NatWest Business Banking reviews (186)

Ver bad customer service from Robert

1
I have made a customer call on 21 October 2020 at 18:53 and the agent named Robert has answered the call. He started to ask inappropriate queries. I found he seemed very rude and Natwest bank didn't train their customer agents such Robert how to offer a good customer service. I lodge a complaint however I feel this bank has failed to provide better service as other banks offer in the UK. Reviewed on: 21st October 2020

Awful awful service

1
So basically, if anything goes wrong with any of the processes, you need to chase. They won't contact you. Anything to do with changing signatories is just impossible. Reviewed on: 5th October 2020

Over 3.5h and counting waiting line

1
I have been waiting for 3+ to speak to someone on the phone for a serious issue. They have transfered me twice to wrong departments even though it was clear and obvious which department it should have gone to in the first place. Reviewed on: 24th September 2020

Useless

1
The only good thing about Natwest is the app. Other than that they are useless. Making payments is a nightmare they block payments. Being able to spend your money has never been so difficult and stressful. Been on the phone for 1.5 hours today trying to pay an invoice. Been trying to pay this invoice for 3 days absolutely ridiculous. I have been with many banks this is hands down the worst I have ever dealt with. I will be changing asap.

2 months on and still no 2nd business account.

1
Shocking. Trying to open a current account so my new business can trade. Not seeking a loan, just the ability to employ people and meet consumer demand in an economic crisis about to cause millions of redundancies. That's us trying to do our bit, it would be nice if the bank could do their basic job. Reviewed on: 4th August 2020

Easy Business Banking

5
We have always found our business account most easy and efficient. Starting out with an actual Business Manager at our branch, we now do it all online. Direct Debits are so easy to set up, as our payments in from our credit card facility. On the rare time we have had a difficulty (one supplier set up a 2nd direct debit by mistake) we got instant help to sort it out, refund us and leave us not out of pocket. With instant confirmation of what funds are in our accounts we can keep on top of our finances - one less thing to worry about in these challenging times. Reviewed on: 10th July 2020

30 years banking with them but, ready to jump ship. TERRIBLE

1
I have been trying to open a second business bank account since 17th May, it is now the 1st of July and it still isn't open. I have been on hold for a total of 8.7 hours across 9 weeks. I have today decided to leave the bank. THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING ME THROUGH COVID-19 AND MAKING MY ENTIRE BUSINESS FOLD Reviewed on: 30th June 2020
