Terrible customer service. The man I spoke to about fraudulent usage on my stolen card practically accused me of lying. Rude, arrogant, spoke over me and repeatedly questioned my answers. Was cold and unhelpful when I asked how to appeal his decision to not refund the transactions on my card ( even though the matter was in the hands of the police and CCTV footage was available.) I have banked with NatWest for over a decade and feel totally unvalued as a customer. I will be looking to change my current / saving/ credit card accounts.

In simple terms; the complaint procedure is set up to fool the public that the bank is effectively dealing with complaints. By issuing one reference number for multiple complaints allows NATWEST to partially answer and close the complaint in a timely fashion thus beating the criteria for referring complaints to the financial ombudsman. Additionally, because the customer can not see what has been written in the complaint, the bank plays with words to make it easier to resolve in Cavour of the bank. It’s one big con hidden in plain sight. It is now clear to me why NATWEST is not part of the banking code of conduct

Avoid this company, They don't grant withdrawals. I went through hell trying to get them to pay me and all i got from them was nothing and ignored calls and emails. I had to use the services of GRavcapital, c0m to get my money back from them and i am glad it was a success.

Been reading the reviews below and exactly the same happened to me on 17th April 2023. Locked out of all of my accounts without any warning or anything. Done absolutely nothing wrong and not overdrawn etc. They said they are in their rights to tell me nothing and I will receive a letter from the ‘central bank’. Can’t tell me when this will be and wouldn’t even give me my direct debit details so I can transfer. They are the worst bank ever and do not care about their customers. Banked with them for over 20 years and now this. They treat you like you are a criminal when you have done absolutely nothing wrong and just cut everything off - savings, current account, ISA and my children’s savings. Please do not bank with them or switch banks immediately . It is criminal what they can do with know explanation or warning. Lucky for me I bank elsewhere. Good luck to anyone who does bank with NatWest!

Impossible to get any service from Nat West on Clearspend. They locked me out and then tell you their office is closed ???? This has to be the worst bank in history

Terrible service after 30 years of banking with them. Can't open a new joint account and the staff are clueless how to help with any of the digital side that keeps getting rejected, despite two branch visits and telephone chat with a member of staff. The 'not bothered' attitude amongst staff seems to be common.

Customers at NatWest for 45 yrs. it’s now a shambles, Fred Carnows Circus springs to mind. We've always been in credit. All working from home I suspect….too many paid jolly’s and bonuses for staff. Moving bank now is only sane option. They’ll fold at this rate.

The professional staff at Natwest - always excel whenever requests are made of their services, knowledge and expertise. May I take the opportunity to say 'Thank you' to Salma, Lena et al in the local branches for your one to one support. Wishing you all a fantastic start to 2023 and beyond - Shalom (Peace be unto you - words of wisdom uttered in the Tanakh, Bible and Quran - seek and ye shall find) From Cesca💜Jazz - Eschatologist & Poetess

Unfortunately after 12 years as a customer, all my accounts are being closed without any explanation and with no possibility of appeal or response to any email. I think it's horrible, against all international legal standards. I've never failed to pay any debt, by closing my account Natwest shows they are a dictatorial, undemocratic, unstable, and unreliable company that does not seek the success of its customers. I strongly advise, any business owners to don't open a business account with Natwest because of a lack of stability and trustability, you never know when they are going to close your account.

Absolutely hopeless both on line and on the phone. I have banked with them for years. Spent numerous hours trying to navigate their system and up load information. The have suspended my account 3 weeks before Christmas. The telephone team still cant explain why and the on line portal does not provide a clear explanation of what information they.require.

I have held an account with Nat West since 1969. I have not been overdrawn for over 25 years. I tend to live sensibly within my means and do not use credit cards. I decided to apply for one via Nat West. They actually asked me to prove who I was even though I have been a customer for 53 years. After 6 weeks + I had not heard from them. Upon contact I was told that they hadn't bothered to proceed with the request. I also have a deposit account with this bank which always holds more than the credit limit I was requesting from Nat.West. This bank used to give customer service they now show no appreciation whatsoever to loyal customers.

Absolutely terrible bank. They messed up my loan repayments and they are expecting me to pay for their mistake. Law suit! They broke our agreement and they expect me to pay them for what they messed up. I have never missed a payment in my life untill natwest screwed me over. Stay away from these terrorists.they broke our agreement and arrangement, they lied to me consitantly, what created more issues. A issue they created. And they want me to pay them back the erras they created after they lied, missinformed, misleading and failing to contact me to tell me this and that is happening as we agreed upon. Im taking natwest to court and By god help me i WILL sue you for your lying and incompetency and lack of professional integrity, Michael Howes! Utter financial theiving terrorists.

I hold 2 mortgages and bank with yourself for 18 years. i have via my parent's property applied for a remortgage, the property in question 33 Wolseley Road West Bromwich B70 0NQ under application 84469640 the valuer advised that this home may have been a PRC home where a local authority conducted work etc to make it structurally correct, i reached out to the local council who advised. "This property would have been refurbished whilst being a council house as we have no Building Regulation application registered. These works would have been supervised by the Housing Dept who would have dealt/held the PRC certificates. I have been asked this several times previous and the Housing Dept has informed me that they no longer hold these certificates. The only alternative you have is to contact one of the providers of these via the internet. Regards Tina Hollingworth Deputy Land Charges Officer Sandwell Council" so, i reached out to a PRC provider who only issue a certificate to PRC house that has had a licensed PRC repair. Mortgage lenders rely on the certificate to confirm that the PRC repair has been carried out to a mortgage approved scheme. i paid £1200 for this as a structural engineer also visited to ensure the property was repaired correctly, the company issued a PRC certificate which i sent to Natwest. A few days later Natwest advised they need to see the repair to the adjoining property, as this property is a semi-detached house. now the property i want to re-mortgage has the repair nevertheless i contacted the neighbour and paid £1200 for another engineer to come out and issue the certificate for next door i gave that to the neighbour as good will as they have lived there 20 years and weren’t aware they need this. so, I have paid for 2 certificates £2400 and now been told that I need to request one from another company, why are you telling now after paying for 2 certificates couldn’t you tell me at the start who you would like to see this from? The company I have got the cert from is a verified home provider they have issued the cert why cause all this headache, there would be a simple solution for you to issue the mortgage out.

Absolute Joke!!! Block access to all my accounts 48 hours ago with no warning or explanation. I have no access to money or Payee details, not to mention declined card payments and direct debits. After numerous phone calls I'm told a certain department with no name or contact number will be in touch.....Still waiting. I will be switching my accounts and I would think very carefully before opening an account with these utter clowns
