  @NatWest_Help just updated to iOS 14.6, the NatWest app no longer allows log in, still works on 14.5, so needs to be looked at by the app developers. Have done all the usual delete and reinstall etc.

  @RealTranswoman @NatWest_Help As long as it takes, our options to try beta software, not NatWest’s issue.

  @NatWest_Help So because the NatWest app now effectively doesn’t support paying in cheques I paid in a cheque at the post office. I didn’t realise that all this means in practice is putting it in an envelope and praying. Of course it hasn’t arrived in my account

  @robertmdaws Early 80s NatWest Leeds Sunday League team wore the yellow away kit. Awful scratchy polyester thing.

  @NatWest_Help for 18 months we had a QR code for payments attached to our NatWest Business Account + on lots of our printed media. We are a volunteer run Town Carnival. This week QR code became invalid. Cue runaround from Cora + PayIT not wanting to help pushing to other!

  @SayNo2SizewellC What do you believe you know that the planning authorities, Natwest and Bpifrance Assurance Export (the insurers/underwriters) do not? And secondly, do you not see the irony of opposing a clean energy project, the success of which help prevent sea level rise?

  UK Mortgage Rates Surge as Middle East Conflict Sparks Inflation Fears UK mortgage rates have reversed weeks of decline as lenders respond to escalating conflict in the Middle East, with HSBC, Nationwide, Virgin Money, NatWest and Coventry Building Society announcing increases of up to 0.25% across fixed-rate products. The repricing marks an abrupt shift in a market that had been steadily improving since late 2025. According to Mortgage Solutions, the average two-year fixed rate residential mortgage has climbed from 4.32% to 4.82% as of 4 March, while the five-year fix rose from 4.94% to 4.96%. The catalyst: soaring oil and gas prices following US and Israeli strikes on Iran that sent energy markets into turmoil. The two-year swap rate rose from 3.33% on 27 February to 3.65% by 6 March, while the five-year swap rate climbed from 3.5% to 3.8%, according to Moneyfacts. Swap rates — the benchmarks lenders use to price fixed mortgages — move in tandem with market expectations for Bank of England policy. In late February, traders had fully priced in two Bank of England rate cuts by the end of 2026, but by 3 March, the chance of two rate cuts had been completely wiped out, according to the HomeOwners Alliance. The shift reflects a brutal recalculation of inflation risk. Since the first US strikes on Iran on Saturday, energy prices have soared, with the oil price increasing to 84$/barrel (Brent Crude) and UK gas prices to 139p/therm (up 15% and 78% respectively since the weekend), NIESR reported. Iran has disrupted shipping through the Strait of Hormuz — a narrow waterway through which a fifth of all global oil flows, according to Al Jazeera. The UK remains heavily dependent on gas for heating and electricity generation. For UK households, wholesale gas prices matter because they are a key driver of domestic energy bills, meaning a prolonged spike could push up costs in the months ahead. UK inflation stood at 3.4% in December 2025, already above the Bank of England's 2% target.

  @NatWest_Help please can someone contact me as I have been unable to book a holiday with Jet2 due to “PSD2 SCA issue” the NatWest adviser suggests I have to speak to Jet 2 to resolve and I find it hard to believe that a major bank and a major holiday company cannot interoperate

  @NatWest_Help Hi - been trying to make a payment to HMRC via their app. In app, it directs to NatWest app for payment approval. For last few days, can log in to NatWest app when directed, but page to approve payment is just blank. I've used this way to pay in the past with no 1/2
