Biometric face CrAPP

Biometric face recognition is awful on this app...... Just spent 10 mins blinking at my phone to approve a change of address, then another 5 mins to remove the biometric. Sort it out Natwest or remove this frustrating feature please.

The biometric camera is useless

The biometric camera is useless. I might as well take a photo with my Agfa camera, go to the chemist and wait a week to get the film developed. It would still be quicker. Absolutely useless if you wanna send over a £1000 to someone

Trying to transfer money overseas is a…

Trying to transfer money overseas is a nightmare. You must use Facial recognition, which does not work. Used currency direct instead, much simpler and a better rate. Been with Natwest for years, but not for much longer unless they fix the app.

Biometric DOES NOT WORK

This has to be one of the worst apps ever.To delete it has to work, Some bright spark of a delvoper must have thought this a good security measure. Nat west do not want to know and continually send Set Up instructions.I've spent weeks trying to get it to work. I think it's time to say Good BYE.

Initial voice response is incorrect

When ringing to make a complaint. It says have your claim reference and 4 digit pin which you will find on all letters relating to the claim.
I have had many letters that do not have a 4 digit pin.

Im sorry I cannot have confidence when they give incorrect information.

Ev time you want to buy something…

Every time you want to buy something online you have to approve it in the app,by the time you do this usually something as gone wrong or you can't get back into the site you were on. Had enough now so changing banks.

Biometric approval is a joke

Biometric approval is a joke. It just isn't efficient. Regularly doesn't recognise my face. Just spent forever trying to approve a transaction and I've given up now. Tried to remove the function and - had to give biomentric approval in order to remove biometric approval!! Pure Catch 22.

Tried removing the app and re-installing but that didn't work so I've given up now and had to ring them and spend ages on the phone getting them to remove it from their end. Because its a Saturday, it won't actually get removed till Tuesday but at least it will go. At least the people I spoke to at their end were polite and helpful.

Natwest need to do something to make their biometric approval process a great deal more efficient.

Credit card issue - indemnity claim

I am trying to sort out a credit card issue. I have telephoned customer services, but no action has been taken. Yesterday, I went to a NatWest branch and they gave me a complaints leaflet. I toLd them my problem was concerning a credit card, but I find when I go online, there is no option to choose credit card complaint. I am not ringing again as I am not waiting over 30 mins for an answer. I need a complaints form for credit card issues.

Utterly useless

Utterly useless. Can’t make any payment now. System keeps refusing to accept me and sends me back to the blinking start every time. Can’t even delete the biometric change, because I have to blink!,!
