Natwest AVU Quick Question on Savings Accounts

Do Natwest Savings Accounts still get passed through the Application Verification Unit (AVU), or is it just Current Accounts ?.

I just want to make sure my Savings account is okay before I start to use it as I dont want to risk it being closed.

    I believe they do as savings accounts are still subject to fraud and money laundering checks
    Debt free and staying that way! :beer:

    My accounts have been opened 2 weeks, do you think I am safe now, as do they not have to do their checks quickly.

    If they've been open for 2 weeks, I'd say you are fine.
