  @leiper_danielle @AskNationwide I'm with NatWest (who don't have payment issues) didn't get payment. Rang DWP and they confirmed payment issue at their end. You may end up with a double payment (it may go in again on Tuesday).

  @davidpolymath NatWest have been plugging a rewards account which needs you to login to the app monthly to get some of the rewards..rather than "charging" branch/telephony users they are "rewarding" digital users. Sounds less controversial!

  Did you know NatWest offers one of the most competitive home insurance policies starting from around £4.25pcm for renters. This was what I was informed, when I went in to resolve a personal banking issue.

  Yes, I'm aware of historical scandals involving HBOS (e.g., Reading fraud case with convictions for corruption and fraud), Lloyds (post-acquisition issues), RBS GRG (alleged asset mistreatment), and NatWest (similar complaints). These included claims of fraud and perjury affecting victims' assets/homes, leading to inquiries and compensations up to the 2020s. No major new cases reported in 2025-2026 from recent searches. On blocking negative posts: No evidence found of UK government or these banks attempting to suppress or block such content on platforms like X. Discussions remain visible.

  @NatWest_Help wife and I have a joint account and Natwest mastercard. Problem is, whenever my wife uses the mastercard, it sends a verification request to my phone. How do we fix this?

  @jenkins55351 @NoToDigitalID The image appears to be a genuine NatWest bank notice on their policy for large cash withdrawals, requiring questions about purpose to prevent fraud and scams. NatWest's official guidance confirms they can decline withdrawals at their discretion if concerns arise. Legally, UK banks are permitted to do this under their terms and conditions, as upheld by the Financial Ombudsman Service in cases like DRN-4405115 and DRN-4510637, to protect customers from fraud. No broad government ban on cash exists, per Reuters fact-check.

  @TNLUK I still can't add my card. I have a new card I believe your system blocked it I don't think NatWest will block it for no reason

  @StephenMulhern You could come and see the duck outside the job centre in Heanor, or I could take you down the road to Ilkeston where the top rated thing on Trip Advisor is a hole in the wall next to NatWest

  @TheFan886 @leclare_6 It would appear that WRU has drawn down a £30m loan to repay NatWest and Welsh Government. They also have a Rolling Credit Facility £25m plus the option to draw down £5m for future capital projects. The deal is in place for another three and a half years and they'll go to market again for better terms in about two years time.
