Good link to all accounts and easy to use

I have a saver link to my NatWest main account and the interest is good and options to add more money each month with rounds up. It’s easy to access and switch between accounts with NatWest and easy to transfer money back and forth if needed. Lots of info on the app and very informative. Reviewed on: 18th March 2025
