Interest is paid on the above tiers on a stepped basis which means you’ll earn a different rate on each portion of your balance within the above tiers. If, for example, you hold £11,000 in your account, and you have satisfied the regular saving condition, your interest rates for that monthly period will be: 1.50% on the first £5,000, 1.50% on the next £5,001-£10,000 and 0.20% on anything over £10,000.
You can find details of the regular saving condition in the Additional information section. Interest is calculated daily and paid on the first business day of the month and at account closure. You’ll be able to see and access the interest in your account on the following day.
Yes, these rates are variable. They may be changed for any of the reasons set out in General Term 9.2 of the Savings Account Terms (PDF, 605k), e.g. to take account of Bank of England base rate changes. If the rates are going down we’ll give you at least 60 days’ notice. If they are going up, we’ll inform you before the change or shortly afterwards. Term 9.2 contains details of the notice we’ll give you.

These are only examples and do not take into account your individual circumstances. They assume that no further deposits or withdrawals are made; there is no change to interest rates and tiers; and any interest earned stays in the account.
Yes. No notice is required. You can withdraw money:
• In branch
• By transfer to any other account based in the UK (online, by telephone or on the mobile app)
There are daily limits on the amount you can transfer from your account online, by telephone or on the mobile app.
Find out the current daily limits and how to withdraw more than them here, or by contacting telephone banking. Please note: Withdrawal during the month which means your month to month balance does not increase by £50 or more will result in the regular saving condition not being met and interest not being earned.

Annual Equivalent Rate (AER) This is a notional rate used for interest bearing accounts, which illustrates the interest rate if paid and compounded each year. It helps you to compare the effective rates of credit interest on different accounts.
Gross Rate The interest rate you are paid without the deduction of UK income tax.
p.a. Per annum (per year)
Your eligible deposits with NatWest are protected up to a total of £85,000 by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme, the UK’s deposit guarantee scheme. Any deposits you hold above the limit are unlikely to be covered.
