We have put a range of measures in place to help support you if you're experiencing financial difficulties as a result of the outbreak:
Payment holidays for up to 3 months to support with the impact of coronavirus on NatWest Mortgages. You can find more information on applying for a payment holiday on our managing your mortgage page.
You can apply to increase your credit card limit.
Refunds on request for NatWest credit card cash advance fees, where you've needed to access cash in an emergency.
Early closure of NatWest fixed savings accounts to access cash with no early closure charge. To close your fixed term savings account, you can call us on 03457 888 444 (Relay UK: 18001 03457 888 444).
You can request an increase in your NatWest Debit Card cash withdrawal limit of up to £500 to help you access your money. To do this, you can call us on 03457 888 444 (Relay UK: 18001 03457 888 444).
From Monday 30th March, for three months, all of our Personal Banking customers using their overdraft will pay less as we’re keeping overdraft interest at their current rates and they won’t pay any fees or charges. To find out more, please see our overdrafts page.
We won’t charge a late fee for any credit card payments due from 1st April until 30th June 2020. You don’t need to get in touch, we will do this automatically. You should still try to make at least your minimum monthly payment on time to avoid affecting your ability to get credit in the future.
The limit for contactless spending with your debit or credit card is increasing from £30 to £45. Retailers need to update their systems to accept these changes, so you don’t need to contact us if your contactless payment over £30 is declined, simply continue to use chip and PIN. You’ll still need to occasionally enter your PIN when presenting your card to prove it’s really you.
We are experiencing very high volumes of calls as our customers and colleagues adapt to the impacts of coronavirus. The quickest way to contact us is via the mobile app, which has a 24/7 chat and messaging service.
If you have access to our Mobile App, please use the ‘Message us’ facility. This is the quickest way for you to contact us at this time.
Alternatively you can ask Cora via the 'Help' button in the bottom right corner of the page.
App available to customers aged 11+ with compatible iOS and Android devices and a UK or international mobile number in specific countries.
