  @GeorgeMonbiot Not Vodafone but had a bad experience during the whole Power of Attorney procedure. I felt that nobody really cared and it was very low priority. Have had apology and compensation from NatWest and Phoenix Life but there will be many who just put up with this shoddy service

  delays on the M1 today as assistance vehicles with ‘abnormal load’ vehicles steer Nigel Farage’s wallet down from a private airport to London . There will be a 30 minute silence at noon to remember how the nasty NatWest stopped poor Nigel’s bank account lead by Nick Robinson

  Elon Musk, shall I tell you what else those NatWest employees—who scammed me out of 300 pounds—did? They kept blocking my contactless payments; and they send me a message asking me to reply "yes" if I try to make the payment or "no" if I didn't. I reply "yes," confirming I try to make the payment, and they send a follow-up message saying I could use my card—yet my card remained blocked. I called NatWest customer service and explained the situation to the representative: I replied "yes" to the message and was told I could use my card again, but I still couldn't use it because it was blocked. The representative was surprised, said they didn't know why this had happened, and reactivated my card. Elon Musk, they kept blocking my contactless payments—and let me put this in a way you'd understand: they didn't do it for security reasons. In fact, I hadn't made a single payment with that card yet; I tried to make a contactless payment somewhere but couldn't because they had blocked it. The shop assistant even told me, "They probably blocked it because you made too many contactless payments today"—even though I hadn't used the card anywhere before that.

  Chancellor John Healey has declined to rule out a higher tax on banks in his first budget under Prime Minister Andy Burnham, due on October 28. In letters to cabinet ministers this week, Healey said there was no new money available for spending commitments and that all announcements must be funded from within existing budgets, while also warning that Britain’s rising welfare bill must be controlled. He did not explicitly target banks, but the Treasury is under pressure after the TUC called for higher levies on the sector to help fund energy bill relief, and after a year of strong profits. Barclays reported half year profits up 17 percent to 6.1 billion pounds, Lloyds up 23 percent to 4.3 billion pounds and NatWest also up 20 percent to 4.3 billion pounds, figures that make lenders an obvious target for a cash strapped chancellor looking to meet fiscal rules. The debate comes as Burnham settles into Downing Street and sticks to the borrowing rules inherited from Rachel Reeves, requiring day to day spending to be matched by revenue within three years. Healey and Burnham have written that each department has a responsibility to manage within its budget and help bring inflation down. Burnham himself has said he may need to ask people to pay a little more, and has refused to rule out a wealth tax, though he has committed to the manifesto pledge not to raise VAT, income tax or National Insurance rates. The OECD warned this month that Britain’s tax burden is already at its highest since 1948 and urged spending cuts instead of new revenue measures. Banks are lobbying hard against any new levy, arguing UK lenders already pay significantly higher tax than peers in New York and other European capitals, and that competitiveness would suffer. With defence spending, social care and technical education all competing for funds, Healey’s budget will test how far the government is willing to go on sector specific taxes before leaning on broader reprioritisation. - World Business News.

  @SebJohnsonUK @CosineAI Genuine question how is NatWest going to help design a frontier model?

  @CoachDebs_spa lol NatWest are ****. If it wasn’t for my DD they would be gone. Most high street banks now are ******* useless. You can’t do anything with your own money without handing over your inside leg measurement

  @Weirdgripping84 159 gave him a good run but Natwest **** show should have been the end of him. The fact that Laxman also kept failing in 2002 is what helped pip it in Mongia’s favor coz he bowled.

  Joint borrowers earning £150,000+ can now borrow up to 6.5× their income. NatWest will lend at 6.5× for higher earners, but only if they’re borrowing 75% LTV or less. Pros Higher borrowing power — High income earners can access larger mortgages, which helps in expensive markets like London where property prices are high. More competitive offering — NatWest becomes more attractive to wealthy buyers who might otherwise go to specialist lenders. Useful for joint high earners — Couples earning £150k+ combined can stretch further to buy homes in premium areas. Potentially better rates — The article notes NatWest often has best buy rates, so borrowers may get both a high LTI and a good interest rate. Cons Higher financial risk — Borrowing 6.5x income is a big commitment. If interest rates rise or income drops, repayments can become stressful. Lower LTV allowed — To borrow at 6.5x, you must have at least a 25% deposit. That’s a huge barrier for many people. Only for high earners — This doesn’t help average income buyers struggling with affordability. It widens the gap between who can and can’t buy. Could push prices up — Allowing people to borrow more can fuel higher property prices, especially in already expensive areas. This move is good for wealthy buyers who want bigger loans, but it does nothing for regular earners and may even increase market pressure. It’s a strategic play by NatWest to attract high income clients, not a broad affordability solution.

  @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!

  🚨 $QNT holders, seven major UK banks are testing programmable bank money on infrastructure provided by Quant. Read those names again: Barclays. HSBC. Lloyds Banking Group. NatWest. Santander. Monzo. Nationwide. Led by UK Finance, the Great British Tokenised Deposit initiative is delivering live pilot transactions involving digital versions of normal sterling bank deposits. The easiest way to understand it is this: Your money remains bank money. But instead of sending it blindly and trusting every person in the process, rules can be attached before it moves. Payment releases when the buyer receives the product. Mortgage funds transfer when every document and condition is ready. Money and a tokenised asset settle together, so neither participant is left waiting and exposed. Quant’s Overledger provides the orchestration and interoperability connecting participating banks with RTGS, Faster Payments, Open Banking and tokenised-deposit platforms. That is why this matters more than another blockchain demonstration. The institutions are testing real financial activity across multiple banks, with fraud protection, settlement efficiency and programmability at the centre. GBTD also follows Quant’s involvement in the UK Regulated Liability Network, while its acceptance into the Bank of England Synchronisation Lab places the project beside the UK’s work on atomic central-bank-money settlement. Does this guarantee every bank will buy QNT? No. But it gives Quant institutional validation that most interoperability projects spend years trying to earn. If GBTD succeeds, the opportunity will extend far beyond one UK pilot. Other countries are also exploring tokenised deposits, digital securities and connected payment systems. QNT is sitting behind infrastructure the largest banks will need to make those separate systems work together. Many people will study QNT after adoption becomes obvious. I would rather understand why seven banks selected Quant before everyone else notices. My conviction in $QNT came before the headlines. Now the adoption is becoming impossible to ignore.

  @CallMeMoNow That's such a shame. We had some very valuable advice from a neighbour who worked in the bereavement part of NatWest when Tony was doing his aged relatives' probate. Like everything else it's all gone to ****
