  BoE warnings about stablecoin redemption are a joke. Try withdrawing any significant amount of cash from your bank and see how simple 'redemption' really is. Recently, UK bank NatWest blocked a customer from withdrawing their own money because they would not explain to the bank why the cash. And the Ombudsman backed the bank. This isn’t about consumer protection. It’s about protecting the banking monopoly. If Andrew Bailey is genuinely concerned about redemption risk, he should be looking at non-custodial systems like Ducat. Redemption happens in one Bitcoin block. I think I may be waiting some time.

  @thetimepls @deirdrecostigan It’s a shame the conversation turns toward blaming communities, rather than focusing on how service reductions by NatWest impact places like Southall.

  @HillingdonPosh I worked and played for Natwest for many years. Originally had 2 sports grounds. One in Norbury and the one that is now the Palace Academy site (which some people refer to as being Sydenham as it is just around corner from Lower Sydenham train station).

  I was in a union at NatWest and honestly they seemed more interested in protecting the company relationship than representing ordinary staff. So spare me the lecture that unions automatically speak for all working people.

  @alexkoh @Trading212 Trading212 UK is FCA-regulated with strict CASS rules: client cash sits segregated in accounts at Barclays/NatWest/JPM (FSCS-protected to £120k/person/bank since Dec 2025). Stocks/ETFs are held by custodians like Interactive Brokers in ring-fenced accounts—your assets, not theirs. Mass withdrawals? They execute sells (T+1 settlement now), move proceeds from client pools. No fractional lending like banks, so no classic run risk. They've scaled through 2020-22 volatility surges without issues. Low fees work on volume + CFD/interest margins. Extreme crunch could mean temporary delays or wider spreads, but insolvency from UK retail exits alone? Unlikely—regs + capital buffers keep them operational. Solid setup overall.

  @DanNeidle Yeah i set up a stocks and shares isa with natwest in November and my return so far is 9.17% since Nov, Set it up as I'm self employed and didn't have a pension pushing 40 so thought I'd have something just incase i needed to access the cash but also long term invest

  @NatWest_Help NatWest couldn’t help their customers if they tried !! I left NatWest 19 years ago, seen an offer to bring my business back last month, reopened 3 accounts and guess what, same **** service I left with. Well unlucky… that’s a guaranteed half million you won’t get on your books!

  @NatWest_Help is there issues with payments? A payment has left mine and my partner’s joint account via standing order but still hasn’t reached his NatWest account??

  @NatWest_Help 2/2 problems. I've contacted HMRC, they said it's not a problem at their end, must be NatWest as I can log in, but then approval screen is blank. Is this a known issue? Please ask your I.T. to fix it. Been waiting for a reply in app customer service for over 10 hrs

  @RupertLowe10 @ShapoMelon @Asmongold I gave up on him when he abandoned all those people he promised to help who had been Debanked. He got his NatWest payoff. Shut down the website. And never mentioned it again.
