The NatWest Select Account has a major flaw in my opinion and that is charging for failed payments due to insufficient funds. I actively make a choice to keep my funds low in my debit account so that losing my card has a reduced risk. I transfer money into my spending account prior to purchases, something someone who were to steal my card could not do. I believe that Natwest penalising people for adopting thia security measure to be backward and ridiculous. Reviewed on: 27th January 2024

The Chase saver account was one of the market leading accounts for a while or was at least bumping around in top contention although hasn't kept pace as interest rates tipped over 5% which is shame and something I would encourage them to keep up with to conclusively claim the top spot for banking.

The Everyday Account meets most banking needs although if I had one complaint it would be that the display in the app shows a "Balance" and a "balance inc. Pending" which causes confusion when pay appears on the balance but not on balance inc. Pending even though the payment is literally pending. It should say "Available balance" instead or "Balance including outgoing pending". Reviewed on: 27th January 2024

Review of the Chase Bank, Current Account:

Great account, few teething problems.

It took a very long time to initially get an account, over six months from making an accepted application to actually having the account opened but since then it's been my primary account. Cashback on the debit card is excellent and the ease of moving between the current account and the savings account is great. It also offers a Roundups feature at 5% interest. Not all that high in the current environment but was welcome at the start. Reviewed on: 27th January 2024

Review of the Santander, Saver:

View on product page

Santander's savings normally subpar, but not this time.

Santander's savings offerings have often been subpar in comparison to the wider market however, there was a period earlier in the year where Santander was market-leading and I managed to secure an account at this leading rate. Reviewed on: 27th January 2024
