Review of the NatWest, Basic Account:

Mobile app

I love the Nat West mobile app, I can check.my account any time of the day or night. It is always being uodated and the range of it is expanding. Reviewed on: 21st November 2016

NatWest deserve more awareness

I moved from HSBC to NatWest, and to say it is a very good bank. I have never had an issue with either the app or the branch itself, I have always found it easy to maintain my budget as well as view my credit score easily which helped me quite a lot. NatWest doesn’t get the recognition it deserves, it has helped me when I had a student account with themselves as well. The extra Cora feature is also very helpful, and helps answer my queries within an hour or even sooner depending on what my query is. Would definitely recommend to family and friends. The best bank I have ever been with by far! Reviewed on: 25th March 2023

NatWest is a bank I trust. Great communication and help when I need it Reviewed on: 24th March 2023

Easy Switch

I recently switched to NatWest from Halifax and it was all hassle free and the staff who rang after my account was opened were pleasant to talk to as well Reviewed on: 24th March 2023

uncomplicated banking

I find online banking an absolute godsend and the natwest app safe, secure and easy to navigate. I like the checks it makes when I'm setting up a payment and like that I can freeze my card if it's been simply misplaced instead of completely cancelling (usually finding not long after doing so!). Reviewed on: 23rd March 2023

my banking app

my banking app is amazing I could open a savers account so I can transfer money from my account to my savers and then I know it's safe brilliant app Reviewed on: 23rd March 2023

Loved it!

The online banking platform was easy to use and navigate, and I appreciated the convenience of being able to access my account from anywhere. The mobile app was also user-friendly and allowed me to manage my finances on the go. One of the standout features of NatWest Bank is their commitment to customer security. They offer a range of security measures, including instant messaging on adding payees, to help protect their customers' accounts and personal information. Overall, I would highly recommend NatWest Bank to anyone looking for a reliable and customer-focused banking experience. Their dedication to security and user-friendly technology make them a top choice for me. Reviewed on: 22nd March 2023
