    @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 .

  • hardhouse6 JesusJM (@hardhouse6) reported from Birmingham, England

    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

  • ChadwickCheri Mrs Spoon (@ChadwickCheri) reported from Swindon, England

    @TeresaTinsel @LloydsBank It’s really annoying when things like this happen. I often find it’s a branch problem. I had an issue with Natwest. One branch couldn’t do something for me, yet another could. So infuriating.

    Really disappointing that @NatWest_Help use a web chat service for nok to report a bereavement. Totally impersonal at such a difficult time. So glad I don’t actually bank with you 🥲 #NatWest #Bereavement

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

    @TipandTap1 @BcEnglishman @MarkHeath45 The government does have reserve powers to freeze bank accounts. NatWest froze Nigel Farage’ account and denied him access to all his private funds - just one example. If authorities suspect that the account is being used for criminal activity they will freeze it.

    As a result of # NatWest # Accor @STN_Airport Can anyone explain why all of these companies love our business, but don’t take any responsibility when things go wrong? I’ve been a NatWest customer forever, but now, because of their crap insurers I will be changing my banking

  • nothowyouhoped beccie 🪩 (@nothowyouhoped) reported

    @LUKEHU9HES Because my mum didn’t know what bank it was with and the adress attached to it we don’t live in anymore NatWest themselves had to hunt me down

  • shadowjazzy1 JazzyShadow (@shadowjazzy1) reported

    @IanCole18671 @ariaisquitecool @JonathanBrash Brown was responsible for the British part of the financial crisis by allowing RBS (his chum Fred the Shred) to buy NatWest RBS took both banks down by their irresponsible trading despite NatWest traders warning them in 2005/6 what would happen. Fred sacked the NW traders instead

  • kathj111 Kathjordan (@kathj111) reported

    @NatWest_Help my Sainsbury’s credit card was declined for my Sainsbury’s order this morning and no one can help until 7th October? I’ve called #sainsburys and NatWest this am. I thought it was supposed to be a seamless transfer?

  • djmattcat Matt Cat (@djmattcat) reported

    Loyal customer of @NatWest for 30 years, got into a bit of a mess, paying out over £800 pm on debts! Ask Natwest for a loan to clear all my debts and halve my monthly outgoings to which they say ' we can't give you a loan right now as we don't think you can afford the repayments!

  • itsRayPickens Ray Pickens (@itsRayPickens) reported

    @peterliamjones @danhind What about when your banking, utilities, phone, insurance, social media, HMRC, medical records, eBay, Vinted, etc accounts are all linked? Like Farage with NatWest - you say or do something they don’t like, they’ll block you, or HMRC feel you owe them money and just dip right in.

  • InspGadget 👻 Elliott Ainley 👻 (@InspGadget) reported

    @MartinSLewis I find it most odd that banks are all for online banking & have apps, closed branches, yet none have a dedicated email address for complaints? I have an issue with NatWest's bereavement team withholding my late mother's money.

    🚨 Quant has been chosen to build the UK’s tokenised sterling deposit (GBTD) payments infrastructure, working with UK Finance and top banks (Lloyds, Barclays, HSBC, NatWest, Santander, Nationwide). Huge step for blockchain adoption in TradFi. $BTC
