Natwest transfer - eSavings to Current a/c

cottager

Just a quick check/question please, with our Natwest helpers

I've used my eSavings as somewhere to collect together £30k from savings in several other places, but now it needs to go out again as one sum and I want to TF it to the current a/c ready for a debit card payment. Will the transfer be instant on that amount?

Only checking because I was surprised when a TF of £10200 not long ago from OH's eSavings was far from instant -- it didn't reach his current a/c till 2 days later. If the same applied to this I'll need to take it into account for the onward payment.

Also, is there any limit on a debit card payment from the current a/c? -- I can pay the full amount in one go that way?

As long as the transfer is going from a NatWest esavings account to a Natwest current account and they are both under your name then the transfer will be instant (up to £99999).

Debit card payment will be fine but you might have to speak on the phone to the card centre to confirm further security details. Make sure you know what your password is (check with your branch if you can't remember, it may be a while ago since you set it and it will probably be different from your online password).

Many thanks for the info. Glad you mentioned the possible phone check -- can't even remember ever setting a phone password etc, as I've banked with Natwest forever and telephone banking wouldn't have existed when it was opened! But if the branch will know that's fine, as I'm going in later today so can check. I assume you don't mean I need to ring before making the payment, but just be available to expect a possible call at the time of making it?

Yes, don't need to preadvise them just be ready to answer details on the phone at the time of payment.

If you go into the branch it your security ID on 'back office' that you need to check. Say a friend told you! If you've been with Natwest that long you may not have one - so ask them to set one.
