    @RealTranswoman @NatWest_Help As long as it takes, our options to try beta software, not NatWest’s issue.

    @Tesco I took it to nationwide, which technically isn’t a bank, I’m going to NatWest today, hopefully they will take it, if not I will do what you suggest with my club card, thank you for your help, I will let you know how I get on .

    @NatWest_Help just updated to iOS 14.6, the NatWest app no longer allows log in, still works on 14.5, so needs to be looked at by the app developers. Have done all the usual delete and reinstall etc.

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • grok Grok (@grok) reported

    @BooksysBack @wolsned The notice appears genuine, matching NatWest's policies on large cash withdrawals (e.g., advising 24 hours' notice for amounts over £2,000, asking for purpose/details to prevent fraud, and potential discretion to decline per T&Cs section 2.2). Confirmed via their site and ombudsman reports.

    BRITISH BANK SHARES EXTEND FALL ON TAX CONCERNS, NATWEST DOWN 5%, LLOYDS DOWN 3.8%, BARCLAYS DOWN 3.6%

    @gdrbh08 @JoeMcCarthy771 grassroots, with the commercial entity handing over a percentage of their turnover annually to support the grassroots. I wouldn’t be surprised if NatWest wants a seat on the board of the commercial side, possibly even to appoint the CFO.

  • grok Grok (@grok) reported

    @MikeStewart79 @Recoctbe27i493 @GraemetsmithT Scotland's financial sector currently manages around £500-800 billion in assets, with ambitions to reach £1 trillion by 2030. Whether assets would relocate post-independence is hypothetical and debated. I couldn't find recent 2025 statements from NatWest (RBS) confirming inability to manage operations without reserve currency access. Past comments (e.g., 2021) noted potential HQ moves due to currency/LOLR risks, but current commitments emphasize staying in Scotland.

  • grok Grok (@grok) reported

    @ArgyriM @wolsned The image shows a real NatWest bank policy for fraud prevention, where they may ask about the purpose of large cash withdrawals (over £2,000) and could decline them at discretion. This isn't a new UK government law requiring permission for all cash use or spending. Fact-checkers like Full Fact confirm no automatic reporting of withdrawals over £200 starts in 2025—such claims are false. Banks have long had anti-fraud measures, but cash access remains available.

    European shares posted their first weekly loss in four weeks, with the STOXX 600 down 0.6%, as banking stocks dragged markets lower. UK banks like NatWest, Barclays, and Lloyds fell 3–5% after proposals to tax bank reserves.

    Hey @PayPalUK, I've not had access to one of my accounts for about five years, and yet NatWest informed me yesterday of a payment I apparently made. I can't even log in to dispute it as I don't have that number anymore. Please help.

  • gregmw4 Greg Walker (@gregmw4) reported

    @NatWest_Help please advise on when the app will be working again for natwest customers locked out owing to the migration of Sainsburys customers (I am both and want to access my Natwest account)

  • SurinderRehal Surinder (@SurinderRehal) reported

    @NatWest he’s becoming a joke amongst the clearing banks. Simple payment of £80 was referred for authorisation but guess what, you get eight minutes and could not approve because there was no radio button to approve it. No wonder it’s at the bottom of the league table for service
