Excellent Account

Such good value that covers my family.. I have had to utilise the mobile phone insurance several times due to having teenagers! The travel insurance is also a good product for us as a family, it covers me and my young adult in Uni, peace of mind. Reviewed on: 18th February 2023

Receipt management

As a Premier (private) customer, I enjoy being able to manage my receipts in the app. I also appreciate the fact I get my own Premier branding in the app too because it makes me feel valued to be banking with NatWest! Reviewed on: 5th November 2018

Terrible

Whenever I try and use the benefits of this account I’m always disappointed. Mobile phone insurance, painfull to make a clam, then told to pay £100 excess, complete rip off! Twice tried to use club lounge at airport only to be told they are too busy to except NatWest customers, very embarrassing! In short they will take your £28 a month but don’t expect anything back.

Where do I start?

1
Where do I start? Last year we opened a joint bank account and a hard credit search was done twice on my credit file. I called the bank straight away and asked them for this to be resolved. I also told my credit reference agency that I would like to dispute the search. Couple of weeks later NatWest refused to take the second search off my file which was done because of their mistake. Made an official complaint which hasn't got resolved FOR OVER A YEAR NOW! A couple of days ago we decided to cancel our account because we were leaving the country. We went to the Twickenham branch in London and got everything some I'm 15 minutes. Finally, I thought to myself they're improving. We cancelled all our direct debits, standing orders, and the account. The next day when we were already outside the country the first direct debit went out...oh joy!!! Contacted their team and they recalled the payment and advised us that the closing of the account will take 5 working days??? Well... We were certainly not told that! I asked again if now all the direct debits were cancelled? I was told, yes and there will be nothing else going out of our account. 2 days later another payment has gone out. Once again I contacted their team and I was told that this is the account fee for the month before...I asked twice while I was in the branch of everything has been some or if there's anything else we need to pay for, I was told it's all done!! How can a bank afford so many mistakes??? It's absolutely ridiculous. This company is a joke and all customers should stay away from them. As nice their customer service people are they also useless of resolving problems! I'm going to pay for the final fee but I'll make sure my review will be everywhere on the internet to warn people.
