My NBS account ends in X’X. When I’ve tried to set up a new payee NatWest is rejecting the Personal Identifier as it has an apostrophe. Anyone else had this issue.

Yep, me too - 14% mortgage when we got married.  My son didn't believe me either when he took out a fix last year at less than 2%.

Me too too - my payments almost doubled between when I applied for the mortgage and when I completed on the property. Think it was at its height of 15% by then. Quite a shock to the budget and definitely a struggle for a while. It was a new build and hard enough to buy the required carpets and curtains -  and that was in the days of few coffees out and meals only on special occasions and certainly no expensive tech! Someone quoted the other day that housing cost is now over 28% of monthly budget, I think it was nearer 78% in those days, well, it felt like it. (Omg turning into a grumpy old person) 

But it was a lot easier to cope with back then as house prices were a lot lower compared to incomes. Im not saying for you personally but in general terms.

Plus at the time 70s/80s early 90s, interest rates were already bouncing around 10% so going up by around 6 bps although a lot is not quite the shock of 0.1% to 5%.

There shouldn't be an apostrophe in your account number.

The last three characters of your account number are made up from the first 3 letters of your surname.

I would think in this case it is best to speak to Newcastle BS over the phone to check that they say.

Hope this is the right forum for this, but I just got a text message from SecureTrust Bank for my Access Account (issue 7), the interest is going up (finally):
4.07% gross pa ( was 3.78% gross pa) / 4.15% AER (was 3.85 AER)

This is going up from 04-JUL-2023.
Doesn't show on their website yet.

I think what could be causing it is if OPs surname is down as O'Leary or something, some kind of O apostrophe thing. Perhaps they need to change it on their system to exclude the apostrophe, OLeary for example, to have OLE rather than O'L at the end.

In NBS T&C it gives cut off time for same day funding as 4 pm.

Where did you see this? On the T + C's I'm looking at it says the cut off time is 4pm for withdrawals (which will clear by the end of the next working day):



For payments in it doesn't mention any cut off time:

On the snail mail letter I received today it says this: 

Do you have an apostrophe in your name?
