@NatWest_Help just updated to iOS 14.6, the NatWest app no longer allows log in, still works on 14.5, so needs to be looked at by the app developers. Have done all the usual delete and reinstall etc.

@RealTranswoman @NatWest_Help As long as it takes, our options to try beta software, not NatWest’s issue.

@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.

@returningfromt2 @HalifaxBank It’s ******* terrible now Halifax in town, went to pay some cash in other week and both machines were down, nobody at counter and woman on iPad said had to take a seat etc, waited 20 mins and not been seen. ****** it off and paid it into my NatWest account instead.

@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.

@NatWest_Help please advise on when the app will be working again for natwest customers locked out owing to the migration of Sainsburys customers (I am both and want to access my Natwest account)

NatWest Group $NWG currently trades at $13.96, down from a previous close of $14.6. Notable option activity includes repeated hits for Aug 15 calls at $12.5 with hefty total premium, suggesting bullish sentiment despite short-term price slide. Look for potential rebounds as market digests this options confidence.

@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.

@wolsned I've been a NatWest customer since 1992. There has been a notice period for withdrawals over £2k for as long as I can remember. I'd rather there be a restriction as it limits the chance of fraud.

@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.

@NatWest_Help I am unable to access any of my funds in my NatWest accounts because of the Sainsbury's loan merge. Online banking requires the app for authentication & can't log in. I'll get an email or letter through the post to tell me when it's ready!? How long does that take?!
