  Joanne Timms (@LdnCinders) reported 7 minutes ago from Croydon, England

  @sainsburys I just said they reported no issues! I literally just messaged natwest themselves. I'll shop elsewhere as every other website is processing payments via visa fine apart from yours. Who knew it this hard to order soap powder and bleach?

  @NatWest_Help NatWest, Please fix this flaw in your card system. You changed my digital card number before I have access to my new card, therefore my iPhone payments don't work, I just was completely stranded not realising I would need my plastic card to make payments

  @NatWest_Help getting a replacement card appears to be mission impossible with NatWest. Currently having a conversation in the app and the agent replies after one hour! What is your excuse @NatWest? Worst bank ever

  @NatWest_Help Embarrassed at the lack of help you have shown in a cost of living crisis. Separating from my partner and selling the house. You offer us a new 2 year mortgage deal when my rate ran out? #natwest #jokebank Been with you over 25 years. #mse

  For all the chat about how incumbents are lagging - NatWest is showing how it should be done. Deep Innovation, working with regulators, delivering new services at a scale others can only dream of. Let’s see if that forces some of the laggards to - finally - act.

  This means that she @NatWest_Help stole the cash and withdrew the same amount from the customer's account. The customer is now out of pocket twice the amount. Natwest is simply disputing this and covering it up. More employees may be involved so always check your receipts.

  @MartinSLewis The BBC had a piece on their website yesterday about cheques from HMRC not scanning on the app and she had to go miles to pay it in. My elderly housebound mum had the same problem this year. My sister tried to scan and pay it but it wouldn’t work on the NatWest app.

  UK stocks to watch — Fri 31 July Month-end, and a strong handover: FTSE futures +0.4% after Asia’s violent rebound — KOSPI up as much as 17%, Samsung and SK Hynix near +30%. NatWest — H1 results, the third big domestic bank in four days, and the pattern hasn’t been kind: Barclays was the FTSE’s biggest faller on its own results day Tuesday. NatWest arrives off a Q1 that delivered 18.2% return on tangible equity and £1.4bn attributable profit. What moves the stock won’t be the profit line — it’ll be margin guidance into a BoE that just showed three hawks. Taylor Wimpey — the most interesting setup on the board. Sell-side positioning is unusually hostile: Goldman cut it to a sell in May, and the broker split now runs 1 buy, 2 hold, 3 sell. It reports into a rate market that spent yesterday removing hike risk — September odds fell to 40% from above 50%. Low expectations plus a friendlier discount rate is how surprises happen. Watch the order book and margin guidance, not completions. ITV — H1 results. UK advertising is the cleanest read on domestic corporate confidence there is. Tech trusts — Scottish Mortgage, Polar Capital Tech. Microsoft and Amazon proving AI demand produced a 17% KOSPI day. The UK vehicles are the second-order beneficiary, and they’ve been sold hard for a fortnight. $EZJ — last session before Castlelake’s firm-offer deadline on Monday. Apollo’s follows on Friday. Whatever happens now happens fast. Oil majors — Exxon and Chevron report today, after Shell’s $9.8bn came largely from trading and refining rather than production. If the US majors show the same composition, that’s a sector-wide signal: the money in this crisis is in moving barrels, not owning them. The month that was: the FTSE 100 touched a record high this week. The KOSPI is down ~25% in July, its worst month since 1997. Same AI story, opposite ends — because London owns almost none of it. The index everyone calls old-fashioned just won a month by not owning the thing everyone wanted. Worth remembering next time that’s framed as a weakness.

  @johntierney73 @NnatMmac @NatWest I worked in fraud for a bank. It is possible. You gave your pin to someone or set it to something they could work out, and they had your card. There are other ways like they had access to your Internet banking which told them your pin but that’s less likely due to 2FA.

  @Feargal_Sharkey @NatWestGroup It was the public authorities that delayed it that long you halfwit. The plans were formed in 1940s (public control) The land was bought in 1975 (public control) Plans were dropped in 1976 after a Public Inquiry on the back of NIMBYism (public ownership) Plans were revised in the mid 90s and not pursued as there was not sufficient identified demand. Mid West water only merged with SE water in 2007 so the history has nothing to do with them. Nat West's Pension Fund owns a 25% stake, not NatWest. Plans were revised in 2013 and hit the usual barrier - locals, NIMBYs and organised groups have been campaigning against it for decades. So sure, it's all down to the evil privatised companies

  NatWest Group $NWG completed the acquisition of Evelyn Partners with an enterprise value of £2.7 billion on 30 June 2026. The acquisition transforms NatWest Group's financial planning and investment management capabilities, and it is expected to generate pre-revenue synergies of 20%, increasing fee income and boosting exposure to the structurally higher growth UK wealth market. Evelyn Partners had £69 billion of Assets Under Management and Administration at the end of 2025, which combined with NatWest Group's £59 billion, would have brought total AUMA to £127 billion and total Customer Assets and Liabilities to £188 billion, or c.20% of NatWest Group's CAL.

  Joint borrowers earning £150,000+ can now borrow up to 6.5× their income. NatWest will lend at 6.5× for higher earners, but only if they’re borrowing 75% LTV or less. Pros Higher borrowing power — High income earners can access larger mortgages, which helps in expensive markets like London where property prices are high. More competitive offering — NatWest becomes more attractive to wealthy buyers who might otherwise go to specialist lenders. Useful for joint high earners — Couples earning £150k+ combined can stretch further to buy homes in premium areas. Potentially better rates — The article notes NatWest often has best buy rates, so borrowers may get both a high LTI and a good interest rate. Cons Higher financial risk — Borrowing 6.5x income is a big commitment. If interest rates rise or income drops, repayments can become stressful. Lower LTV allowed — To borrow at 6.5x, you must have at least a 25% deposit. That’s a huge barrier for many people. Only for high earners — This doesn’t help average income buyers struggling with affordability. It widens the gap between who can and can’t buy. Could push prices up — Allowing people to borrow more can fuel higher property prices, especially in already expensive areas. This move is good for wealthy buyers who want bigger loans, but it does nothing for regular earners and may even increase market pressure. It’s a strategic play by NatWest to attract high income clients, not a broad affordability solution.
