  @NatWest_Help I have been trying to get a bank statement with my address on it! Is so difficult! I need a proof of address to get some help as I have Covid #natwestbank services in that respect is appalling! You should be able to get that on the NatWest app #appalling

  Most people know Gilbert Verdian as "the Quant CEO" Founder, CEO, the face of $QNT Fewer people actually know what he was doing before Quant existed. 20+ years in cybersecurity across 3+ governments before he ever touched crypto • Downing St • HM Treasury • Bank of England • Ministry of Justice • US Federal Reserve • NSW Health in Aus And of course there's everything on the private sector side with Vocalink and standards with ISO. That's NOT a typical crypto founder resume. That's someone who spent 2 decades inside the exact institutions Quant's now offering interoperability infrastructure to. And the idea for Overledger didn't come from a whitepaper brainstorm either... It came directly out of his work on ISO TC307, the international blockchain standards committee, back in 2016. He kept running into the same problem across every government and bank he worked with None of these systems could talk to each other. Quant was built to solve that specific problem Fast forward to today and that same TC307 work is still active Quant remains one of the core voices shaping ISO standards across 53 countries. The UK picked Quant to build the infrastructure for GBTD, tokenised sterling deposits, with Barclays, HSBC, Lloyds, NatWest, Nationwide and Santander all on board. Overledger sits inside Project Rosalind with the Bank of England and BIS. Inside the ECB's work. Inside the UK's Regulated Liability Network. Inside of UK Finance's GBTD which has received approval by the likes of UK Chancellor & Bank of England. None of that happens by accident. It happens because the guy building it spent two decades inside the rooms where these decisions actually get made.

  @Voyager4IR @NoBullCryptoBen @matttttt187 Chainlink isn't working with central banks yet. They have multiple BIS/Central bank projects, Murex, Natwest Euroclear, Oracle...... That's just ignorant 🤷 ... We all know Central banks are going to be the slowest movers.

  @Londonist @DCBMEP “…began in 1971. ..nine years to realise.” (Working closely with Seiferts from 1975, as PQS for the now the Sea Containers Hotel, I was told that the delay in the NatWest Tower was as a result of a redesign for the tower footprint to match the new NatWest logo).

  I did exactly that with NatWest and got an apology and compensation. (Think it was £100) Clearly an issue with training that needs highlighting.

  How tf can #Natwest reject my driving licence for being too blurry when their website automatically takes the picture for you once the card is in focus & in the correct position. Just waited an hour to be verified to be told no because they chose to apparently take a blurry pic.

  @AskNationwide This is exactly why I’ve now taken my 3 accounts to NatWest. Nationwide are so behind with the times with their procedures & systems. NatWest can usually fix everything online without having to call them. People don’t have time to call companies & wait on hold for ages anymore!

  In 2017 I was the first designer at a UK fintech startup now valued at $100m+, with 500+ employees across 60 countries. It was just me, two founders, and two others in a room in London. The work wasn't a redesign. It was branding and the early flows for a payments platform. Nobody in that room called it design strategy. It was five people deciding how the product should work before there was a product. Then I spent almost a decade in the corporate world. Citibank, Mercedes, NatWest, Virgin Media. Products used by 50M+ people. £11M NPV on one project. That world taught me systems thinking, rigour, how to make a decision that survives fifteen stakeholders and a compliance review. It also taught me that six months to ship a signup flow is not a law of physics. It's a byproduct of the org chart. Most funded founders assume those two things come as a package. That if you want big company craft you have to accept big company timelines. You don't. The thinking travels. The process doesn't have to. I didn't leave because the work was bad. It was the best training I could have asked for. I left because I wanted the room of five again. Take everything those companies taught me and run it my way. No six week kickoff. No deck to justify a deck. A way founders can actually work with. So I started my studio last year. 5+ projects since across Fintech, publishing, agri-tech, and two founders launching their brands from zero. It's graft. But it's my graft now. If you're funded, building, and the product works but the numbers don't - that's the exact problem I spend my days on.

  @peterjukes This was literally 3 years ago, the article states the short position was held since the spring of 2023 before the announcement that coutts closed his account. If Farage got the letter in June 2023 but they were already shorting NatWest, then this will be a non-issue.

  Quantum readiness programs feel like progress. They aren't. NatWest and 10 others joined NQCC's QTAP cohort 3, awareness, not migration. Different problems. QuanChain's oracle-triggered key rotation solves the second in under 90 days, no protocol vote. Should regulators require migration proof, not just program enrollment, before 2028?

  @WestStandWindy @MightyMillers20 He doesn’t need to do an awful lot though. Can probably transfer the operating budget into club accounts from the NatWest app on his phone from his yacht. Steve will know how to buy a player and run the football side. Head coach arriving tomorrow. He’ll have a managing director (Paul Douglas?) handling the non-football side. Facetiously, you’d say of all the things Tony Stewart has got wrong in recent years, having a holiday in May is probably the one thing he’s got right!
