Review of the NatWest, Everyday account:

Best bank to go with.

5
I’ve been with this bank since I was 12. I’m now 23 I had a savings account to start off with so that I can learn about money and savings. You get a card and you can either put money on that car or draw the money off. Once you’ve turned 18 you’ll get a debit card and that card can be used like the savings card but with the ability to use it online and in stores. I’ve never had a problem with my bank growing up and I still use the same bank today because it’s easy to use and they are on the ball with the verify your payment. They constantly keep the app updated and they also keep you updated on what’s new and what’s happening. So an example, I had a Visa card and they emailed me saying that they are changing from visa to master card and at first I was worried about me having to go through lots of paper work etc but they made sure to explain everything in great detail. It was very simple and all my details were the same and nothing had changed except the card itself and it being master card and not visa. They also do student loans and other types of loans as well and it’s very simple to obtain what you need. With this bank you can now change your phone number etc in the banking app, before you had to use a card reader and follow the instructions. Using the card reader isn’t hard but can be tricky to some who have poor eyesight, so I’m glad they added this new feature. With this bank you don’t even have to stay with them, you can start off with a savings account at the same age I did and then go to a different bank of your choice. On of my friends went with NatWest to start off with and then went to Halifax for the point and cash back features… because he loves Costa :) So if you’re looking for a bank to teach your kids about savings and having an easy app to work with then NatWest would be a good choice to start off with.

Really poor customer service

1
When I needed some customer support, they were horrendous. I had the example where I was scammed by a car rental company and lost money and also having people using my bank cards. One bank straight away blocked the use of my card, NatWest did nothing about it after contacting them twice! Reviewed on: 30th January 2025

Meets the essentials

Does everything you need to but the app can be confusing to navigate if you're not technology fluent Reviewed on: 13th January 2025

Loss of funds and appalling service

1
First they declared my bank account dormant. Closed it and took all the money. It's almost impossible to contact their customer services. They don't answer emails. Their chatline doesn't work and you can't change your phone number to make a complaint because the website crashes Reviewed on: 27th December 2024

They seem to have the time to listen to what you have to say...This in itself,is the most important coustomer relation Reviewed on: 5th December 2024

Poor customer service

I've been a client with the bank for 14 years but the service throughout especially when it had to do with scams that can happen in someone's life was really poor. Even for the case I indicated explicitly the scamming institutions they preferred to do nothing. It's an archaic institution. Reviewed on: 3rd October 2024

Calling the bank used to be easy.sy.

Calling the bank used to be easy. Now you get an ear bashing and forced to listen to negative reasons why ringing up is a bad idea. It leaves you feeling very angry and totally abandoned. Reviewed on: 3rd September 2024

Paying the price as a victim

1
I was taken in by some bit coin scammers. Natwest ear marked me as a money launderer and closed my account without warning or explanation. No one at branch level would speak to me or point me in a direction so I could defend myself, or get an explanation. This is still affecting my otherwise good credit rating and I cannot work out how to get it sorted Reviewed on: 30th August 2024
