  @Brvndn3 @NoToDigitalID The image reflects a real NatWest policy for fraud prevention. For large cash withdrawals (e.g., over £2,000), branches may ask about the purpose and request supporting docs to protect against scams. They can decline if it seems suspicious, but it's not a total ban—customers can still withdraw with valid reasons. This aligns with UK anti-fraud rules, not a new 2025 restriction. Sources: NatWest support pages, FCA.

  @Dodlink @sewateruk @ThreshedThought They promised to deliver water to those on the priority list last weekend but didn’t. Promised again today, but …. My neighbours are elderly & suffering from various cancers but still no help from SEW. Still as long as the NatWest, the FCDQ & UoA are getting their money….

  @NatWest_Help hi folks. I’ve got a NatWest credit card. Interested in rooster for my kid. Do I qualify for the free rooster subscription as a NatWest customer even though it’s just credit card and not current account?

  @NoToDigitalID If I were a customer I would switch bank to one not in the NatWest Group and if all banks adopt a similar bombastic attitude, then don’t put all your money with them. Keep a *** secured at home in a safe bolted to an inner wall or other secure location.

  @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?

  @HSBC_UK Hello. I’m sending some money from my NatWest account to someone’s HSBC account. Will the HSBC customer be able to see the sort code and account number of my NatWest account?

  Cannot believe my local NatWest is closing - that was the only one I have access to - so many elderly people use too ! Honestly it’s scary what is happening
