  💙 Stacey Killon (@beady_stace) reported 5 minutes ago from Worcester Park, England

  Not particularly impressed with my local @NatWest_Help branch today in trying to open a trust fund. “It’s all on the app” - what about actually providing actual customer service? 😩 #natwest

  @sainsburys I just said they reported no issues! I literally just messaged natwest themselves. I'll shop elsewhere as every other website is processing payments via visa fine apart from yours. Who knew it this hard to order soap powder and bleach?

  For all the chat about how incumbents are lagging - NatWest is showing how it should be done. Deep Innovation, working with regulators, delivering new services at a scale others can only dream of. Let’s see if that forces some of the laggards to - finally - act.

  @NatWest_Help NatWest, Please fix this flaw in your card system. You changed my digital card number before I have access to my new card, therefore my iPhone payments don't work, I just was completely stranded not realising I would need my plastic card to make payments

  Dmitri Old (@DmitriusOld) reported 30 minutes ago from London, England

  Credit where it is due. Samantha at Natwest got it sorted and compensated me for the problems. Well done to her. @NatWest_Help should be grateful. @AskNationwide the ball is in your court to keep me as a customer.

  ME88 (@ME8803076435) reported 31 minutes ago from City of London, England

  This means that she @NatWest_Help stole the cash and withdrew the same amount from the customer's account. The customer is now out of pocket twice the amount. Natwest is simply disputing this and covering it up. More employees may be involved so always check your receipts.

  @Brightstar have just tried to call you through Natwest to get help to register my phone but instead someone picked up my call and apparently a private call as well, and I was left hanging with no answer tor several minutes until I gave up. Not a great experience

  @TicketmasterCS help please! I never received a booking confirmation email or my posted tickets for a show tonight. I booked via NatWest black membership app so they aren’t showing in my ticketmaster account either - how do I get hold of my tickets? Thanks

  ‘You’re suggesting I take out a loan, to deal with a cash flow issue resulting from NatWest’s incompetence?’ ‘No, I didn’t say that. The lending team can do all sorts of things’ Right… 11/

  Who else has been a victim of card fraud at the NatWest Ealing Broadway branch? On Wednesday morning, the NatWest ATM swallowed my debit card, then it stopped working, subsequently my card was used in frauduleus transactions. @NatWest_Help @NatWestGroup @metpoliceuk

  Bert (@XBerts) reported 46 minutes ago from Camberwell, England

  @NatWest_Help getting a replacement card appears to be mission impossible with NatWest. Currently having a conversation in the app and the agent replies after one hour! What is your excuse @NatWest? Worst bank ever

  ME88 (@ME8803076435) reported 46 minutes ago from City of London, England

  Please be aware of @NatWest_Help employees at Natwest Ealing branch. There is a female employee who took a customer's cash deposit of about a grand and put a witdrawal transaction through the system instead.

  @NatWest_Help absolutely appalling service today at NatWest telephone banking. Have been waiting for over one hour to get a replacement card. Get transferred to random people and now cut off! WTF !!

  @carolecadwalla I found a NatWest debit card for Natalie West (thought it was a test card) but took it anyway to a NatWest branch and it turned out she was a real customer!

  @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.

  UK Mortgage Rates Surge as Middle East Conflict Sparks Inflation Fears UK mortgage rates have reversed weeks of decline as lenders respond to escalating conflict in the Middle East, with HSBC, Nationwide, Virgin Money, NatWest and Coventry Building Society announcing increases of up to 0.25% across fixed-rate products. The repricing marks an abrupt shift in a market that had been steadily improving since late 2025. According to Mortgage Solutions, the average two-year fixed rate residential mortgage has climbed from 4.32% to 4.82% as of 4 March, while the five-year fix rose from 4.94% to 4.96%. The catalyst: soaring oil and gas prices following US and Israeli strikes on Iran that sent energy markets into turmoil. The two-year swap rate rose from 3.33% on 27 February to 3.65% by 6 March, while the five-year swap rate climbed from 3.5% to 3.8%, according to Moneyfacts. Swap rates — the benchmarks lenders use to price fixed mortgages — move in tandem with market expectations for Bank of England policy. In late February, traders had fully priced in two Bank of England rate cuts by the end of 2026, but by 3 March, the chance of two rate cuts had been completely wiped out, according to the HomeOwners Alliance. The shift reflects a brutal recalculation of inflation risk. Since the first US strikes on Iran on Saturday, energy prices have soared, with the oil price increasing to 84$/barrel (Brent Crude) and UK gas prices to 139p/therm (up 15% and 78% respectively since the weekend), NIESR reported. Iran has disrupted shipping through the Strait of Hormuz — a narrow waterway through which a fifth of all global oil flows, according to Al Jazeera. The UK remains heavily dependent on gas for heating and electricity generation. For UK households, wholesale gas prices matter because they are a key driver of domestic energy bills, meaning a prolonged spike could push up costs in the months ahead. UK inflation stood at 3.4% in December 2025, already above the Bank of England's 2% target.

  @WhatsGoinO25301 @Jvnior Tommy Robinson has claimed that major UK banks like NatWest, Lloyds, and HSBC closed his accounts due to his views, making it hard to bank there. However, he has used online banking alternatives. Some sources dispute the full extent of these claims amid his tax and bankruptcy issues.

  My NatWest account wanted me to enter a 6-digit code just now. It would help if they sent me the code to enter. I had to ask for a resend.

  NatWest done bits with this new pots feature in this recent app upgrade 🥲👏🏾. They still have a few tweaks they gotta make (setting up standing orders and renaming pots without having to close them) but they have a customer for life in me I fear 🥲🥲🥲.

  @NatWest_Help i’ve now made three attempts to make a payment around £300. Each time I’m being asked to approve the transaction and when I go into my account there is nothing waiting to be approved. It really is a rubbish system with NatWest as I have no such issues with oth accts
