Review of the NatWest, Everyday account:

Easier than before to use

5
I am more confident now as I have updated my email and details,which was not really easy to begin with but once finished I felt more comfortable with the app also I have chosen a new savings account recently,which normally would mean having to go to the bank in the next town as my local branch closed a while ago. I’m am very pleased with this app. Reviewed on: 3rd March 2023

Paying the price as a victim

1
I was taken in by some bit coin scammers. Natwest ear marked me as a money launderer and closed my account without warning or explanation. No one at branch level would speak to me or point me in a direction so I could defend myself, or get an explanation. This is still affecting my otherwise good credit rating and I cannot work out how to get it sorted Reviewed on: 30th August 2024

Appalling treatment of the recently bereaved.

1
Their bereavement website clearly states, in large letters: "We want to support you at this time" Nice sentiment—what a shame it is a bare-faced lie. On April 3rd of this year I notified NatWest of my mother's passing. I got a letter saying what was required. I sent in all the documents. (BER0312009) (BTW, since then, I have I sent all the documents requested, on FIVE separate further occasions.) After about six weeks, I got another letter (apparently no one at the bank has email… why?) stating I need to get my passport identification signed, which i did. It wasn't easy. I live on a small Gulf Island on the west coast of Canada. It took me two ferries and an entire day to reach my bank and have them do what was needed. Their Cora AI bot is a nightmare, but the one time the connection held, I was informed all the correct documents had been received, and the account would be closed by the bereavements team as soon as possible. But, oh dear, it was another lie. Five weeks later I heard my proof of address was out of date. (Of course it was, I had sent it MONTHS earlier by that point.) So I sent proof of addresses from the phone company, the cable company, the insurance company, AND the utilities. Yesterday I got another letter. Now, apparently, the proof of address also needs to be signed and stamped. There was no mention of this in the initial letter of requirements. And, as I said, the person on Cora said everything was okay, EIGHT weeks ago. I am at my wits' end. NatWest’s treatment of bereaved seniors is a new moral low — even by big bank standards.

Anything I've tried to do has been complicated and frustrating. Given inaccurate advice (like to get a better interest rate, empty your ISA into your current account), the chatbot makes you want to stick pins in your eyes, customer service is just appalling and they really do not care. Starling bank are an awesome alternative! Reviewed on: 9th July 2024

Very positive to still have a branch in our local town. The customer service is the best i’ve experienced with banks that i’ve been with. I do not like the online banks where i don’t have a physical branch - and every Natwest employee seems to go above and beyond for me when i go in with a problem. Reviewed on: 24th May 2024
