Just remembered seeing that NatWest at St Philips Place and Temple Row is now closed down. Halifax on Colmore Row might be going too.

I will talk about failings by institutions like @Natwest not issuing him any investigation. He’s a vulnerable adult there must be a duty of care or support

@grantfeller Yet a customer in natwest locally in 2019 was asked what she wanted £5000 for she had to fill in a form, it was for a new kitchen, I was in the queue waiting to be served, it was her money .

Really disappointing that @NatWest_Help use a web chat service for nok to report a bereavement. Totally impersonal at such a difficult time. So glad I don’t actually bank with you 🥲 #NatWest #Bereavement

@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

@Wokewaster I think they turned down her expenses claim. Or told her Natwest isn't hiring.

@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.

@NatWest he’s becoming a joke amongst the clearing banks. Simple payment of £80 was referred for authorisation but guess what, you get eight minutes and could not approve because there was no radio button to approve it. No wonder it’s at the bottom of the league table for service

Is it me?
(@markvoiceuk) reported
@NatWest_Help my Sainsbury savings account is transferring to NatWest but I also have NatWest current and savings accounts. When I try and use my NatWest app the only option is a link to the transfer Hub and I cannot access my existing NatWest accounts.

@autcareandshare I’m with NatWest as soon as I walk in they ask do I need any help, always someone to help or give advice but it a smaller version of NatWest maybe that makes a difference

@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 🙄

@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.
