  I did exactly that with NatWest and got an apology and compensation. (Think it was £100) Clearly an issue with training that needs highlighting.

  @WSJ NatWest expecting income at the top end of guidance after 9.5% growth is a strong signal that UK banking is in a surprisingly healthy position. higher interest rates have been painful for borrowers but banks are thriving on the margin between what they pay depositors and what they charge on loans. the structural hedge giving them protection means they keep earning even when rates eventually come down. UK banks havent looked this profitable in years

  @donmcgowan Complete crap. Alison Rose, CEO of Coutts, dmitted to a "serious error of judgement" in discussing Farage's accounts publically. Rose resigned as CEO of NatWest Group with immediate effect after that.

  @Gold_Phishy @troyhunt @haveibeenpwned His bank, NatWest, told him that it is blocking payments to PayPal accounts for his protection. He has used the same account for years to pay me via PayPal without any problems, until now.

  @Helixd @OborneTweets It was entirely different. Coutts didn’t debank him. It told him he was no longer welcome as a customer and offered him an ordinary NatWest account - it owns Coutts. It was F who turned it into a victimisation story.

  @NatWest_Help @NatWest_Help I am in severe financial hardship. Gotogate conceded my £1,298 refund weeks ago, yet NatWest is holding my funds until June 7th. Ombudsman Case PNX-6001799-B1R6 is open. Why won't you provide provisional credit to a loyal customer in need?

  🚨 THE INSTITUTIONAL PAYMENT RACE HAS SIX CLEAR FRONT-RUNNERS. 🚨 $XRP $XLM $QNT $LINK $XDC $HBAR I ranked them by something more important than attention: Who is already connected to banks, payment companies, market infrastructure and real settlement activity? 1. $XRP The strongest direct bridge-asset design. XRP can provide temporary liquidity between currencies, helping payment companies avoid keeping money trapped in accounts around the world. Ripple’s full MiCA authorisation now gives its regulated crypto services access across the European Economic Area. 2. $XLM The strongest remittance and stablecoin network. Stellar recorded $5.5 billion in stablecoin payment volume during Q1 2026. MoneyGram also continues connecting Stellar-based digital dollars with cash access, and DTC expects tokenised assets to become available on Stellar in 2027. 3. $QNT The interoperability layer. Quant’s Fusion Rollup connects 74 networks, while UK Finance is testing tokenised bank deposits with Barclays, HSBC, Lloyds, NatWest, Nationwide and Santander. 4. $LINK The institutional connection and data layer. DTCC is integrating Chainlink into its Collateral AppChain for pricing, valuation and near-real-time collateral movement, with production expected in Q4 2026. 5. $XDC The trade-finance specialist. Native USDC and CCTP V2 are live on XDC, strengthening its position for cross-border settlement, receivables and tokenised trade assets. 6. $HBAR The enterprise settlement network. Archax is already using Hedera for tokenised securities whose USDC cash flows automatically follow ownership in near real time. One moves liquidity. One connects money with people. One links banking systems. One delivers trusted data and instructions. One modernises global trade. One supports regulated enterprise assets. Institutions will not choose only one rail. They will need an entire financial stack. These six are already positioning themselves inside it.

  @NatWest_Help 35 years as a NatWest personal and business customer and zero understanding of my business or the support you’d expect from your bank. Utterly aghast…..

  @stephenpollard Think you made a big error here. NatWest got bailed out in the financial crisis so think that is a counter to your argument without the state it wouldnt exist and shareholders would have got nothing. Also industries like rail and water just can’t be made competitive. I can’t get Scot’s rail when I want to get a train in london or use Thames water in Leeds cos I don’t want to use Yorkshire water. I am 100% capitalist and set up multiple companies from scratch and employed a bunch of people but it doesn’t work for everything. Also the best rail companies in the world are state owned and many state owned foreign companies bought up many of the companies thatcher sold off. So that makes no sense anyway

  @stevemiddi1 @ArturNadol7566 @LloydsBank I have the internal Natwest interest forecasts and they were all going down at that time.
