What is the interest rate?

If, for example, you hold £150,000 in your account and you have satisfied the bonus condition, your interest rate for that monthly bonus period will be 0.85% AER/Gross p.a. on your entire account balance.You can find details of the bonus condition in the Additional Information section.Interest is calculated daily and paid on the first business day of the month and at account closure.

Can NatWest change the interest rate?

Yes, these rates are variable. If the rates are going down and your balance is £100 or more, we'll give you at least 14 days' notice. If the rates are going down and your balance is less than £100, we'll inform you before the change or shortly afterwards. If the rates are going up, we'll inform you before the change or shortly afterwards. For more information please see the Savings Account Terms (48 pages)
