Meets the essentials

Does everything you need to but the app can be confusing to navigate if you're not technology fluent Reviewed on: 13th January 2025

Loss of funds and appalling service

1
First they declared my bank account dormant. Closed it and took all the money. It's almost impossible to contact their customer services. They don't answer emails. Their chatline doesn't work and you can't change your phone number to make a complaint because the website crashes Reviewed on: 27th December 2024

They seem to have the time to listen to what you have to say...This in itself,is the most important coustomer relation Reviewed on: 5th December 2024

Poor customer service

2
I've been a client with the bank for 14 years but the service throughout especially when it had to do with scams that can happen in someone's life was really poor. Even for the case I indicated explicitly the scamming institutions they preferred to do nothing. It's an archaic institution. Reviewed on: 3rd October 2024

Calling the bank used to be easy.sy.

Calling the bank used to be easy. Now you get an ear bashing and forced to listen to negative reasons why ringing up is a bad idea. It leaves you feeling very angry and totally abandoned. Reviewed on: 3rd September 2024

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
