  @johntierney73 @NnatMmac @NatWest I worked in fraud for a bank. It is possible. You gave your pin to someone or set it to something they could work out, and they had your card. There are other ways like they had access to your Internet banking which told them your pin but that’s less likely due to 2FA.

  @JonnyLavn @ScotlandSky Have a wee read of the crown prosecution service website. Also stops you looking like a right ******* idiot on here Copernicus. Alternatively speak with natwest a company which was famously criminally prosecuted recently. Want it in words of one syllable or less next?

  @isabelrosesss This is the NatWest/old RBS digital banking login. It is designed to use multiple authentication methods but they've just stuck with partial date of birth id/partial passcode for the last 18 years or so! It could use the EMV card reader, but that'd just confuse customers.

  Quantum readiness programs feel like progress. They aren't. NatWest and 10 others joined NQCC's QTAP cohort 3, awareness, not migration. Different problems. QuanChain's oracle-triggered key rotation solves the second in under 90 days, no protocol vote. Should regulators require migration proof, not just program enrollment, before 2028?

  Hi NatWest,@NatWest_Help My Ebix Cash Forex Card has been retained by an ATM at Tesco, 825 High Road, Leyton, London, E10 7AA. The card got stuck during a transaction and I was unable to retrieve it. Could you please advise me on the next steps and help me recover the card as soon as possible? Please let me know if you need any additional details from me. Thank you for your assistance. Kind regards,

  I’ve contacted via email, dm and many phone calls. Each member of staff passes you onto another and lies. It’s clear why NatWest branches are closing down.

  @Sargon_of_Akkad Probably an attack against sly news for harassing his family. Farage doesn't back down from a fight. Look at NatWest scandal he got the CEO fired! Watch what happens...

  @Bankersbonus1 @ADavies61517 @afneil During the 2008 financial crisis, the UK government stepped in to rescue major banks including Royal Bank of Scotland, Lloyds Banking Group, Northern Rock and Bradford & Bingley. The state directly spent around £137 billion in capital injections and emergency support, while offering over £1 trillion in guarantees to stop the banking system collapsing. Most of the money was eventually recovered, but taxpayers are still estimated to have lost around £30–35 billion overall, with the biggest losses coming from the RBS/NatWest bailout. Worth remembering the next time someone says the banks “were fine”.
