A user said, "Like countless others cannot access my account either online or via the app! Please sort this or give an update as to what is happening - no good just asking for a DM!"
Despite exerting their frustration out at the company and inquiring about both the issue and its resolution, some users seemed more worried about if they would be charged for attempting to make digital transactions or pay their bills during the downtime.
"App and online banking down, I'm sure you are aware, hopefully, customers who can't access their accounts to pay bills and make transfers won't be charged any fees applied by Natwest?!" another user asked.
Addressing troubled users, official account of Natwest posted on X (formerly Twitter), "We're aware that customers currently aren't able to access their app or online banking, adding that they've reported this internally and the issue was being looked into by the tech team.
"We're hoping this will be resolved as soon as possible," the post added.
