@org_scp @HHelenakhl @NatWest_Help In conversation with someone in NatWest HO early 2021 after the loss of my mother, re misinformation about a local branch & services I was told that all branches would close & everyone at HO was aware hence service reductions. Someone on twitter called me a liar.

Credit where it is due. Samantha at Natwest got it sorted and compensated me for the problems. Well done to her. @NatWest_Help should be grateful. @AskNationwide the ball is in your court to keep me as a customer.

Going around in circles, neither @NatWest_Help nor @pandocruises are helping! Natwest have said P&O can't take the money and it bounces back and P&O say they don't have an issue with the payments system. 🙈 Do you want the money or not???

Spare a thought for the poor guys who have to deal with customers driven out of their minds by the digitised automatic ways that banks deal with problems/queries now ...#natwest

@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.

European shares posted their first weekly loss in four weeks, with the STOXX 600 down 0.6%, as banking stocks dragged markets lower. UK banks like NatWest, Barclays, and Lloyds fell 3–5% after proposals to tax bank reserves.

whether the tax evasion was deliberate, to try to get away with minimising her upfront costs so she could afford her £650,000 Natwest mortgage (which is likely to cost in the region £4,000 a month to service)." He called for "a full investigation into this matter and consider

@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.

@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.

Went into a NatWest today and there was a corporate notice about an ATM dispensing £50 notes. Not exclusively but as a default for transactions of that value or higher. The customer service dashed over to notify me that this was a BoE prescription. A signal? @DominicFrisby

@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.
