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

  @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.

  @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

  @NatWest_Help. I accidentally paid funds to a NatWest Credit Card via faster payment. This credit card was closed a few years back. It took me 3 calls to get some info & I was advised it could take up to 21 days. I am a NatWest customer & it was paid to NatWest Account.

  Just so all you little guys with the big accounts know, Man Utd ain’t losing today. And you can take that to NatWest/First Direct whatever bank you choose that offers a competitive interest rate on personal ISAs up to £20k limit per customer

  @financialombuds I'm confused Why are investigators keep missing main point? Asking NatWest for card reader won't help because the app requests face recognition to update details in the app Please tell where will reader card fit in?

  @robertmdaws Early 80s NatWest Leeds Sunday League team wore the yellow away kit. Awful scratchy polyester thing.

  SEAN PAUL DAY (@seanpaulday) reported 14 minutes ago

  Today, @CamdenCouncil, your scheme failed a frail, elderly woman in a significant way. She flagged me down at the intersection of Tottenham Court Road and Oxford Street, urgently needing help to pick up her elderly friend at the NatWest bank on Tottenham Court Road. What should have been a quick one-minute journey along a major thoroughfare turned into a frustrating 16-minute detour. The reality is that Tottenham Court Road does not prioritise “inclusion.” It is absurd that an accessible means of transport is prohibited from driving along one of London’s main roads. @TfL @LondonAssembly

  @LBC Remember when @Nigel_Farage set up a website vowing to help any 'debanked' members of the public if they went to the site and handed over their details. NatWest paid him an undisclosed amount and he shut down the site quietly saying nothing.

  There needs to be something about Ultra @Revolut but just below private banking I'd love that concierge service NatWest are marketing to me but at Revolut

  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

  @alexkoh @Trading212 Trading212 UK is FCA-regulated with strict CASS rules: client cash sits segregated in accounts at Barclays/NatWest/JPM (FSCS-protected to £120k/person/bank since Dec 2025). Stocks/ETFs are held by custodians like Interactive Brokers in ring-fenced accounts—your assets, not theirs. Mass withdrawals? They execute sells (T+1 settlement now), move proceeds from client pools. No fractional lending like banks, so no classic run risk. They've scaled through 2020-22 volatility surges without issues. Low fees work on volume + CFD/interest margins. Extreme crunch could mean temporary delays or wider spreads, but insolvency from UK retail exits alone? Unlikely—regs + capital buffers keep them operational. Solid setup overall.
