I have used NatWest mobile banking for years and have always been very happy with it until the last few fays. I do a lot of shopping on the shopping chanel web site with no problems until the last 3 days. Everything is ok until I go to pay and send my order, then I get a message saying I have to go to my NatWest mobile app and approve the transaction, I do this to no avail, and have to keep repeating this action. I have rung the bank numerous times who tell me they can't see a problem as everyth

Terrible, i have been unable to use the app since installing and uninstalling then reinstalling for over a week now , the online chat service is abysmal, no one responds and my card has been declined for every transaction. I have tried contacting customer services on the phone and regardless of what i say to the automated service i am always transferred to the fraud department

One of the easy-to-use apps out there (lining among Monzo & Starling when it comes to being convenient and efficient). I like how you can customize some of its sections. Only issue here is it will take time for someone to set a Standing Order. Also, if they can make both acct number & sort code ready-to-copy and paste that would be truly awesome!!!
