    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.

  • 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

  • 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 .

    @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

    @MabelYorkshire That’s awful…what do you do? Scan and deposit electronically….? I haven’t had a cheque book since I got fed up with and switched from NatWest to Santander!

    @NatWest_Help Cancelled my Sainsburys credit card because I didn't want to be a customer of NatWest, now getting texts and emails from NatWest saying "your credit card is now with NatWest". Is this fraud, or incompetence?

  • paulstevenlewis Paul Lewis (@paulstevenlewis) reported

    @Sainsburys_Bank trying to download several credit card statements before you move to NatWest and all old statements are lost. I have been trying all day but statements will not load. I get to my list of statements but individual statements will not load. Please help!

  • mike_gbr18 Mike (@mike_gbr18) reported

    @userds5050 @KelvinEHughes @ZiaYusufUK Or these customers might ve been fraudsters themselves? As NatWest and others shut down accounts with no explanation which is ok for uk customers I suppose… no issues with banking licenses…

  • KiaRoussos Kia Roussos (@KiaRoussos) reported

    @NatWest_Help I’m really frustrated with the service provided from NatWest. I raised a dispute months ago and have felt ignored and unsupported. I’ve had to chase NatWest many times for an update and still haven’t received a resolution. This is not acceptable from my bank.

  • GhostNoFace0101 100 (@GhostNoFace0101) reported

    @NatWest_Help still no update from this terrible bank spoke to a guy total from NatWest tried to tell him my issue and he start talking over me and then when I tell him about it he repeatedly started saying calm down mate sarcastic remarks how is this bank still open

  • XXLDXXT LDX (@XXLDXXT) reported

    @NatWest_Help I have not received a letter or email with details/activation codes as part of the switch from Sainsbury’s to NatWest. Are you able to help?

  • vickktoriax Victoria (@vickktoriax) reported

    @FATPEANUT2017 @MetroBank_Help Can I recommend switching NatWest... They don't **** up to this extent and refuse to communicate or explain.
