Anyone know anything about it please?


I think it‘s about sharing customer data with other banks so that
they can offer/pester you with better deals. Supposed to make banks
more competitive. Personally I have no intention of allowing my bank
to share my data like this.


You can thank the EU for the idea.


Personally I know no-one who has asked for it.


I would avoid giving anything to Natwest.


A charity of chich I am chairman is trying to change the signatoies on
our account. so far 3 months have passed. We call them NatWorst


Believe me, Lloyds is just as bad at doing the same thing.


and from a previous experience with a different charity and Barclays, I
know they're useless as well. That took 7 months!
