Review of the NatWest, Basic Account:

Reward Account

Recommended.I switched from TSB and received £125 and as the account has 2% cashback on many bills I have received £5.91 a month since although you do pay £2 a month for it.The only drawback is you must pay in at least £1500 per month to qualify. I am not keen on the card reader to set up bill payments but their telephone number is freephone and their customer service is excellent and very helpful. I manage the bulk of transactions online and you can use an app if you prefer, I have switched bank accounts 4 times and without doubt the Reward Account is the best so I do not think I will switch again.

Very positive to still have a branch in our local town. The customer service is the best i’ve experienced with banks that i’ve been with. I do not like the online banks where i don’t have a physical branch - and every Natwest employee seems to go above and beyond for me when i go in with a problem. Reviewed on: 24th May 2024
