind me just down voting the community notes that are willfully ignoring the very valid point. It you got arrested for running into NatWest and smashing up their display, charged for it, then got done for robbing the bank later with no jury or due process you'd kick off.
