  @AskNationwide This is exactly why I’ve now taken my 3 accounts to NatWest. Nationwide are so behind with the times with their procedures & systems. NatWest can usually fix everything online without having to call them. People don’t have time to call companies & wait on hold for ages anymore!

  @Londonist @DCBMEP “…began in 1971. ..nine years to realise.” (Working closely with Seiferts from 1975, as PQS for the now the Sea Containers Hotel, I was told that the delay in the NatWest Tower was as a result of a redesign for the tower footprint to match the new NatWest logo).

  UK stocks to watch — Fri 31 July Month-end, and a strong handover: FTSE futures +0.4% after Asia’s violent rebound — KOSPI up as much as 17%, Samsung and SK Hynix near +30%. NatWest — H1 results, the third big domestic bank in four days, and the pattern hasn’t been kind: Barclays was the FTSE’s biggest faller on its own results day Tuesday. NatWest arrives off a Q1 that delivered 18.2% return on tangible equity and £1.4bn attributable profit. What moves the stock won’t be the profit line — it’ll be margin guidance into a BoE that just showed three hawks. Taylor Wimpey — the most interesting setup on the board. Sell-side positioning is unusually hostile: Goldman cut it to a sell in May, and the broker split now runs 1 buy, 2 hold, 3 sell. It reports into a rate market that spent yesterday removing hike risk — September odds fell to 40% from above 50%. Low expectations plus a friendlier discount rate is how surprises happen. Watch the order book and margin guidance, not completions. ITV — H1 results. UK advertising is the cleanest read on domestic corporate confidence there is. Tech trusts — Scottish Mortgage, Polar Capital Tech. Microsoft and Amazon proving AI demand produced a 17% KOSPI day. The UK vehicles are the second-order beneficiary, and they’ve been sold hard for a fortnight. $EZJ — last session before Castlelake’s firm-offer deadline on Monday. Apollo’s follows on Friday. Whatever happens now happens fast. Oil majors — Exxon and Chevron report today, after Shell’s $9.8bn came largely from trading and refining rather than production. If the US majors show the same composition, that’s a sector-wide signal: the money in this crisis is in moving barrels, not owning them. The month that was: the FTSE 100 touched a record high this week. The KOSPI is down ~25% in July, its worst month since 1997. Same AI story, opposite ends — because London owns almost none of it. The index everyone calls old-fashioned just won a month by not owning the thing everyone wanted. Worth remembering next time that’s framed as a weakness.

  BoE warnings about stablecoin redemption are a joke. Try withdrawing any significant amount of cash from your bank and see how simple 'redemption' really is. Recently, UK bank NatWest blocked a customer from withdrawing their own money because they would not explain to the bank why the cash. And the Ombudsman backed the bank. This isn’t about consumer protection. It’s about protecting the banking monopoly. If Andrew Bailey is genuinely concerned about redemption risk, he should be looking at non-custodial systems like Ducat. Redemption happens in one Bitcoin block. I think I may be waiting some time.

  Friday 31 July — what’s moving The week ends with the cleanest illustration of the new rule anyone could ask for. Apple beat on almost everything. Revenue $109.4bn, +16%. iPhone $54.25bn, +22% — its best ever June quarter. EPS $2.02 against $1.89 expected. The stock fell after hours, on guidance. Amazon raised full-year capex to $220bn — a number that would have been punished a fortnight ago — and jumped ~8%, because AWS grew 36.7%, its fastest in over four years. Microsoft up, Meta down, Amazon up, Apple down. The market is neither rewarding AI spending nor punishing it. It’s grading proof. Note the casualty: for two weeks Apple was the hedge, capex at 1.8% of revenue making it the place to hide from spending anxiety. On the night the spenders got paid, abstaining stopped earning a premium. Asia took the same message and amplified it violently. The KOSPI rose as much as 17% — its best day on record. Samsung and SK Hynix up near 30%. Taiwan +7%, Nikkei +5%. Now the number that matters: the KOSPI is still down ~25% for July, its worst month since 1997. A 17% day inside that is not recovery. It’s a market with the leverage stripped out of it — Korean authorities spent the week reining in leveraged products that had wiped out retail savings. And the FX story is the week’s thesis in miniature. Japan and Korea intervened jointly on Thursday — unprecedented, with the yen near a 40-year low. Then the BoJ held rates on Friday and the yen went straight back to 160.69. Coordinated intervention by two states bought roughly one session. Nothing about the rate differential changed, so nothing about the yen did. Which rhymes with the central banks. The Fed’s statement was near-identical to June’s — one verb and three dissenters — and Warsh signalled a step back from forward guidance. The BoE held 3.75% on a 6-3 vote, three hawks where two were expected, then Bailey immediately told reporters not to read it as edging towards a hike. September hike odds fell to 40% from above 50%. The bond market’s answer: long-end US yields near 19-year highs while the short end eased. A steepener built on doubt that anyone can anchor inflation. In London: the FTSE 100 touched a record 10,979.60 intra-day then closed down 0.1%. Rolls-Royce led, +6%, on H1 operating profit up 17% to £2.42bn. Today: NatWest, Taylor Wimpey, ITV, plus Exxon and Chevron. FTSE futures +0.4%. This was the week guidance died. Warsh won’t give it. Bailey disowned his own committee’s. Two governments spent reserves defending currencies and got a day. And Apple’s forecast cost it more than a record quarter earned. Everyone is being marked on evidence now.

  As of 1st June I am going back to being solely self employed and will need a new business account as a Sole Trader. Given up with having a physical branch to go to as we literally only have a HSBC and a NatWest left in my town now 🙃 Have had both a Monzo and Lloyds LTD Company Business accounts before and have a Monzo personal account I quite like. I keep being told Revolut Business is really good now they have their banking license? Most of my payments will be made via BACs either way, only need access for myself and also needs to be able to link up to Xero. What Bank does everyone suggest to go with or even avoid?

My dog was safe that short period as it was with a female and her dog. IN THAT period I was in business courts Northampton on written using Supreme Court high seat colour and symbols on documents; more than 13 case numbers (while others thought I was in some kind of gym bet!

I recieved an email recent from NatWest claiming on the 1st of October 2026 to the October of 2025 that they can close an account if they choose fo no reason; Within these dates is Covid two credit ref agencies and three brokerage platforms Pre being procured into the comp house and dwp integration of proof and verifications. In all this period there is no social life, yet a lot of documents wrote and attachments in emails.
