    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

    @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 .

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

    @HSBC_UK Just switched to you from Natwest today. None of my cards are working. Can't login to the app as you've not sent me a pin. How can I fix this yesterday because I need money to live. Thanks.

    @Moneybox @smflood Natwest closure of acct used for business is theft. Could charge for business use. Barring access could destroy business. The money isn't theirs but they behave as if it is. £500 totally inadequate compensation.

  • MaugeyGeoff Geoff Maugey (de Moley / Mullah) (@MaugeyGeoff) reported

    There is only two things worse than a stupid man one an ignorant man and second a stupid ignorant banker especially BNP paribas, lcl banque, NatWest, Citibank, axa bank. Stupid ignorant banks wankers there don't give a **** about the environment or humanity

  • cheif_lad Ben Rutherford (@cheif_lad) reported

    @BrewDog is there an issue with your UK website? Just ordered the advent calendar, immediate NatWest notification telling me the money has been taken from my account but a frozen BrewDog webpage and no confirmation email. Will I receive my product or get a refund?

  • MorrisJonathan Jonathan Morris (@MorrisJonathan) reported

    @Fasthosts @FHTechTeam To clarify: This issue has been apparent for well over 2 years but has recently started to become worse. There appears to be some sort of outbound filter which is not allowing a variety of random emails (including from Natwest, Local government and others) to be forwarded.

    @stevebullish What was your issue with NatWest?

  • ColinTheMathmo Colin Wright (@ColinTheMathmo) reported

    @elderpegasus @katebevan This has been available for many years, but banks are only recently implementing and enforcing it. NatWest does so as well, and I'm sure others are catching up. It's non-intrusive, and catches errors. Why were they so slow? Incompetence? Indifference? Nice that it's here now.
