    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

  • 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.

    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

    @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 .

  • 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.

    @loxleybottomsi I have a trust fund account there for my son. They're moving it to Natwest which doesn't have trust fund accounts! Also there's no counters in there anymore. Just a help person and some pay in machines. I'm back there on Thursday for round two to sort it out!

  • PaulWalsh3 Paul Walsh (@PaulWalsh3) reported

    @GaryHay54193354 @MatthewStadlen It was used to bailout Ulster Bank, a subsidiary of NatWest. I never claimed it would sink Brit banking, merely that Brits were acting in complete self interest- contrary to the garbage you implied. Btw, India will overtake UK in 5th shortly. And Californian economy is bigger.

    pls natwest i just wanna access my child trust fund im gonna actually snap

  • tonywestonuk Tony Weston (@tonywestonuk) reported

    @HenricCont @netbacker If bank credit could be transferred directly, there would be no need for central banks to get involved at all. They'd just press a button - eg, Natwest money would go down, HSBC money would go up.

  • back4the1stime james marshall (@back4the1stime) reported

    @santanderuk currently on holiday in Cuba and have been unable to access my online banking since last Thursday.... While my wife a NatWest customer can use their online service within 10 seconds? Currently on hold for 15mins to UK customer service @£2.50 per minute 👍🏾

    @NatWest_Help @hughgmeechan Then you need to get some advice from people who understand the issues. How do you support the right to male-free spaces for females at NatWest, to preserve their statutory right to dignity, privacy and safety?

    @Richard91929614 Wow… time to leave #natWest If people start moving accounts in masses this might help other banks rethink this policy if they are considering it.

  • leila24765781 leila (@leila24765781) reported

    @amazon @TruthFromAcme What’s going on at Amazon???? My bank has received nothing regarding my paying my monthly subscription!!!! I’ve researched is there a problem with you & natwest???? My account suspended for your incompetence to sort banking out!!!!

  • chrisdalton1977 Chris Dalton (@chrisdalton1977) reported

    @NatWest_Help @Captain_Nixon It’s not just NatWest it looks like it’s all banks - I had the same issue and just tried a Nationwide account and another also but all the same

  • ulucan_aysen Aysen Ulucan (@ulucan_aysen) reported

    Almost 48 hours since NatWest blocked my account without any warning or an explanation. Being abroad with two young children and being denied access to one's money is no fun. #natwest
