Wonderful Student Account, Easy-To-Use App, Good Student Overdraft

Read moreI already had a Natwest bank account before university, so it made sense to stick with them when upgrading to a student account. I'm now a postgraduate student with the same account, with a £2000 overdraft. Their app is the easiest to use (in comparison with Santander and Co-Operative Bank Apps that my flatmates have), and it was very quick to set up a savings account with them too. They also have a rewards system when shopping with certain clients, giving you a little cashback, which is nice! When I graduate, I will be staying with Natwest for a graduate account.
Good. But they can cancel your account with no warning
NatWest was a really good bank for me. The staff in their banks are really friendly and helpful. But. They have the rights (in the contact you sign) where they can cancel your account and not tell you any reason why. I was a student in my second year...
Read moreNatWest was a really good bank for me. The staff in their banks are really friendly and helpful. But. They have the rights (in the contact you sign) where they can cancel your account and not tell you any reason why. I was a student in my second year and out of the blue they cancelled my student and saving account with no explanation which caused me huge problems. For this reason I would not recommend NatWest.
Excellent service
Always been impressed with Natwest. Been with them for 8years+ and never had any issues.
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!
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.
