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

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.
-
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 .

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

Hits London (@HitsLondon) reported@Loopify Thought Natwest allowed £1k daily and £5k per month limit to crypto exchanges directly, I know thia doesn't help the op though.

Lou Gallie (@RehabLegendLou) reported@CBTwizard @Morrisons Apparently they have a 'glitch' with Natwest and the shopping app won't accept Natwest cards!! (Just rang customer services)

lokesh (@lokeshrathi3) reported@CAPiyushBh @CallMeSheri1_ @MohammadKaif He is remembered only for NatWest trophy final after that no back and support from Indian team..

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.

Sally Bell (@dipsiesmum) reported@NatWestBusiness How is anyone supposed to sell a business when the new owner has been “denied” access to the business accounts due to NatWest’s inability to sort out a bank mandate. Access was requested a fortnight ago.

Car Autotrader (@autotrader80497) reported@hullkrofficial Awful ticketing system just continuously redirects back to the initial basket page after approving in the NatWest app. Improve it.
