How dare you use the possessive form of someone's name...

The bank says it's trying to fix a problem with its mobile app which occurs when a customer sets a 'nickname' for their account which includes a special character, such as an apostrophe.
Customers who've used anything other than letters or numbers in their account nickname have found they're unable to access their account either online or via the app - and haven't even been able to request their account is individually unlocked or re-register. Instead they've had to wait until NatWest has done a regular "sweep" of all affected accounts.
NatWest, which was alerted to the problem as early as last October, says it has been unlocking the affected customers' accounts every month, and those currently locked out will be able to re-register access their accounts on Wednesday. It says it will have fully fixed the problem early in March.

@pjh They used NatWest? Now they have several billion problems.

Zero. Popular XKCD comics notwithstanding, escaping is and asking for trouble. The proper way is to use parameters.

Really? While not really paying attention to other banks, I get the impression NatWest customers only have one main problem - that of being able to access their accounts on an uninterrupted 24x7x52.
http://downdetector.co.uk/problems/natwest/archive, for example, would encourage me to not actually trust them with a savings account, let alone a current account...

Didn't NatWest bring down RBS? Maybe I'm misremembering.
You definitely dismembered the joke though.

But is "money building" a building where there's money or, like, the act of counterfeiting?

It's a building that is in some way related to money.

Also, Latvian is just Latin with VIM bindings.

The lojban words for Latvian are kulnrlatfacu and banlu'avu, and the fact that the first one refers to a culture and the second one refers to a language is encoded into the word's spelling.
There's also banluvusu for Standard Latvian and banlusulu for Latvian Sign Language.
Additionally, ru'urluvulu is the currency Latvia and gugdeluvu is the country Latvia.
And now back to your regularly scheduled programming of answers to questions people have actually asked ever.

I think I'll go with Latin with VIM

Is there a reason for those words looking like that, or is it purely due to RNG?

banlu'avu means "bangu(language) with the ISO 639-3 code 'lav'"
kulnrlatfacu means "kulnu(ethnicity) + foreign word sounding like laht fah shoo"

Well, I’d say it’s the fault of the NatWest customers for using lojban in their account nicknames.
