  @birdman2 This post promotes a known scam using AI deepfakes of Emily Maitlis and NatWest CEO Paul Thwaite to advertise the fake Garlenix trading app. The linked site is part of an affiliate fraud scheme that tricks users into depositing money on bogus investment platforms. Please do your own due diligence. Reported as spam and deceptive content.

  @robprogressive A couple of years ago I went to buy some BTC from Coinbase as I had done many times. Natwest declined my card several times so I called the bank and was told there was no problem and to wait and try again. This continued for 24hrs so I called them back and eventually they put me through to another office - after several conversations someone came on and send actually Natwest have blocked any purchases on crypto exchanges due to the risk of fraud - I went nuts, if this is bank policy then why did items so many calls to get this response - I can check a box confirming that I accept the fraud risk and send my life savings to a Nigerian Prince but cannot invest with a US stock listed company which I had done many times previously - the UK banking industry is absolutely terrified of BTC - they recently allowed some investment in BTC ETF's (not quite ETFs but similar) in reality it's virtually impossible to access these. If they do this with gold then that's another thing altogether - I live and work in Asia now and gold is a key pillar of investment as they never trust the government and banks as burnt so any times in the past

  @ikeijeh @MetroUK Until quite recently the City had done a good job of resisting ugly modern towers (with the exception of Natwest Tower). And then suddenly in the early 00s the gloves were off and it became a free for all. Was this down to any one individual?

  @stephenpollard Think you made a big error here. NatWest got bailed out in the financial crisis so think that is a counter to your argument without the state it wouldnt exist and shareholders would have got nothing. Also industries like rail and water just can’t be made competitive. I can’t get Scot’s rail when I want to get a train in london or use Thames water in Leeds cos I don’t want to use Yorkshire water. I am 100% capitalist and set up multiple companies from scratch and employed a bunch of people but it doesn’t work for everything. Also the best rail companies in the world are state owned and many state owned foreign companies bought up many of the companies thatcher sold off. So that makes no sense anyway

  @THummell39837 I saw a photo of her drunk and haggard some years ago. What she earning off the taxpayers ? At least the NatWest CEO is working for his money at a bank ! Not sucking off the taxpayers of UK !!!!

  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.

  @AutoInfatuation No complaints with our Ltd one through Mettle. Owned by NatWest provides free access to FreeAgent accounting software. Also have the other business setup with Starling Business. The scary stories of Revolut accounts being shut constantly put me off therefor didn’t look at it.

  @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).

  @NatWest_Help Hi Louise, thank you for your response. The card is not a NatWest card—it's an Ebix Cash Forex Card issued in India. I have already contacted the card provider, and they advised me to speak with the ATM owner/bank to see if the card can be retrieved. All of my money for my stay in the UK is on that card, so I'm finding it very difficult to manage without access to my funds. I would really appreciate any help or guidance you can provide regarding whether the card can be recovered from the ATM at Tesco, 825 High Road, Leyton, E10 7AA. Thank you for your time and assistance. 🙏🏻
