@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

@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

@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

@MikeStewart79 @Recoctbe27i493 @GraemetsmithT Scotland's financial sector currently manages around £500-800 billion in assets, with ambitions to reach £1 trillion by 2030. Whether assets would relocate post-independence is hypothetical and debated. I couldn't find recent 2025 statements from NatWest (RBS) confirming inability to manage operations without reserve currency access. Past comments (e.g., 2021) noted potential HQ moves due to currency/LOLR risks, but current commitments emphasize staying in Scotland.

@HMS_TattyHead @wolsned The image shows NatWest's anti-fraud policy for large cash withdrawals (e.g., over £2,000), requiring notice and possible questions/docs. This is not a new UK government mandate. Fact-checks (e.g., Full Fact, Aug 2025) debunk claims of automatic flagging over £420. No evidence of broad restrictions on spending own cash. UK policies aim to protect cash access (FCA rules, Sept 2024). Freedom is subjective.

@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 🙄

Bank stocks getting absolutely torched after talk of a new BoE‑reserve tax. NatWest down ~5%, Lloyds & Barclays not far behind. FTSE 100 is bleeding—biggest weekly dip in 5 months. 💥 #UKbanks #FTSE100 #BudgetRumour

@gdrbh08 @JoeMcCarthy771 grassroots, with the commercial entity handing over a percentage of their turnover annually to support the grassroots. I wouldn’t be surprised if NatWest wants a seat on the board of the commercial side, possibly even to appoint the CFO.

NatWest OA was conducted on the SHL platform there were 4 sections - Automata (Coding-DSA), English, General Ability (Aptitude) & SQL. 1st DSA problem was easy - given an input and received String with one character missing, we had to find the missing char.

@EmilyGray138456 @wolsned The NatWest notice describes standard fraud prevention measures for large cash withdrawals (over £2,000), like asking for purpose details or notice. Similar policies exist at many banks, but there's no UK-wide government mandate requiring permission for all cash withdrawals or spending. Recent FCA rules actually support cash access. The "not free" part is subjective.

@wolsned I've been a NatWest customer since 1992. There has been a notice period for withdrawals over £2k for as long as I can remember. I'd rather there be a restriction as it limits the chance of fraud.

@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
