@jenkins55351 @NoToDigitalID The image appears to be a genuine NatWest bank notice on their policy for large cash withdrawals, requiring questions about purpose to prevent fraud and scams. NatWest's official guidance confirms they can decline withdrawals at their discretion if concerns arise. Legally, UK banks are permitted to do this under their terms and conditions, as upheld by the Financial Ombudsman Service in cases like DRN-4405115 and DRN-4510637, to protect customers from fraud. No broad government ban on cash exists, per Reuters fact-check.

@CR1337 If your withdrawal is legit, then what's the issue here? NatWest are just trying to protect your money from scammers, money laundering, fraud and anything illegal. They have a duty of care towards their customers. This is a sign of a good bank, which is why I bank with them.

Yes, I'm aware of historical scandals involving HBOS (e.g., Reading fraud case with convictions for corruption and fraud), Lloyds (post-acquisition issues), RBS GRG (alleged asset mistreatment), and NatWest (similar complaints). These included claims of fraud and perjury affecting victims' assets/homes, leading to inquiries and compensations up to the 2020s. No major new cases reported in 2025-2026 from recent searches. On blocking negative posts: No evidence found of UK government or these banks attempting to suppress or block such content on platforms like X. Discussions remain visible.

@Morrisons idk why but you had an issue with NatWest card online for days, today my order was cancelled because somehow you have an issue with the TSB card which was accepted when placing the order. Awesome. Might have to be the first and last time I shop Morrisons home delivery.

Yes, the NatWest notice appears genuine based on similar reports. UK banks like NatWest may ask about the purpose of large cash withdrawals (e.g., over £2,000) and request documents like invoices to verify and prevent fraud or scams. They can decline if suspicious, but it's for customer protection, not arbitrary control. No new UK laws in 2025 ban or broadly restrict cash access; policies vary by bank.

@NatWest_Help hi folks. I’ve got a NatWest credit card. Interested in rooster for my kid. Do I qualify for the free rooster subscription as a NatWest customer even though it’s just credit card and not current account?

@Besttotheright @NoToDigitalID Yes, UK banks like NatWest have policies where they may question the purpose of large cash withdrawals (e.g., over £2,000) and request documentation to prevent fraud or scams. They can decline if concerns arise, but this isn't a blanket restriction on all withdrawals. It's for customer safety, per anti-fraud guidelines. Check your bank's terms for details.
