    @grantfeller Yet a customer in natwest locally in 2019 was asked what she wanted £5000 for she had to fill in a form, it was for a new kitchen, I was in the queue waiting to be served, it was her money .

    I will talk about failings by institutions like @Natwest not issuing him any investigation. He’s a vulnerable adult there must be a duty of care or support

    Just remembered seeing that NatWest at St Philips Place and Temple Row is now closed down. Halifax on Colmore Row might be going too.

    It's got to the point with #Natwest that I no longer feel comfortable using them for practical reasons. They are so over-protective, I honestly often worry I am unable to access my own money in a difficult situation.. The number of times I've had to phone them up..

    Hey @RBSBusiness on 18 Nov I was told over the phone that I’d be sent a statement through the post in 12 days. There’s no branch in my town now. NatWest cannot help me with what I need, I’ve been to their branch several times this year. Which is awkward because (1/2)

    NatWest fined £264 million after being found guilty of money laundering ...yet were told Bitcoin is the problem.

  • ADMarsden ADM (@ADMarsden) reported

    @NatWest_Help #natwest does not respond to messages on its own secure, online chat. Just another bank with poor customer service. Same old, same old. I need to switch. Any recommendations?

    @JP_Biz No excuse in 2012 - all risks were known. This quote says everything: 'One rule designed to flag suspicious activity was disabled by NatWest because it created too many alerts, "so the bank decided it should be deactivated"' Too many alerts could also mean you got problems

  • ShahrzadAm Shahrzad Amoli (@ShahrzadAm) reported

    @NatWest_Help again case of 'hidden' fees. Don't know who you're accountable to. Your website clearly says NO foreign transaction fees for Natwest credit card. Says nothing about all charges I'm paying for 'currency exchange fees'. Your info is misleading, inaccurate & dishonest

    So what are they not telling us with this UAE vs AirPeace vs Nigeria? Is AirPeace now our unofficial National carrier? If say..... GTbank was having issues with NatWest, would CBN get involved?

    Natwest incapable of answering the phone today! What a lousy service!
