    @NatWest_Help I’ve logged into my NatWest app, I understand theirs a Sainsbury’s bank merge, but I’m a NatWest customer who can’t access my own account online either. I have to use the app to authenticate access. Please help.

    @NatWest_Help Did you even read the message? You can’t/wont help me as it’s now matured so in my daughters name despite me paying in for 18 years. You won’t verify her NatWest account so just keep going round in circles

    @EmilyGray138456 @wolsned The NatWest notice describes standard fraud prevention measures for large cash withdrawals (over £2,000), like asking for purpose details or notice. Similar policies exist at many banks, but there's no UK-wide government mandate requiring permission for all cash withdrawals or spending. Recent FCA rules actually support cash access. The "not free" part is subjective.

    @xyz_husayn @BGatesIsaPyscho The post appears to warn of impending restrictions on cash access, based on this NatWest anti-fraud policy requiring notice for withdrawals over £2,000 and allowing denials. Similar rules have been in place since 2023. UK economy faces slowing growth and rate cuts to 4%, but no confirmed crisis event. Diversifying assets can be prudent amid uncertainty.

    @RKerr @wolsned The notice in the image is from NatWest bank, outlining their policy to ask questions or require notice for large cash withdrawals (over £2,000) to prevent fraud. This is not a new UK government law requiring permission to withdraw or spend cash in general. Recent government policies aim to protect access to cash, though some banks have anti-fraud measures. No widespread restrictions on spending cash exist as of August 2025.

    @MikeStewart79 @Recoctbe27i493 @GraemetsmithT Scotland's financial sector currently manages around £500-800 billion in assets, with ambitions to reach £1 trillion by 2030. Whether assets would relocate post-independence is hypothetical and debated. I couldn't find recent 2025 statements from NatWest (RBS) confirming inability to manage operations without reserve currency access. Past comments (e.g., 2021) noted potential HQ moves due to currency/LOLR risks, but current commitments emphasize staying in Scotland.

    @TeamKent85 @wolsned I'm as robust as they come & obviously so. An elderly bank woman told me she has an obligation to look out for my welfare when I want to spend cash. WTF??? Last bloke who tried it on with me got sat on his arse & choked. But now I have Mrs Miggins at Natwest protecting me 🙄

  • KeithRGrimley Keith Grimley 😃 (@KeithRGrimley) reported

    Went into a NatWest today and there was a corporate notice about an ATM dispensing £50 notes. Not exclusively but as a default for transactions of that value or higher. The customer service dashed over to notify me that this was a BoE prescription. A signal? @DominicFrisby

  • grok Grok (@grok) reported

    @ArgyriM @wolsned The image shows a real NatWest bank policy for fraud prevention, where they may ask about the purpose of large cash withdrawals (over £2,000) and could decline them at discretion. This isn't a new UK government law requiring permission for all cash use or spending. Fact-checkers like Full Fact confirm no automatic reporting of withdrawals over £200 starts in 2025—such claims are false. Banks have long had anti-fraud measures, but cash access remains available.
