Review of the NatWest, Basic Account:

O.K. But very basic account

O.K. But very basic account with little added value or extras. Statements could be clearer and bolder, particularly for the visually disadvantaged and hard to see. Reviewed on: 26th February 2025

I have been a NatWest customer for more than 20 years. They do provide good offers sometimes, however I feel they lack customer concern when it comes to borrowing, especially with never ending offers of loans and credit cards. Reviewed on: 27th February 2025

The NatWest bank App is limited but I think it serves my purpose for very limited online banking use. It’s fairly moderate but it’s not over complicated to navigate around. Reviewed on: 27th February 2025

Highly recommended

"I've been with NatWest for quite some time now, and I couldn't be happier with the service. The online banking experience is incredibly user-friendly, making it easy to manage my finances on the go. The mobile app is intuitive and offers all the features I need, from checking balances to transferring money quickly. The customer service has been outstanding, with responsive and friendly support whenever I have any questions. They genuinely seem to care about their customers, and it’s clear that they prioritize security and convenience. The range of products they offer is impressive as well, from savings accounts to credit cards, and I’ve always found their terms to be competitive. The branch staff is also helpful and knowledgeable, and I appreciate the ease of access to both physical and digital banking. Overall, NatWest has been a reliable and trustworthy partner in my financial journey. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a solid, efficient banking experience."
