  @RupertLowe10 @ShapoMelon @Asmongold I gave up on him when he abandoned all those people he promised to help who had been Debanked. He got his NatWest payoff. Shut down the website. And never mentioned it again.

  @CR1337 If I was a NatWest customer I'd close my account if they think they can quiz me on what I'm going to do with my own money and then refuse to give it to me because they didn't like my answer.

  @NoToDigitalID @FlowerdewBob Sorry but this is being misused to stir up outrage. I bank with NatWest. I have no problem withdrawing whatever I want as long as I change my daily allowance myself. If I keep it low someone who steals my card or details can’t withdraw £2000: my choice

  @NatWestBusiness How is anyone supposed to sell a business when the new owner has been “denied” access to the business accounts due to NatWest’s inability to sort out a bank mandate. Access was requested a fortnight ago.

  @NatWest_Help NatWest couldn’t help their customers if they tried !! I left NatWest 19 years ago, seen an offer to bring my business back last month, reopened 3 accounts and guess what, same **** service I left with. Well unlucky… that’s a guaranteed half million you won’t get on your books!

  @GoodwinMJ Matt the closure of bank branches in Denton, Manchester—similar to trends across Tameside and the UK—is primarily driven by a significant, long-term shift toward digital and mobile banking, which has led to a dramatic reduction in branch footfall. Major banks, including NatWest and Lloyds, have closed branches in the area, stating that they must adapt to changing customer habits, as many users now prefer to bank online. It’s down to the public being pushed to use online banking. Not @Keir_Starmer

  Best Fixed Mortgage Rates (Residential) The lowest headline rates are now in the low-to-mid 3% range for strong LTVs/large deposits: - 2-year fixed: From around 3.55% (top deals, often requiring low LTV/high deposit; e.g., NatWest at 3.62% for 40% deposit/first-time buyers). - 5-year fixed: From around 3.75% (e.g., NatWest competitive at 3.75% for 40% deposit). - Other highlights: - No-fee 2-year fixed (60% LTV): ~4.04% (TSB). - No-fee 5-year fixed (60% LTV): ~3.91% (Nationwide). - 95% LTV (high loan-to-value, e.g., smaller deposits): ~4.68% (Nationwide for 2-year). Averages (across all deals): 2-year fixed ~4.31–4.82%, 5-year ~4.9%. SVRs (revert rates) sit around 7.27% — much higher! Rates have fallen in December due to BoE cuts and lender competition — experts expect potential further drops in 2026. ### Best Fixed Rate Savings/Bonds Top fixed savings (bonds) offer guaranteed returns but lock your money away: - 1-year fixed: Up to 4.46% AER (e.g., LHV Bank or similar; some at 4.40–4.5%). - Longer terms: 2–5 years around 4.21–4.31% (e.g., UBL UK 3-year at 4.21%, Hampshire Trust 5-year at 4.31%). - Easy access alternatives: Up to ~4.5% (for flexibility, though not fixed).

  @Dontigga @funkomi If you earn £140k a year net income I’m pretty sure taking out a mortgage from Lloyds or NatWest to buy a home won’t be so difficult after two good years of working
