Let’s hope that bigot who found the Halifax pronouns on Twitter too much to handle didn’t move to NatWest!
That’ll set the gammons off, willing to bet they all want to close accounts over some fake outrage
That is the only reason I found out about it. Natwest was trending on twitter and it was mostly people complaining about this.
They seem to be wanting to boycott every bank nowadays. I wonder where they will be keeping their money once they have boycotted them all?
Wasn’t disappointed
One comment is… With other people’s money 
clearly they don’t know how banks operate and make money
Imagine 
Says it all really.
Some people seem to be very disappointed that Brexit didn’t put an end to all of the things which frighten them, like foreigners and people that are different in their eyes. I don’t know why they thought it would in the first place
It’s the people who throw the ‘snowflake’ insult round first who always seem to be most triggered by things which affect them in absolutely no way.
Why do people care so much about what a company is doing for their staff? NatWest aren’t requiring their customers to do anything. I just don’t understand the anger…
Because People Who Go Puce®, whilst it’s all “freedom of speech, thoughts my own” on Twitter, don’t like to extend that courtesy to others with things they disagree with.
So glad to see other banks doing this 
From talking to people (outside of Monzo) it’s very much been a case of:
- “I am scared to come out”
- Company introduces trans healthcare / other things even though very, very few employees are publicly trans (at one company it was 0, but I knew people there who are trans)
- People come out and are very happy
They’ve had it for a few months now, has anyone tried it here? Be interested to see how it compares to flex
You’re a few months behind 
Seems to have a high bar for applications as it doesn’t even give me the option to apply, and my credit scores are either excellent or maxed out.
Sounds better than Flex to me as doesn’t have an upfront payment, just sends statements like a credit card, and is spread out over 4 months instead of essentially 2 months, as well as not being tied to being paid back from a specific account.
It’s almost as if the agencies that make up your credit score number still have no idea what the acceptance criteria are for the actual lenders 
Yeah same message I get. I had 2 credit cards with them and wondered if that was limiting it (as you can only have 2x credit products with them), closed it as I didn’t use it anyway and didn’t change. It doesn’t say anything specific about requirements on the site, but they said they have strict checks before you even apply.
Sure, but even the lenders don’t tell you what the criteria are. It has the credit score feature in the app so I presume they have that available cached somewhere, not sure what other criteria they’d have before even pulling a credit report. Most other products I’ve ever seen either say you need to have X salary or Y bank account first, this just says £10k income, have a current account and not already have BNPL from them. Beyond that is a mystery. I’d understand more being rejected after actually applying.
I am quite sure it’s not doing any sort of network request when you go to that page as it’s instant, so I think it’s using local data. I get a similar message on the overdraft page, which makes sense as I only have £33 in the current account. So maybe it does need your salary to be going though it, or at least more than £33 
I’ll funnel some money through it and see if it changes over time.
I thought the same thing. I change banks for fun at this point (I have about 16 current accounts across 7 banks) but have started to put everything through NatWest to see if I meet the criteria. Not sure how they work it out though. They give me a 15.2% Personalised Rate for a loan whereas Nationwide give me 2.9% so it’s all up in the air lol.
