Good for students and also great Service Reviewed on: 18th February 2023

perfect

all the things you would want in a student account Reviewed on: 5th September 2017

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. Reviewed on: 2nd May 2017

Student savings

On hand to offer advice and support students through tricky financial situations. Well trained staff are a banks best asset. Reviewed on: 21st March 2017

Handy overdraft

Has a good card as i am a student - so free overdraft! handy when money is tight! Reviewed on: 7th December 2016

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. Reviewed on: 2nd December 2016

The worst experience of my life

After 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. Reviewed on: 16th November 2016

Good benefits

Got a 4 year railcard with it, although this has now changed i think! Reviewed on: 15th November 2016

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. Reviewed on: 14th September 2016

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 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. Reviewed on: 1st July 2016

Helpful, friendly and effective.

The staff at Natwest were very helpful, especially as this was my first account and I wasn't sure how the whole process works. They made me feel comfortable and allowed me to ask as many questions as I needed to make the best decision as to open with them or not, and of course - I did! Reviewed on: 27th June 2016
