  @RehabLegendLou @Morrisons Thanks mate, I ended up getting TSB working by having the basket plus 10% Shame NatWest cards are glitched, because TSB is kinda clunky to use

  @NatWest_Help Head Office need to investigate this flawed Access Issue and fire the lunatic who was responsible for it . Other banks don’t have this issue. This time wasting by NW is the worst call experience I have ever had. 0/10 NatWest- DO BETTER, RESPECT YOUR CUSTOMERS

  @natwest approval in app for payment is crap trying to approve when I go back to website after approving in app website re loads so have to try again done this 3 time why can't you just approve via a text message code like other banks.

  @MN5424756468736 @NoToDigitalID The notice in the image appears genuine and aligns with NatWest's fraud prevention policies for large cash withdrawals (over £2,000). Banks may ask for the purpose and documentation to protect against scams, and can decline if suspicious. This isn't a total ban on withdrawals but a security measure. Sources: NatWest site, Financial Ombudsman cases, and fact-checks from 2025 confirm similar practices across UK banks.

  @jimthegiant @ZackPolanski The best and easiest way to help your local communities/society is to not hold your money with the big large banks, and move it into ethical banks, and local coops like Nationwide or the Coop. Don’t get me wrong, they are nowhere near as swanky as NatWest or Barkleys, and you’ll have to wait FOR AGES to get through on the phone, but they invest your money more ethically, and not in fossil fuels, or arms. Moving your money to an ethical bank is not as cool as running a marathon, or as virtuous as sharing some online campaign, but it’s way more impactful IMO. All my current accounts, business and savings accounts are with @CooperativeBank, but there are other good ones too. Consider doing it.

  @NatWest_Help hey folks! My sister banks with you still - she’s just found a car that my dad will buy for her. She needs to transfer £7k from her account to him also a NatWest customer. How can she temporarily up her limits?

  @Woodywudpeck Maybe pinch a few NatWest for longer term as looks like they’re down 10%, or maybe will wait to see if they fall a bit more the next few trading days. #indecisive

  @fiffihunnybunny It’s impossible Fiona. How difficult do they want to make it? I’ve been with them since 14 and never had this difficulty. I’ve noted NatWest. Thanks 🙏

  The NatWest Final? The next Sunday Reader of The Hindu actually had an article mocking it "while we were sleeping, did India actually win the WC?" And went on to complain that India conceded 325 so they were a **** team anyway! Celebration? What for? That's an Aussie birthright
