Excellent Service
Natwest have gone above and beyond to help me out when Student Finance have been late on payments, they've made sure I don't incur any charges in areas that I absolutely would have and have been fully understanding and quick to act when I've needed help.

Student savings
On hand to offer advice and support students through tricky financial situations. Well trained staff are a banks best asset.
Handy overdraft
Has a good card as i am a student - so free overdraft! handy when money is tight!
Natwest Student Account
I am in my fourth year of being a student, and apart from one encounter with a rude member of staff, I have always had a pleasant and efficient service from Natwest.

Read moreAfter waiting 2 MONTHS for them to open my atudents account i reveive a letter that my application was dennied. This after i received an email that my account had been open. The staff was extremely unhelpful and unintrested in helping. When i askes why i was refused they said that they don't give out that information ( i honestly could not think of a single reason). The whole two month experience was a complete nightmare. I would advise people to avoid nat west at any cost.
Good benefits
Got a 4 year railcard with it, although this has now changed i think!
Easy to use
It's easy to keep up-to-date with my account details and statements and have always been happy with the customer service provided in my bank.
Good but they don't allow you to get other products
Natwest is fantastic when you're a student. Interest free over draft, credit card and I got a rail card with mine. Once you have left university and begin your career this let's their users down. You are unable to recieve any other products from them...
Read moreNatwest is fantastic when you're a student. Interest free over draft, credit card and I got a rail card with mine. Once you have left university and begin your career this let's their users down. You are unable to recieve any other products from them due to having a student account and have to request to switch over, which doesn't come with any advantages for staying with them. Other building societies provide a better service for their existing customers.
Helpful, friendly and effective.

Honoured Student Railcard
Changed from undergraduate to postgraduate student account, and they honoured my student railcard despite it technically not being on deal anymore.
Sanity-saver!
When I was a student at Southampton Uni, I suffered from such homesickness! The free rail card I got from changing my solo account into a student account meant I could afford rail fares home every 2 weeks. I wouldn't have survived uni without it!...

Thanks, Natwest - it really made a difference to me!
Would remain with this bank
Prompt with delivery of cards, Branches all over london, professional staff
An excellent account
I would recommend this account to anyone, it has been consistently good throughout my uni studies and I have never had any issue that NATWEST couldnt resolve, the chance to choose the size of overdraft is also useful.
Long forms but helpful stafff

Overall a great service
I've had a great time with my Natwest student account....
Read more I've had a great time with my Natwest student account.
I enjoyed the perks of the 18-25 rail card, since it made traveling home much cheaper.
I also had few issues during my time with Natwest. One issue I did have was that they got my graduation date wrong and switched my account details without telling me. This included changing the terms of my overdraft and my interest rates. The Natwest team supported me really well with changing it and the issue was sorted in a decent time frame.
I would recommend this account for students, although the rail card is sadly no longer a perk.
Friendly, professional, efficient service every time
As a Natwest customer I have always felt valued and listened to. They go the extra mile to help and always provide excellent service.
Great customer service, and decent rewards.
This account comes with the perk of a TasteCard and Nattiest cash back plus, this quickly adds up and is a nice treat that can be paid into the account.
