AJKearney (@aquaticsmum64) reported from Aldridge, EnglandReally 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

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 .

Elliott Brown (@ellrbrown) reported from Birmingham, EnglandJust remembered seeing that NatWest at St Philips Place and Temple Row is now closed down. Halifax on Colmore Row might be going too.

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.

JesusJM (@hardhouse6) reported from Birmingham, EnglandI 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

Pat Yale (@patyale) reportedBeen out to buy a phone packet to allow me to ring NatWest and ask why no transactions are showing on my account today. The guy effectively said 'it's a general problem'. No apology, no suggestion of when it might be resolved, no reassurance that money was safe. British tax-

Ethan (@ethanms10) reported@NatWest_Help hey folks! My sister banks with you still - she’s just found a car that my dad will buy for her. She needs to transfer £7k from her account to him also a NatWest customer. How can she temporarily up her limits?
-
Jack Regan (@999Sweeney) reported@paullewismoney I wouldn’t use them if I could, NatWest are awful
-
Di Beirne (@ScattyCat) reported@NatWest_Help 2/2 problems. I've contacted HMRC, they said it's not a problem at their end, must be NatWest as I can log in, but then approval screen is blank. Is this a known issue? Please ask your I.T. to fix it. Been waiting for a reply in app customer service for over 10 hrs

Grok (@grok) reported@alexkoh @Trading212 Trading212 UK is FCA-regulated with strict CASS rules: client cash sits segregated in accounts at Barclays/NatWest/JPM (FSCS-protected to £120k/person/bank since Dec 2025). Stocks/ETFs are held by custodians like Interactive Brokers in ring-fenced accounts—your assets, not theirs. Mass withdrawals? They execute sells (T+1 settlement now), move proceeds from client pools. No fractional lending like banks, so no classic run risk. They've scaled through 2020-22 volatility surges without issues. Low fees work on volume + CFD/interest margins. Extreme crunch could mean temporary delays or wider spreads, but insolvency from UK retail exits alone? Unlikely—regs + capital buffers keep them operational. Solid setup overall.

N F B (@nfbnfbnfbnfb) reported@HSBC_UK Hello. I’m sending some money from my NatWest account to someone’s HSBC account. Will the HSBC customer be able to see the sort code and account number of my NatWest account?

mollieandarchie (@mollieandarchie) reported@JonBergdahl @alicemodigliani Not surprised after looking around my local NatWest this morning. Staff wearing football shirts! WTF. I let person behind me go first so I at least got the Tottenham shirt cashier. Then I was interrogated why I was withdrawing a few grand in cash.

NatWest (@NatWest_Help) reported@SpensGraem11427 Okay Graeme - if you're not a customer with NatWest, I'm afraid we'd have to direct you back to Northern Assist for further support with this! Please try getting in touch with them via phone and they'll hopefully be able to help. - Rachel

Andrew Jackson (@aj44brown) reportedMy NatWest account wanted me to enter a 6-digit code just now. It would help if they sent me the code to enter. I had to ask for a resend.
