Just trying to order a replacement bank card because it expired and they didn’t send me a new one. I’m now three hours in and still no resolution with Cora. Reviewed on: 10th July 2025

bungling amateurish attempt at AI

1
Completely useless. Knows nothing, cannot answer the most basic questions.Gets fixated on the original request. When asking for a human there are responses like " we will respond in 220 hours, 6 hours, 4 hours... When I got a human they answered my query from scratch as soon as as I typed my question.

NatWest Bank

Hi I have called today NatWest Bank customer service for the help, I was extremely distressed and need they support and help, however after speaking with customer service I was left very disappointed with customer service. I am still shaking, awful experience. Reviewed on: 28th June 2025

Not fit for purpose

1
Extremely long waits for responses (well over an hour) not providing complete answers. Reviewed on: 9th June 2025

Nobody wants to do anything!!!

1
After getting nowhere with that silly CORA, I decided to venture into my branch, but was told to carry out the procedure online. Obviously the customer service person did not notice the computer in front of her to offer myself some assistance. It seems that the whole situation is geared up not to involve staff with any customer relationship/ Reviewed on: 6th May 2025

Like pulling your own teeth out

1
Trying to resolve an issue with Cora like pulling your own teeth out There is a default answer for all issues regarding any matter relating to, say, debit card, transactions etc When you do get through to CS (took me a day and a half) someone will contact you within an hour- you have to respond to their answer When you have responded you are then told someone will get back to you within the hour Ive been at it for 4 hours now and they are still asking me what the issue is I’m exhausted Reviewed on: 16th April 2025

Cora is stupid

1
ask Cora a question and she requires you say whether you want the answer online (???) or in the app (???). No Cora, just tell me the answer on-screen. Reviewed on: 15th April 2025

Cora is a soulless bot.

1
My father has had an account with NatWest before it was NatWest. He is now 92, with mobility problems, and our nearest branch is 10-20 miles away. He misses going into the bank to sort out his financial matters. Surely, stalwart customers who do not do online yearn for the human touch with all its nuances; however, Cora is nothing more than a soulless bot. I suggest that your over 60s telephone banking service is publicised more, and not linked as much to your online offerings. Reviewed on: 8th April 2025

So bad its a joke - if i'm calling don't tell me how...

So bad its a joke - if i'm calling don't tell me how to do in the APP!! Jesus - just let me pay a bill - so frustrating. Slow unresponsive AI, doesn't recognise anything i say, Seriously - please go back to HUMANS or UPGRADE to better AI - lots out there. Anyway closing account and moving to someone else. Ops/Tech Director / Team should be fired. Reviewed on: 17th March 2025

I didn't survive the doom loop.

I was contacted to close an inactive business account. It is with another branch of NatWest with a separate sort code. I tried using Cora on 3 occasions to close the account and transfer the balance to my current account and on each occasion it sent me into a doom loop. I am no further on and have wasted a couple of hours on a poorly performing AI system. I am seriously considering moving my active personal account from this shambolic organisation, but I can't bear the hassle.. Reviewed on: 9th March 2025
