Natwest/Santander

Hi,

Please can anyone tell me if Natwest are linked to Santander in anyway?

I am trying to follow the advice on this board on dealing with payday loan companies and opening a new account to secure my pay at the end of the month and just wanted to check.

Many thanks.

    no! The NatWest is part of the RBS group. It has nothing to do with the BoS. Santander are in the process of taking over NatWest accounts in Scotland.
