Great app, branches, and perks. Ts&Cs apply I really like NatWest branches (my local branch has been refurbished so maybe I'm biased), there are plenty of staff and cash machines, although count... Read more Reviewed on: 8th January 2024

Review of the NatWest, Student Account:

Highly recommend

Never had any problems. Easy to access money and received lots of perks such as an interest free overdraft with no charge for use. Really happy with this account. Reviewed on: 6th January 2020

Helpful bank, good overdraft limit.

I've been very happy with Natwest having had my student account with them for the last 6 years. They slowly increased my overdraft to the maximum which stopped me spending everything at once. Very helpful in branch and on the phone. Reviewed on: 29th April 2015

Amazing and smooth

When i was starting university i went for a walk round manchester with friends looking at student accounts at different banks, i ended up going for the natwest student account not because of what they offer on the student account but actually what they offer on their graduate account. they dont expect you to pay your overdraft off straight after you finish university they give you two years to do it.

Free student rail card

I have no complaints with my Natwest Student Account. Large overdraft if needed and I also received a student 16-25 railcard for the 4 years while I was at university which was great. However, I am not sure if they are still offering this.. They now offer a Tastecard membership which some students might find useful if they download the app and are looking to save money when they eat out. Reviewed on: 19th March 2015

I really love my bank in Ashton, Denton and Stockport which I use mostly; as they are always willing to help you.

I was being targeted by this evil racist junkie in our block of flats who happens to lodge with his sister; who told him I was to inherit some money- unbeknown to me. He has tried everything scam to try and get hold of my account number. This has included, getting one of his friend to stand behind me at the cash point inside the bank to get my cash when I reached for my receipt. The staff have been wonderful as I was so anxious that he could get a credit card in my name and ru... Reviewed on: 9th January 2015

Great free overdraft

Provides a great overdraft, which increases over your degree length Reviewed on: 6th October 2014

Overdraft helps but some of the benefits not that great

Pros: It gives me a decent free overdraft Cons: Offers Tastecard membership...not that essential for a student Reviewed on: 3rd October 2014
