Re: tried to open new bank acc and the didn't allowed..
She was no doubt trying to force you to switch your Barclays account to Natwest. They are heavily incentivized to open "active" banking accounts and will try any trick to convince you to switch your account and transfer your direct debits, standing orders and salary payments. Advisors who open accounts without a switcher attached are usually questioned, that's why they wont want to do it.
As Just Smile advised open online instead. Very simply process and none of that cross selling bull that you have to put up with in person.
