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

Terrible IT systems and terrible customer service.

Terrible IT systems and terrible customer service. I opened a new account a week ago am still not able to view my account. I've tried contacting their customer help line but they say that they are unable to do anything, all queries must go through their AI chatbox 'Cora'. I have tried contacting them through Cora but it's terrible, sometimes unresponsive, and was never helpful. Reviewed on: 25th March 2024

My experience with Nat west has been a family affair as all members of the family have had accounts with them for many years and found them very helpful in all aspects over many years Reviewed on: 1st March 2024

Basic Banking Product Limited Digital Experience

NatWest offers a decent off the shelf banking current account. There are limitations in the user experience from a digital experience given the limited and non intuitive design. It does however have the benefit of being a bank that offers classic in branch experience. Poor on digital but a reasonable bank to have in addition to your digital bank. Reviewed on: 29th February 2024

The banking on line is really good.

The banking on line is really good. The loss of branches is a shame and makes things like helping older relatives with their banking difficult. The app is brilliant And I think Nat West is ahead of other banks my family use as it rarely goes wrong. There could be more incentives like avoid points. Reviewed on: 25th February 2024
