  @DustyBo80599309 @SophieP25397 £23bn from “9 years ago”? Mate, the bailouts were 2007-09. That’s not “9 years ago”. Your £23bn figure was a 2018 OBR snapshot, not a live invoice. We’ve fully exited every single intervention — final NatWest shares sold May 2025. No ring-fenced ‘bailout debt’ still sitting there waiting for your PAYE. Debt is aggregate. Interest is paid on the total stock. Treating it like a personal loan you’re still ‘funding’ is pure fantasy accounting. And spare us the ‘hitting the vulnerable while ignoring tax dodgers’ sermon. Legal tax avoidance isn’t theft, and the alternative to those bailouts was depositors queuing outside branches and the entire system melting down. You’d have been first in the queue complaining about that too. Next.

  Just moved another £3,000 into my NS&I Premium Bonds. It came from money sitting in my NatWest account that I kept dipping into whenever I needed it. I’ve now only got around £1,000 left in that account, with another £2,000 salary due tomorrow. The idea is simple: if the money isn’t sat in my current account, I’m less tempted to transfer it back and spend it. Sometimes the best financial decisions aren’t about earning a higher return-they’re about making it harder to spend. Has anyone else changed the way they organise their money to help them save more?

  @stevemiddi1 @ArturNadol7566 @LloydsBank I have the internal Natwest interest forecasts and they were all going down at that time.

  🚨 THE INSTITUTIONAL PAYMENT RACE HAS SIX CLEAR FRONT-RUNNERS. 🚨 $XRP $XLM $QNT $LINK $XDC $HBAR I ranked them by something more important than attention: Who is already connected to banks, payment companies, market infrastructure and real settlement activity? 1. $XRP The strongest direct bridge-asset design. XRP can provide temporary liquidity between currencies, helping payment companies avoid keeping money trapped in accounts around the world. Ripple’s full MiCA authorisation now gives its regulated crypto services access across the European Economic Area. 2. $XLM The strongest remittance and stablecoin network. Stellar recorded $5.5 billion in stablecoin payment volume during Q1 2026. MoneyGram also continues connecting Stellar-based digital dollars with cash access, and DTC expects tokenised assets to become available on Stellar in 2027. 3. $QNT The interoperability layer. Quant’s Fusion Rollup connects 74 networks, while UK Finance is testing tokenised bank deposits with Barclays, HSBC, Lloyds, NatWest, Nationwide and Santander. 4. $LINK The institutional connection and data layer. DTCC is integrating Chainlink into its Collateral AppChain for pricing, valuation and near-real-time collateral movement, with production expected in Q4 2026. 5. $XDC The trade-finance specialist. Native USDC and CCTP V2 are live on XDC, strengthening its position for cross-border settlement, receivables and tokenised trade assets. 6. $HBAR The enterprise settlement network. Archax is already using Hedera for tokenised securities whose USDC cash flows automatically follow ownership in near real time. One moves liquidity. One connects money with people. One links banking systems. One delivers trusted data and instructions. One modernises global trade. One supports regulated enterprise assets. Institutions will not choose only one rail. They will need an entire financial stack. These six are already positioning themselves inside it.

  c22cuk COMMENT: State Supported COMPLICITY? BANK CONFIDENTIAL @BankConfidenti1 - An independent report exposing concealed credit-line risk, systemic fraud and regulatory failure across Major Banks shown below. How many unknowingly in the ROI and UK have succumbed to these alleged FRAUDS and remain unaware, do read the Lorraine Morris @MLorrM Bank Confidential attachment in her Post (and her own summary statement contained therein) and if it triggers doubt, suspicion and concern in your mind that you might have been duped, Lorraine will no doubt point you in the direction of possible help - It would appear that these Frauds are still ongoing. The banking misconduct detailed in the Bank Confidential reports primarily occurred in the buildup to, during, and after the global financial crisis, broadly spanning from 2000 to 2017 (with certain related over-charging practices and legal disputes continuing to this day). The primary Banks named are - NatWest Group (formerly Royal Bank of Scotland Group) RBS-Global Restructuring Group (GRG) NatWest Ulster Bank Lloyds Banking Group (including HBOS) Barclays HSBCCoutts (a private banking subsidiary of NatWest Group) “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing”.

  @Fraudly_ Barclays, HSBC NatWest and Lloyds all do this why are you lying? So you’re telling me if a joint account has an overdraft a bank is going to let operations on that account continue? Some remove the OD entirely while some banks freeze the account. Stop chatting ****.

  @Mickskinz Web: Microsoft sign-in helper - has the option that you’ve forgotten all your sign in details. I had a nightmare with a fraudulent DD on PayPal. I complained, they did FA. Contacted my bank, NatWest, which cancelled DD and refunded me the money that had been taken. Good luck!

  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.
