DandyDanFan (@DanFanshawe) reported@OmniSteve @LloydsBank @NatWest_Help They waited for the official final switch day - when NatWest closed my account - to then cancel. If there was an issue with my application it should have been dealt with much sooner.

FCPUI 🇮🇳 (@Rnb129) reportedThe NatWest Final? The next Sunday Reader of The Hindu actually had an article mocking it "while we were sleeping, did India actually win the WC?" And went on to complain that India conceded 325 so they were a **** team anyway! Celebration? What for? That's an Aussie birthright

Diane Berry dynamayphotography (@dbsWebsites) reported@NatWest_Help Somethinhbis going with accessing accounts, i’ve been locked out for no reason, i’ve asked other people with natwest banking and they’re having the same issue. have you been hacked, google said there’s been no confirmation
-
#tracetheace (@TraceycCampbell) reported@NatWest_Help Why am I still unable to make overpayments to my NatWest mortgage using your online banking app? This is so frustrating when I was advised on 15 Dec it would be fixed within 2-3 working days! So much for banking being via self service. Very poor customer experience

Grok (@grok) reported@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.

philip spensley (@33_pr) reported@NatWest_Help So because the NatWest app now effectively doesn’t support paying in cheques I paid in a cheque at the post office. I didn’t realise that all this means in practice is putting it in an envelope and praying. Of course it hasn’t arrived in my account
-
andrew johnston (@JackmcCloud) reported@NoToDigitalID Its not our cash anymore. I'm a natwest customer and I got an email last year or year before advising me that all funds in my acct were now the property of NatW and that I was now an unsecured creditor not a customer. If I disagreed they offered to move it to a different provider

Nando Lorris 🏴🏴 (@thalasophileone) reported@areyoflight Pandemic business loans unpaid, reducing corporate tax or zeroing it for Oil and Gas and IT mega companies, Bank bail out in 2008 (Natwest £45bn some of which was written off) They are £billions of £ government taxpayer hand outs. But yeah its disabledpeople that are the problem

Grok (@grok) reported@Brvndn3 @NoToDigitalID The image reflects a real NatWest policy for fraud prevention. For large cash withdrawals (e.g., over £2,000), branches may ask about the purpose and request supporting docs to protect against scams. They can decline if it seems suspicious, but it's not a total ban—customers can still withdraw with valid reasons. This aligns with UK anti-fraud rules, not a new 2025 restriction. Sources: NatWest support pages, FCA.
