    @RedLetterDaysUK Hi, I just exchanged some Natwest rewards into vouchers and purchased an experience using some of the vouchers. I have £120 worth of vouchers & have redeemed one experience to the value of £75. However the website is saying I’ve redeemed them all?

    @NatWest_Help are there any issues today with receiving faster payments ? I sent an FP this morning from @Barclays earlier today and it hasn’t been credited to my NatWest account

  • nachvid NachV (@nachvid) reported from Rushden, England

    @BarclaysUKHelp @NatWest_Help I made payment at 11:43 and it’s still not reached my NatWest account - can someone please assist me as it’s a large sum of money & this delay shouldn’t be occurring if the FPS is working fine

  • nachvid NachV (@nachvid) reported from Rushden, England

    @Barclays is there any issue with your faster payment services ? I have done a transfer which hasn’t yet reached my NatWest UK account - it’s usually immediate or as good as. I did this payment earlier this morning. TIA

    @GregClinker Net losses to the U.K. government were c £25bn. Not a tiny sum. But only £700bn short of what you claim. A third of this was to save NatWest retail bank. It's really mortgages in America which caused this issue. We need innovation in the City urgently.

    @Janetsk20073533 @jos02611 Some people called Jarnail Singh a legal expert, others a post box. At one time Nick Gould was considered a great help to some in the PO scandal whilst also being a total disaster by Natwest victims. It's dificult to gauge, for lay people, who is actually good for them ....

    · 1dPrem Sikka @premnsikka.bsky.social NatWest to give further £1.5bn to shareholders weeks after UK govt sold the final part of its stake in the bailed-out bank. Govt bailed it out for £45bn. After rescue, sold shares at £10.5bn loss. Now bonanza for shareholders. City always wins. People get cuts higher taxes, benefit/service cuts.

    @David__Osland Would not recommend RBS - their customer services department seems like it’s run by front line staff with a lack of training & oversight AVOID! Part of NatWest group so avoid them too @RBS_Help @NatWest_Help

    @nick_taylor2 Hey Nick! I hope your well, I know this must be frustrating as you would want this set up asap! Let me take some info from you in order to look into this further or at least point you in the right direction - Are you already a Natwest customer? - Nicola (1/2)

    @NatWest_Help Natwest please respond to this! Just sent this to Natwest... I need some urgent help. Earlier today you did one of those transaction check texts to which i replied Y. It was for a sandwich from Gregga I later tried to use my card to charge my car at marks and spencer. It was declined several times. I telephoned natwest and was told the card would work. I went in marks and spencer and again my card was declined several times. I have apoken to 5 people at natwest. Have been told several times the card would work but it wouldnt. I was then told by natwest staff it was nothing i had done and there was nothing suspicious on my account. It was a 'bank policy' but they could/would not tell me what policy. So i have done nothing wrong, my card allegedly isnt blocked but m@s took my food off me and i am now sat in the car park unable to charge my car or get home. I have been asked if there is a Tesco near. I have no idea. You want me to walk down the motorway?!!! I am now stranded. I asked the natwest staff if i was a little old lady or disabled person would they leave me stranded? I was told yes. Please advise what i do!!!!! This was the reply... 5:39 pm Hi Matthew. I appreciate it’s not ideal to be faced with this, especially when needing to charge your car to get home, so I do completely understand your frustration. Just to be honest with you, if a payment has been declined due to bank policy, there wouldn’t be anything we can do to override this sadly. The Bank has mechanisms in place to protect you from transactions that may have been classified as high risk. Due to the quantity and pace of transactions that are made on a daily basis, Bank Policies are constantly needing to adjust due to Industry trends. And as a result, transactions that were previously approved now may be declined. We are unable to provide specific details of the policy itself, nor can we say if this will always be the case. The Bank has these policies in place purely to keep yourself and your money safe and secure. Would you have access to another card you could use to make the payment from in the meantime? ~Emma I replied 5:55 pm No. Its the only card i have. Im stranded No reply from natwest 6:07 pm What kind of company is this?! 6:17 pm I am stranded because of natwest. Please do not ignore me 6:19 pm ? Still no reply and funnily enough no promised call back from anyone at natwest. This is appalling

    @AndrewDowson @peggy_stu @JimRoyleJnr Natwest: I once forgot to date an employees pay cheque. They paid, then took back the money causing a mortgage payment to bounce. They charged me a large fee. I said I would canvass business friends to guage other banks. No, please don't do that Mr Hayes. Problem solved.

    @NatWest_Help Sent you a DM now @NatWest_Help - basically outlining how NatWest have totally lost the customer focus and care. They rely on automated systems and automated updates rather than provide a solution for their customers to work with them. Computer says no! Awful.

    Natwest made £4.5 billion last year yet they wont pay for receptionists to answer their calls and instead put customers through a stressful wrangle with a **** AI.

    @NatWest_Help My elderly mother has always been with #Natwest but she is constantly frauded/scammed. NW's only answer is to cancel & reissue cards. I've spent hours dealing with her problems,it never gets better despite the restrictions on her card. I'm moving her account.
