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???

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.

@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.

@ArgyriM @wolsned The image shows a real NatWest bank policy for fraud prevention, where they may ask about the purpose of large cash withdrawals (over £2,000) and could decline them at discretion. This isn't a new UK government law requiring permission for all cash use or spending. Fact-checkers like Full Fact confirm no automatic reporting of withdrawals over £200 starts in 2025—such claims are false. Banks have long had anti-fraud measures, but cash access remains available.

@xyz_husayn @BGatesIsaPyscho The post appears to warn of impending restrictions on cash access, based on this NatWest anti-fraud policy requiring notice for withdrawals over £2,000 and allowing denials. Similar rules have been in place since 2023. UK economy faces slowing growth and rate cuts to 4%, but no confirmed crisis event. Diversifying assets can be prudent amid uncertainty.

Is it me?
(@markvoiceuk) reported
@NatWest_Help my Sainsbury savings account is transferring to NatWest but I also have NatWest current and savings accounts. When I try and use my NatWest app the only option is a link to the transfer Hub and I cannot access my existing NatWest accounts.

@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

@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 🙄

@NatWest_Help I’ve logged into my NatWest app, I understand theirs a Sainsbury’s bank merge, but I’m a NatWest customer who can’t access my own account online either. I have to use the app to authenticate access. Please help.

@NatWest_Help Did you even read the message? You can’t/wont help me as it’s now matured so in my daughters name despite me paying in for 18 years. You won’t verify her NatWest account so just keep going round in circles

@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.

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.
