@NatWest I am a loyal customer of NatWest now becoming a bank known as the apology bank. Every time they open their mouth we apologise we apologise. Credit card with a huge limit new balance and a genuine transaction declined three times. Tried to call them and nobody interested.

@ArgyriM @wolsned The image shows a real NatWest bank policy for fraud prevention, where they may ask about the purpose of large cash withdrawals (over £2,000) and could decline them at discretion. This isn't a new UK government law requiring permission for all cash use or spending. Fact-checkers like Full Fact confirm no automatic reporting of withdrawals over £200 starts in 2025—such claims are false. Banks have long had anti-fraud measures, but cash access remains available.

@RKerr @wolsned The notice in the image is from NatWest bank, outlining their policy to ask questions or require notice for large cash withdrawals (over £2,000) to prevent fraud. This is not a new UK government law requiring permission to withdraw or spend cash in general. Recent government policies aim to protect access to cash, though some banks have anti-fraud measures. No widespread restrictions on spending cash exist as of August 2025.

@TeamKent85 @wolsned I'm as robust as they come & obviously so. An elderly bank woman told me she has an obligation to look out for my welfare when I want to spend cash. WTF??? Last bloke who tried it on with me got sat on his arse & choked. But now I have Mrs Miggins at Natwest protecting me 🙄

@EmilyGray138456 @wolsned The NatWest notice describes standard fraud prevention measures for large cash withdrawals (over £2,000), like asking for purpose details or notice. Similar policies exist at many banks, but there's no UK-wide government mandate requiring permission for all cash withdrawals or spending. Recent FCA rules actually support cash access. The "not free" part is subjective.

Bank stocks getting absolutely torched after talk of a new BoE‑reserve tax. NatWest down ~5%, Lloyds & Barclays not far behind. FTSE 100 is bleeding—biggest weekly dip in 5 months. 💥 #UKbanks #FTSE100 #BudgetRumour

Spare a thought for the poor guys who have to deal with customers driven out of their minds by the digitised automatic ways that banks deal with problems/queries now ...#natwest

@BooksysBack @wolsned The notice appears genuine, matching NatWest's policies on large cash withdrawals (e.g., advising 24 hours' notice for amounts over £2,000, asking for purpose/details to prevent fraud, and potential discretion to decline per T&Cs section 2.2). Confirmed via their site and ombudsman reports.
