Personal Natwest Arvostelua 

I visited Nat West today in Yeovil and was served by a lady called Annette.
They couldn't have been more efficient, kind and professional.
They helped me with my online banking account.
I am confident giving 5 star for my visit.

The most frustrating app I have encountered you could not have NatWest as your only payment method. The biometrics setup is useless !!!

I'll be closing my accounts with Natwest shortly and switching to a different bank.

Making the use of facial biometrics mandatory was a ridiculous decision. Not only does it clearly not work for most people, causing massive issues and headaches as demonstrated by the multitude of other negative reviews, but to mandate it in the first place is absurdly invasive. There was nothing wrong with fingerprint biometrics - it was secure and it worked. I am able to view things like my card details via fingerprint-only biometrics with my other bank, which is more than secure enough.

Sort this ridiculousness out Natwest.

Biometrics is absolutely atrocious. Didnt recognise me so many times it locked me out of account!!!! Checked the mirror twice and I m still me!!! When I googled how to remove biometrics Natwest site said to log on to the App to do that.....I can't because ime not recognised ....Good grief , complete cockwombles!!

Changed address. Two months later NatWest has not changed my address online. Their online chat is useless - a waste of my time and still not changed!

Just tried to pay large tax bill, biometrics frozen . Bank b ranch 18miles away, am 82 cannot drive as have cataracts. What am I sposed to Do NatWest. Have been customer for over 60years. Makes me want tocry

Biometrics does not work and Nat West are dead to their customers. I changed to Halifax whose app works fine without this nonsense with excellent customer service to boot. I also use Starling for day to day shopping. Best thing everyone can do when Nat West can’t be bothered to deal with customers or change their app (not being able to read one’s own debit card without face recognition? No - Just No) is to leave.

I’ve been happily using the NatWest app for years and then it asked me to set up biometrics, I did but tbh didn’t see the point as was already using Apple Face ID just fine. Now it never recognises my face and it’s infuriating as it’s literally my face what do you expect me to do?! So i keep getting the app locked, went to actual online banking to remove biometrics and it asked to confirm mobile number, then said my number was updated, I’ve had the same number for 16 years! Now the app says I can’t set it up because my number has changed and I have to wait 3 working days. The inconvenience is unbelievable! Just had to dig out the card reader to bank transfer the exceptional sum of £30 to my mother in law. I’m furious!

ONE STAR IS TO MUCH. no zero option. What a dismal experience !!. Avoid at all costs !. customer service is non existant. no respect for customers time. lack of info available. online chat is a waste of time and conks out. complaints department put down the phone after you have waited in the que. keep it under your pillow. this lot dont deserve to exist ! bunch of complete clowns !. how can anyone be stupid enough to trust them with money !!!. financial institution---- your kidding right !!. muppet show more like.

I liked the NatWest app until I was asked to use biometrics. System says it recognises my face, but then tells me that it is not working - does not give a reason. Have loaded and then deleted the biometrics a number of times over several days trying, unsuccessfully, to change a standing order. Have got very frustrated and finally given up! The helpline told me that the system must be down!

I was successfully using NatWest biometrics on my old iPhone 11. I successfully registered my details for biometric approval on a new iPhone 15 but am still asked for my login number every time I use the app. Cora ‘chat’ is completely unhelpful and has no solution to offer.

Only gave 1 star because no facility to give zero. Awful invention because it does not work and it is now affecting my business big time. Biometrics keeps saying I am not recognised this week, despite working okay for 2 years. Now it keeps locking me out. NatWest please sort now!!!

All of a sudden biometrics doesn’t recognise my face no matter what I do, keeps locking my account. Don’t know what to do so started to use another bank as I cannot make any app payments with NatWest now and the whole thing is useless and frustrating. Horrible!!

Biometrics is a shambles. Doesn't recognise me at all. Completely ruined it with face recognition. Finger print was good enough.

Now I'm having to delay payments because I don't have my card reader on me to issue payments online.

Absolute joke.

Having massive issues with the biometric feature after it forced me to use it to set up a standing order. Found the app really useful and easy to use beforehand but not now.

Biometrics is the absolute worst. Can't do anything. To remove Biometrics..I need to provide Biometrics m which don't work. customer service haven't been any help at all.
App was fine without this face recognistion. They've just ruined it now

Sort this out natwest! What are you playing at? This is not a new problem! The hassle I have been through today to reactivate my app because of your problem is pathetic.
It's a good idea to have extra security but it's also a good idea to trust the people looking after my money.
I followed all instructions carefully numerous times, it simply doesn't work

Get blank screen on biometric approval whenever I am forced to set it up. Unable to see my card details without it. This app is untested.

They ruined the app with the facial recognition crap. Now I'm unable to send any money. Did they test this feature at all?! 15 years with Natwest now it's time to move on.

I have switch to Biometrics and for nd it ‘blinking impossible’ what a crock.
Not been able to activate at all so decided to remove. Can’t remove as I can’t get it to activate.

What I can’t understand is how they can continue to use when the feedback is so poor. The App as a whole is so I but to use biometrics is spoiling the whole experience.
