Select - Open our everyday bank account

The Current Account Switch Service will do all the work when it comes to switching. This will include moving everything across from your old account to your new NatWest account, including Direct Debits, standing orders etc. all within 7 working days. All you need to do is tell us the details of your old bank account and when you want the Switch to start.

To get our £150 switching offer you need to: 

• Apply and open a new account or switch in to an existing account with us by the 6th December 2019.
• In your application select to switch to us. The Current Account Switch Service will then automatically move your existing payments and close your account held elsewhere.
• Pay in at least £1500 and log in to Online or Mobile banking by 24th January 2020. 
• We'll pay £150 in to your NatWest account by the 21st February 2020.

This offer is available to new and existing customers who are resident in the UK. Not available on Student, Adapt or Foundation accounts. 

We're sorry but if you've had cashback for switching to NatWest (or Royal Bank of Scotland) since October 2017 you won't be able to get it again. 

This offer can be withdrawn at anytime. 

Before switching take a look at Current Account Switch Guarantee (PDF, 39KB) and A Guide to Switching Current Accounts (PDF, 3 MB).

An Arranged Overdraft is a short-term way to borrow and can be a really useful way to pay for unexpected bills. An Arranged Overdraft means we’ve approved extra funds for you, which are available on your current account.

What you should know

How much will I get?

It depends. We’ll look at your individual circumstances and decide on your overdraft limit. We’ll take into account age, earnings and credit rating.
