  Smiley Culture: NatWest On Line (1986). This is one of two adverts reggae star Smiley Culture did for the bank, promoting their On Line bank accounts aimed at teenagers. UK banks leaned heavily into the teenage market in the 1980s, on the assumption that customers rarely changed bank accounts. If you got the customer young they would stay with you for life, so why not give them a cash card and a free sports bag when they were 14?

  @LBC Remember when @Nigel_Farage set up a website vowing to help any 'debanked' members of the public if they went to the site and handed over their details. NatWest paid him an undisclosed amount and he shut down the site quietly saying nothing.

  @reformexposed So in other words the DOGE data harvest has been completed and has been closed down, just like NatWest stuff where he got individuals details

  @CR1337 If your withdrawal is legit, then what's the issue here? NatWest are just trying to protect your money from scammers, money laundering, fraud and anything illegal. They have a duty of care towards their customers. This is a sign of a good bank, which is why I bank with them.

  @ThreshedThought Thanks Mike. The real issue is the 75% foreign ownership, which makes it much harder to influence change. It’s baffling how this model was ever allowed for our key services: 🇦🇺 50% Utilities Trust of Australia 🇬🇧 25% NatWest Pension Trustee Ltd 🇨🇦 25% Desjardins (linked to CDPQ)

  @Natwest idea of progress is to close down helpful & people focussed branches particularly with the elderly & divert everyone to a busy automated focussed branch you have to travel to & which is always full of queues. First Catford closed diverting to lewisham now sydenham.

  RBS - the bad news never stops for this entity. Whilst an old story coming to a conclusion it is reminds us for just what an awful business RBS became, surely it is time for NatWest to vaporise this brand and its culture (for the benefit of shareholders as well as just because)? See more below @stockmark_it

  Anyone had a problem with opening a NatWest business account? I've been waiting a month!! No one answers the phone, I've been waiting for 40minutes this morning, no one answered. Online you get Bots. Fed up!

  I used to recommend NatWest but unfortunately, they have provided a really really poor service recently I used to recommend them a lot, after beying a loyal customer. Maybe not so much now. Time to join another bank possibly... @NatWestBusiness @NatWestGroup @NatWest_Help

  @Loopify NatWest stopped me from buying crypto since about 3 years ago. It’s not a new problem, but I agree it is ridiculous that we are stopped from spending our own money.
