  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

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

  Cash machines and bank branches have been disappearing across Britain, even though many basic card and PIN problems still require an ATM or in-person banking service. UK regulators and LINK data show a sharp reduction in free-to-use ATMs and ongoing branch closures, while millions of people still rely on cash access. The debate over access to cash, digital banking, NatWest, HSBC, Lloyds and bank branch closures raises serious questions about who modern banking is actually designed for.

  @SayNo2SizewellC What do you believe you know that the planning authorities, Natwest and Bpifrance Assurance Export (the insurers/underwriters) do not? And secondly, do you not see the irony of opposing a clean energy project, the success of which help prevent sea level rise?

  @TNLUK I still can't add my card. I have a new card I believe your system blocked it I don't think NatWest will block it for no reason

  @RupertLowe10 @ShapoMelon @Asmongold I gave up on him when he abandoned all those people he promised to help who had been Debanked. He got his NatWest payoff. Shut down the website. And never mentioned it again.

  @thetimepls @deirdrecostigan It’s a shame the conversation turns toward blaming communities, rather than focusing on how service reductions by NatWest impact places like Southall.

  @UltraDane Had the same problem with NatWest in 2022, but I wasn't even withdrawing the money, I was trying to buy a car using a bank transfer. They wouldn't do it, even after going through multiple security checks, unless I told them all the details about the car I was buying.

  @HJB_News__ She hasn’t done **** all she needs to get back in her NatWest queue telling people to get in the queue that’s all she ******* qualifies for

  @thejamieseymour @CallumLyon They will. This is the problem. At any point in life you can just say ‘it’s all ****’ Yes ‘a lot of mortgage lenders won’t consider overtime’ but you only need ONE mortgage company to accept your application. NatWest accept overtime as income

  @Leighlines @AllegroEddie NatWest tried this **** with me when trying to transferring funds using the app (transfer to another account of mine, not a new one). Log in via website and won’t be needed.
