  Just so as everyone is aware withdrawing cash from Natwest is fun. Staff question you to give details on how you spend it. This made me very uncomfortable being asked these questions in full view and earshot of every customer there but its their policy apparently.

  @Rajiv1841 Kid dont rely on stats! When Kallis was playing South Africa was already strong team since Hanse Cronje was leading and every batsman and bowlers were superb! Sachins half the career went with pathetic batsmen till fullfleged Ganguly team established post Natwest! Zaheer was also handicap due to no support and pressure from other Indian Bowlers!

  @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.

  @Morrisons idk why but you had an issue with NatWest card online for days, today my order was cancelled because somehow you have an issue with the TSB card which was accepted when placing the order. Awesome. Might have to be the first and last time I shop Morrisons home delivery.

  @weyland76 Hmmm, this doesn't sound great Matt 😕 but let's see how we can help- can you tell me a bit more about what's happened so we can see where to go from there? Do you have reason to believe that someone has made a loan or credit card application in your name with NatWest? ~Louise

  @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.

  @NatWest_Help Ok but doesn’t really help me. I needed cash to pay the barber! 💈 wasted trip. It’s the lack of communication from NatWest that’s even more annoying. An hour on the phone and even the customer care guy, doing his best and really good guy, couldn’t tell me what was up
