  @rich_rdctd Sounds like a pretty good reason to tell Natwest to go **** themselves.

  @hullkrofficial Awful ticketing system just continuously redirects back to the initial basket page after approving in the NatWest app. Improve it.

  @robprogressive A couple of years ago I went to buy some BTC from Coinbase as I had done many times. Natwest declined my card several times so I called the bank and was told there was no problem and to wait and try again. This continued for 24hrs so I called them back and eventually they put me through to another office - after several conversations someone came on and send actually Natwest have blocked any purchases on crypto exchanges due to the risk of fraud - I went nuts, if this is bank policy then why did items so many calls to get this response - I can check a box confirming that I accept the fraud risk and send my life savings to a Nigerian Prince but cannot invest with a US stock listed company which I had done many times previously - the UK banking industry is absolutely terrified of BTC - they recently allowed some investment in BTC ETF's (not quite ETFs but similar) in reality it's virtually impossible to access these. If they do this with gold then that's another thing altogether - I live and work in Asia now and gold is a key pillar of investment as they never trust the government and banks as burnt so any times in the past

  @ukboomers 1983 and my long standing bank manager turned down my loan application. Went to house builder and put a £100 deposit on a 2 bed semi then he called NatWest and I got accepted that day. Six weeks later got the keys. Easy peasy

  Sure I'd pay a million dollars to listen to Chinua Achebe in person...but s a NatWest customer, I'd rather speak to a bland and boring but well spoken Caroline Mutoko than have Chinua Achebe on the other end of the line discussing my overdraft limit.

  @peterjukes This was literally 3 years ago, the article states the short position was held since the spring of 2023 before the announcement that coutts closed his account. If Farage got the letter in June 2023 but they were already shorting NatWest, then this will be a non-issue.

  Natwest Bank just dropped a banger. "Tomorrow begins today" they say. If you set up biometric approval in the mobile app or Voice ID for Telephone Banking, you gave them consent to use this data. As per their email: "From 20th May, Natwest will use ‘legitimate interests’ to process biometric data, instead of your consent. Legitimate interests is a term in Data Protection Law, which means we use your data only when necessary and where we have carefully balanced your rights in the public interest." Bear this in mind as you cannot update your details or send more than £750 without using their biometrics service. @freddienew @DecentraSuze
