  • 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.

  • Martyn210 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 .

    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

  • 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.

    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

    @MrsLesleyKemp @HSBC_UK Truly Dreadful bank. We opened a/c with them at the recruitment agency I used to work for so obviously a large account but their customer service was diabolical. We moved to NatWest only 6 weeks after opening the hsbc account and never looked back

  • PatelClair Clair Patel (@PatelClair) reported

    @GooglePlay emptied ny Bank account left me without money even to get kids home from swimming where I already am and @natwest also unable to help . Both wanna resolve in a few working days if I'm even lucky enough to get it back. Absolutely shocking from both companies .

  • streets_unruly 🤯 (@streets_unruly) reported

    @NatWest_Help Unable to log in to new bank account, but received an email from natwest saying i need to log in to view a new mail i received about my account?

  • MartinCollinsx Martin Collins (@MartinCollinsx) reported

    @NatWest_Help My son, who is a student, has been trying to draw down some, of HIS money, to pay off a car debt. You guys are making him jump through so many hoops and feeding him the wrong information. Shame on you #NatWest

  • CCClose73 Closey73 (@CCClose73) reported

    @smoggyontour86 I had problem getting tickets with Lloyd's dc and a mbna cc. My mate bought my ticket online with a natwest dc if that helps.

  • Jimbyrnemusic Jim Byrne (@Jimbyrnemusic) reported

    RBS / NatWest Holdings Inc. are by far the worst bank, worst customer support, worst everything bank. Useless. Just spent 30/40 minutes on the phone and was transferred to 4 different people (and a wait between each) all the wrong people. Gave up. I need to move bank. #RBSrShit

  • cpfc_Rob Robert 🦅 (@cpfc_Rob) reported

    @Alitheeagle1 using barclays? cos they dont seem to work. i tried 3 barclays cards and they all had the same issue, tried my sisters natwest and it went straight through

  • sammygare samantha gare (@sammygare) reported

    @NatWest_Help re my probate issue. Again @VirginMoney paid out on the same upload within three days. In a world of fintech, when you don’t have to bank with NatWest, why the hell would you. Bereavement portal doesn’t even function at a time when their customers are suffering loss

  • Chizzyx Charles Stevens (@Chizzyx) reported

    @NatWest_Help Or you could spend time trying to complete NatWest business profile online that doesn’t work, they don’t return calls, and then threaten to shut down your business when their system fails. Start with the basics like looking after your customers.

  • na_golo Kisubi-summer (@na_golo) reported
