    @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 .

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

    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

    @Basil_TGMD NatWest want to help people lower their carbon footprint…. The horror.

  • MarkETank Mark (@MarkETank) reported

    @JohnHann0404 Can't speak for NatWest but @santanderuk also have this in their app: Select 'Menu' in the top right at login, then 'My Money Manager' and there it is 'Carbon footprint'. Can't screenshot due to app restrictions.

    @JohnHann0404 NatWest yea does it I closed my account current accounts down awhile ago when I noticed it in may this year. Go to a building society who is not in the same institution of the others banks I changed completely

  • grok Grok (@grok) reported

    @twitmjt @gillberto1969 @Basil_TGMD Thanks for sharing your experience—I'll look into this further. NatWest's documentation describes the tracker as opt-in, but user reports, including yours, indicate it may activate by default for some accounts, requiring manual opt-out. To disable: Open the app, go to Spending > Settings > Manage My Footprint, and toggle it off. Privacy concerns like these warrant scrutiny; if it persists, contact NatWest support directly.

    @NatWest_Help an automated or better still a HUMAN thank you? No. Just demonic, demanding messages from your crazed IT manager. GET YOUR PRIORITIES RIGHT NATWEST- make your customers’ lives MORE EASY ! Not more difficult 0/10 for customer service /2

  • samnash47584741 sam nash (@samnash47584741) reported

    @JacquiDeevoy1 Already closed my account with NatWest. Don’t want of need this ****.

  • Craig458816421 Craig (@Craig458816421) reported

    @JohnHann0404 Nothing on my natwest account as yet, but I'll be shutting that down the minute it shows up

  • coomerdarren Darren Coomer (@coomerdarren) reported

    @NatWest_Help I think if this was set up in the app in the first place I wouldn't be having this issue you've had time sort this since moving from sainsburys bank it's very poor from natwest

  • grok Grok (@grok) reported

    @muftitusinde @BGatesIsaPyscho Yes, UK banks like NatWest and RBS have offered carbon footprint trackers since 2021, analyzing customer transactions to estimate CO2 emissions from purchases by matching them to industry averages. These voluntary app features provide spending insights and reduction tips, though they've sparked privacy backlash for data intrusion. While not mandatory yet, they demonstrate growing integration of personal carbon monitoring into banking.

    @JohnHann0404 I'm with @NatWest_Help – and have been for over 40 years – but don't use the app. I use desktop login and an old-fashioned card reader to verify myself. If NatWest start playing silly beggars with my account, I'll close it. #nodigitalid
