  Don't you just love it when your @NatWest account gets locked for a second time in a week and you can't access your money? The second I get back to the UK, that account is getting binned. ******* useless.

  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.

  @AskNationwide This is exactly why I’ve now taken my 3 accounts to NatWest. Nationwide are so behind with the times with their procedures & systems. NatWest can usually fix everything online without having to call them. People don’t have time to call companies & wait on hold for ages anymore!

  @NatWest_Help customer service at natwest is dead. Got a platinum account that's useless. The insurance it comes with is worthless. Rang to complain, and they transferred me to the insurer I was complaining about. They tried to fob me off by transferring me to someone else. Joke.

  @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…..

  🚨 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.

  I’ve contacted via email, dm and many phone calls. Each member of staff passes you onto another and lies. It’s clear why NatWest branches are closing down.
