  Going around in circles, neither @NatWest_Help nor @pandocruises are helping! Natwest have said P&O can't take the money and it bounces back and P&O say they don't have an issue with the payments system. 🙈 Do you want the money or not???

  Not having the best of luck with NatWest this week. Just sat down to write a cheque, only to realise they’ve spelled my name with three As in my new chequebook. I’ve always thought the legitimate two was excessive!

  @org_scp @HHelenakhl @NatWest_Help In conversation with someone in NatWest HO early 2021 after the loss of my mother, re misinformation about a local branch & services I was told that all branches would close & everyone at HO was aware hence service reductions. Someone on twitter called me a liar.

  🚨 $QNT holders, seven major UK banks are testing programmable bank money on infrastructure provided by Quant. Read those names again: Barclays. HSBC. Lloyds Banking Group. NatWest. Santander. Monzo. Nationwide. Led by UK Finance, the Great British Tokenised Deposit initiative is delivering live pilot transactions involving digital versions of normal sterling bank deposits. The easiest way to understand it is this: Your money remains bank money. But instead of sending it blindly and trusting every person in the process, rules can be attached before it moves. Payment releases when the buyer receives the product. Mortgage funds transfer when every document and condition is ready. Money and a tokenised asset settle together, so neither participant is left waiting and exposed. Quant’s Overledger provides the orchestration and interoperability connecting participating banks with RTGS, Faster Payments, Open Banking and tokenised-deposit platforms. That is why this matters more than another blockchain demonstration. The institutions are testing real financial activity across multiple banks, with fraud protection, settlement efficiency and programmability at the centre. GBTD also follows Quant’s involvement in the UK Regulated Liability Network, while its acceptance into the Bank of England Synchronisation Lab places the project beside the UK’s work on atomic central-bank-money settlement. Does this guarantee every bank will buy QNT? No. But it gives Quant institutional validation that most interoperability projects spend years trying to earn. If GBTD succeeds, the opportunity will extend far beyond one UK pilot. Other countries are also exploring tokenised deposits, digital securities and connected payment systems. QNT is sitting behind infrastructure the largest banks will need to make those separate systems work together. Many people will study QNT after adoption becomes obvious. I would rather understand why seven banks selected Quant before everyone else notices. My conviction in $QNT came before the headlines. Now the adoption is becoming impossible to ignore.

  @NatWest_Help Not again. The NatWest app still can’t scan my HMRC cheque. I complained about this previously and was told it would be fixed. Another cheque, same problem. How is this still not resolved? I’m tired of raising complaints.

  @NatWest_Help my son is in America trying to use his NatWest card but you keep declining payments. Your app says you don’t need to tell you if abroad and your useless chatbot is no help. The “emergency” number is just an endless Voice menu with no option to speak to someone! 🤬

  Call yet again, to cut welfare when 14 million people are in poverty There was £40.5bn paid out in bonuses between May 2013 and April 2014 'NatWest, Barclays, Lloyds and Santander received more than £9 billion in interest on Bank of England reserves in 2023 – a 135% increase on the previous year' This is taxpayer's money At the same time welfare was cut by billions, and we were blamed for economic problems UK #disabilitybenefits #Burnham

  @CallMeMoNow That's such a shame. We had some very valuable advice from a neighbour who worked in the bereavement part of NatWest when Tony was doing his aged relatives' probate. Like everything else it's all gone to ****

  @Weirdgripping84 159 gave him a good run but Natwest **** show should have been the end of him. The fact that Laxman also kept failing in 2002 is what helped pip it in Mongia’s favor coz he bowled.

  @MartinSLewis @DrFionaCares I am leaving NatWest after 40 yrs because my nearest branch is now over 7 miles away, there are no cash points & they can’t explain why my second set of 2 debit cards refuse to work in card machines. And don’t get me started on bloody Cora… Customer service is dead.

  10 years. 50M+ users. £11M+ revenue impact. Citibank. Mercedes. Sky. Virgin Media. NatWest. I spent a decade fixing conversion problems at companies most startups would kill to work with. what I learned: the same broken patterns show up everywhere - onboarding that loses people in the first 60 seconds, pricing pages that confuse instead of convert, signup flows with friction nobody ever fixed. now I build the same systems for funded startups.
