Graduate account

4
This graduate and student/graduate accounts both have generous arranged interests with 0% interest (the amount gradually decreases each year after you graduate until it gets to £0) which is very helpful for struggling students and graduates like myself. It's not advisable to continually rely on it of course because it could affect one's credit score and is generally a bad budgeting habit, but the overdraft ihas seriously helped me during long-term periods of unemployment and financial instability.

Easy and straightforward

NatWest is easy to use, it have features that are easy to use and make banking easier. I love the round up feature, saving without meaning to save!! Every little helps Reviewed on: 1st April 2023

Ok

The app is ok, but HSBC's and TSB's apps and customer service are better. Reviewed on: 20th March 2023

Great deal

5
My student account automatically turned into a graduate account, with a great deal. I kept my overdraft with it being interest free for the first year. It's been a lifesaver. Reviewed on: 20th March 2023
