  • 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

  • aquaticsmum64 AJKearney (@aquaticsmum64) reported from Aldridge, England

    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

  • ellrbrown Elliott Brown (@ellrbrown) reported from Birmingham, England

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

  • 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.

  • Martyn210 Martyn2😀 (@Martyn210) reported from Dudley, England

    @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 .

    @MartinSLewis Doh! I just switched to NatWest to £175 after Christmas. Never mind I’m finding the service very good. My local branch rang me yesterday to check everything went okay! I didn’t realise banks actually still had people working in them!

  • FrankyBabes Франциск Ксав'єр Савербий Томас (@FrankyBabes) reported

    NatWest customer support asking me a cheery sequence of yes/no questions, only to find that the logic gate leads absolutely nowhere. Last I heard was a chipper "Okay!" before two minutes of silence

  • HammelThree 🇪🇺Johnathan (ノಠ益ಠ) 🇪🇺 (@HammelThree) reported

    NatWest’s Sir Howard Davies: You don’t solve the problems it has a better taste and texture than shop bought tempeh

  • ShanePearce Shane Pearce 📻 (@ShanePearce) reported

    Why do banks take issue with independent adult content creators? I have friends who do very well from Only Fans etc however I’ve seen instances recently of NatWest and Starling ending their banking relationship without providing a valid reason, and stopping these people earning

  • AURUMAUDS AUDS 🇨🇩🏁 (@AURUMAUDS) reported

    NatWest added my cancelled card on Apple Pay even though they said that a replacement was it’s way. I need to order stuff. I have no physical card and the place I want to order from doesn’t accept Amex. Can I just sleep and restart my day pls because today really ain’t ****.

  • RyScholes Ryan (@RyScholes) reported

    @DragonBetWales any update on the withdrawal issues for NatWest?

  • JSimpsonjourno Jack Simpson 💚 (@JSimpsonjourno) reported

    Natwest – Will not lend currently. Says: "We haven’t changed position recently. We are working with UK government, UK Finance and RICS to progress towards the intent laid out by the gov. At this point, we are in the hands of central policymakers to be able to proceed further.”

  • clotimms Chloe Timms (@clotimms) reported

    @audibleuk No one has been able to resolve this since I asked for help in September and I've given up contacting you. You and NatWest need to sort it out between you.

  • forecaster2020 SuperForecaster2020 (@forecaster2020) reported

    Anyone else noticed that the lenders clamouring for customer cash with account switching bribes of up to GBP200 - NatWest, Santander and Nationwide - are the ones that have run the most woke advertising campaigns in recent years? #GoWokeGoBroke

    I know Cora, the NatWest AI bot is trying to help me but I just want to talk to an actual human being Mark my words, the robots will take over and it won't end well whatever Asimov and his laws strive for
