Original story (published on May 10, 2022) follows:
Natwest bank (also known as National Westminster Bank) is a UK institution that offers financial services.
Like other similar institutions, Natwest bank users have access to multiple services such as bank accounts, loans, credit cards, interests on savings accounts, financing, etc.
Many users trust Natwest bank to save, store and manage their money. However, there is currently a serious issue that could negatively impact their funds.
According to multiple reports, Natwest bank transactions are being duplicated or charged twice for many (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11).
Natwest bank transactions duplicated or charged twice
Currently, users are facing an issue where multiple operations appear as duplicated. This prevents users from accessing all of their money, as duplicated transactions are also deducted from their funds.
The irregular situation makes affected users fear about the destination of their funds. Also, the issue is causing a lot of problems for those users who have pending payments.
Natwest bank team is already aware
The Natwest team is already aware of the issue and is working on a fix. However, there are no details yet on an ETA for a fix.
We will update this story once new details on the matter emerge in the future.
