  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

  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

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

  @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 .

  @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.

  @SandyofSuffolk I remember the NatWest in Felixstowe...can't imagine why it ever closed down as it was busy all day long!

  @NatWest_Help NatWest couldn’t help their customers if they tried !! I left NatWest 19 years ago, seen an offer to bring my business back last month, reopened 3 accounts and guess what, same **** service I left with. Well unlucky… that’s a guaranteed half million you won’t get on your books!

  Just so all you little guys with the big accounts know, Man Utd ain’t losing today. And you can take that to NatWest/First Direct whatever bank you choose that offers a competitive interest rate on personal ISAs up to £20k limit per customer

  Cash machines and bank branches have been disappearing across Britain, even though many basic card and PIN problems still require an ATM or in-person banking service. UK regulators and LINK data show a sharp reduction in free-to-use ATMs and ongoing branch closures, while millions of people still rely on cash access. The debate over access to cash, digital banking, NatWest, HSBC, Lloyds and bank branch closures raises serious questions about who modern banking is actually designed for.

  @NatWest_Help hi folks. I’ve got a NatWest credit card. Interested in rooster for my kid. Do I qualify for the free rooster subscription as a NatWest customer even though it’s just credit card and not current account?

  @NatWest_Help i’ve now made three attempts to make a payment around £300. Each time I’m being asked to approve the transaction and when I go into my account there is nothing waiting to be approved. It really is a rubbish system with NatWest as I have no such issues with oth accts

  @CleansedTweets Yep had many do the same to me, I'm now left with NatWest, TSB and Metro (awful). Even the Internet banks like Wise, and Monzo and probably the best upon launch, Starling all folded, same reasons. NatWest has been most crypto friendly, bar selling crypto back to card, that requires TSB. I've even be banned for sending money to Wise, on suspicion of buying crypto with the money, £50 probably, while that was the intent, how would they have known?

  This #NatWest "family backed mortgage" doesn't do anything to help underprivileged people at all, just gives people with potentially hefty inheritances another option to buy a house they are probably likely to get anyway...let's not pretend this is great for the average Joe.

  Anyone had a problem with opening a NatWest business account? I've been waiting a month!! No one answers the phone, I've been waiting for 40minutes this morning, no one answered. Online you get Bots. Fed up!

  @LairdSummerisle God knows there was some **** allowed in the City from the 70s on (eg Natwest Tower) but Canary wharf was developed from 1988 and we mostly contained the office development out there - what happened in the 00s to allow this plethora of ugly monstrosities to overwhelm the City?
