  @Dodlink @sewateruk @ThreshedThought They promised to deliver water to those on the priority list last weekend but didn’t. Promised again today, but …. My neighbours are elderly & suffering from various cancers but still no help from SEW. Still as long as the NatWest, the FCDQ & UoA are getting their money….

  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

  @NatWest_Help NatWest, your customer service is terrible. 40mins on the phone line then got cut off. Don’t you think if your customer will need to card reader to do bank transfer, you should just automatically send them one, not having to climb a ducking mountain just to get one?

  @merseyrail I’m trying to get a refund for a journey I took over two weeks ago. The NatWest Payout system is having problems but no one has responded to the email I sent a week ago.

  @NatWest_Help hey folks! My sister banks with you still - she’s just found a car that my dad will buy for her. She needs to transfer £7k from her account to him also a NatWest customer. How can she temporarily up her limits?

  @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.

  I used to recommend NatWest but unfortunately, they have provided a really really poor service recently I used to recommend them a lot, after beying a loyal customer. Maybe not so much now. Time to join another bank possibly... @NatWestBusiness @NatWestGroup @NatWest_Help
