  My NatWest account wanted me to enter a 6-digit code just now. It would help if they sent me the code to enter. I had to ask for a resend.

  @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

  @OmniSteve @LloydsBank @NatWest_Help They waited for the official final switch day - when NatWest closed my account - to then cancel. If there was an issue with my application it should have been dealt with much sooner.

  @RehabLegendLou @Morrisons Thanks mate, I ended up getting TSB working by having the basket plus 10% Shame NatWest cards are glitched, because TSB is kinda clunky to use

  @MLorrM How many TOP BODS illicitly benefitted from engineered customer asset sales when RBS, NatWest, Lloyds, HSBC & Barclays were faced with being exposed for fraudulently selling derivatives, fixed rate loans & invoice financing to U.K. & Irish SMEs with HIDDEN CREDIT FACILITIES?

  @Dontigga @funkomi If you earn £140k a year net income I’m pretty sure taking out a mortgage from Lloyds or NatWest to buy a home won’t be so difficult after two good years of working

  @AaronBastani My Samsung S23 Ultra is insured through NatWest. I had a cracked screen, broken charging port & damaged frame. Paid £50 & got all three problems fixed plus new battery, all data restored. Took a man in a van at my house about an hr. Don't see the need for these EU restrictions.
