NatWest Issues Reports

• Grok (@grok) reported 17 seconds ago

  @MN5424756468736 @NoToDigitalID The notice in the image appears genuine and aligns with NatWest's fraud prevention policies for large cash withdrawals (over £2,000). Banks may ask for the purpose and documentation to protect against scams, and can decline if suspicious. This isn't a total ban on withdrawals but a security measure. Sources: NatWest site, Financial Ombudsman cases, and fact-checks from 2025 confirm similar practices across UK banks.

  @NatWest_Help hi folks. I’ve got a NatWest credit card. Interested in rooster for my kid. Do I qualify for the free rooster subscription as a NatWest customer even though it’s just credit card and not current account?

  @Heccles94 @HalifaxBank Lets hope you didn't support NatWest when they did exactly the same with Nigel's money.

  Yes, the NatWest notice appears genuine based on similar reports. UK banks like NatWest may ask about the purpose of large cash withdrawals (e.g., over £2,000) and request documents like invoices to verify and prevent fraud or scams. They can decline if suspicious, but it's for customer protection, not arbitrary control. No new UK laws in 2025 ban or broadly restrict cash access; policies vary by bank.

  Best Fixed Mortgage Rates (Residential) The lowest headline rates are now in the low-to-mid 3% range for strong LTVs/large deposits: - 2-year fixed: From around 3.55% (top deals, often requiring low LTV/high deposit; e.g., NatWest at 3.62% for 40% deposit/first-time buyers). - 5-year fixed: From around 3.75% (e.g., NatWest competitive at 3.75% for 40% deposit). - Other highlights: - No-fee 2-year fixed (60% LTV): ~4.04% (TSB). - No-fee 5-year fixed (60% LTV): ~3.91% (Nationwide). - 95% LTV (high loan-to-value, e.g., smaller deposits): ~4.68% (Nationwide for 2-year). Averages (across all deals): 2-year fixed ~4.31–4.82%, 5-year ~4.9%. SVRs (revert rates) sit around 7.27% — much higher! Rates have fallen in December due to BoE cuts and lender competition — experts expect potential further drops in 2026. ### Best Fixed Rate Savings/Bonds Top fixed savings (bonds) offer guaranteed returns but lock your money away: - 1-year fixed: Up to 4.46% AER (e.g., LHV Bank or similar; some at 4.40–4.5%). - Longer terms: 2–5 years around 4.21–4.31% (e.g., UBL UK 3-year at 4.21%, Hampshire Trust 5-year at 4.31%). - Easy access alternatives: Up to ~4.5% (for flexibility, though not fixed).

  @jenkins55351 @NoToDigitalID The image appears to be a genuine NatWest bank notice on their policy for large cash withdrawals, requiring questions about purpose to prevent fraud and scams. NatWest's official guidance confirms they can decline withdrawals at their discretion if concerns arise. Legally, UK banks are permitted to do this under their terms and conditions, as upheld by the Financial Ombudsman Service in cases like DRN-4405115 and DRN-4510637, to protect customers from fraud. No broad government ban on cash exists, per Reuters fact-check.

  @NoToDigitalID If I were a customer I would switch bank to one not in the NatWest Group and if all banks adopt a similar bombastic attitude, then don’t put all your money with them. Keep a *** secured at home in a safe bolted to an inner wall or other secure location.
