  @kartik_kannan Impossible, not even news… but thats also the reason I sat through the entire Natwest final in 02 because I was leaving for the US right after that & was afraid that i may not get to see another game for a few years… though that didn’t happen… but glad i sat through that game.

  @LairdSummerisle God knows there was some **** allowed in the City from the 70s on (eg Natwest Tower) but Canary wharf was developed from 1988 and we mostly contained the office development out there - what happened in the 00s to allow this plethora of ugly monstrosities to overwhelm the City?

  @NatWest_Help hey folks! My sister banks with you still - she’s just found a car that my dad will buy for her. She needs to transfer £7k from her account to him also a NatWest customer. How can she temporarily up her limits?

  @NatWest_Help @NatWestGroup anyone wanting any currency then don’t order from NatWest. Purchased currency 1st December, they didn’t deliver in time and I’m still awaiting refund. Theft at its best. Customer services are useless.Personal and business accounts to be moved shortly.

  @NatWest_Help Can you please advise who I need to contact to stop mail coming to my address that isn’t addressed to me? Potentially previous owners but me returning the mail to the NatWest return address doesn’t seem to be working!

  This #NatWest "family backed mortgage" doesn't do anything to help underprivileged people at all, just gives people with potentially hefty inheritances another option to buy a house they are probably likely to get anyway...let's not pretend this is great for the average Joe.

  UK Mortgage Rates Surge as Middle East Conflict Sparks Inflation Fears UK mortgage rates have reversed weeks of decline as lenders respond to escalating conflict in the Middle East, with HSBC, Nationwide, Virgin Money, NatWest and Coventry Building Society announcing increases of up to 0.25% across fixed-rate products. The repricing marks an abrupt shift in a market that had been steadily improving since late 2025. According to Mortgage Solutions, the average two-year fixed rate residential mortgage has climbed from 4.32% to 4.82% as of 4 March, while the five-year fix rose from 4.94% to 4.96%. The catalyst: soaring oil and gas prices following US and Israeli strikes on Iran that sent energy markets into turmoil. The two-year swap rate rose from 3.33% on 27 February to 3.65% by 6 March, while the five-year swap rate climbed from 3.5% to 3.8%, according to Moneyfacts. Swap rates — the benchmarks lenders use to price fixed mortgages — move in tandem with market expectations for Bank of England policy. In late February, traders had fully priced in two Bank of England rate cuts by the end of 2026, but by 3 March, the chance of two rate cuts had been completely wiped out, according to the HomeOwners Alliance. The shift reflects a brutal recalculation of inflation risk. Since the first US strikes on Iran on Saturday, energy prices have soared, with the oil price increasing to 84$/barrel (Brent Crude) and UK gas prices to 139p/therm (up 15% and 78% respectively since the weekend), NIESR reported. Iran has disrupted shipping through the Strait of Hormuz — a narrow waterway through which a fifth of all global oil flows, according to Al Jazeera. The UK remains heavily dependent on gas for heating and electricity generation. For UK households, wholesale gas prices matter because they are a key driver of domestic energy bills, meaning a prolonged spike could push up costs in the months ahead. UK inflation stood at 3.4% in December 2025, already above the Bank of England's 2% target.

  @CleansedTweets Yep had many do the same to me, I'm now left with NatWest, TSB and Metro (awful). Even the Internet banks like Wise, and Monzo and probably the best upon launch, Starling all folded, same reasons. NatWest has been most crypto friendly, bar selling crypto back to card, that requires TSB. I've even be banned for sending money to Wise, on suspicion of buying crypto with the money, £50 probably, while that was the intent, how would they have known?
