Does anyone know if the "Select" Natwest card has the same problem? I am looking to open up a new account for me & my OH but don't want one that won't let me use cash machines!

Hiya

I really feel the pain on this one, I have the natwest account that meant from recently I could only use natwest and rbs machines, I didnt think it would be a major issue at the time, but it turned out to be a massive pain (indicated by having at one point to drag the MIL and AIL round to find a cash point to pay parking ..... this did not make me popular!!)

I upgraded the other day, as it happens the new account is a good deal for me , as I really am looking for iphone insurance and the other benefits, so oddly the £8 a month actually works out cheaper for me...... but

the cynic in me somewhat wonders if it is a coincidence that they change the accounts to make things harder to get cash out and then offer an account with a fee

As I said - I was shopping for phone insurance and travel insurance anyway but if I hadnt it would have been a swiz

It sounds like they have moved you from a Basic account to one of their paid accounts. You should have had the option of a normal account which does not charge you but allows you to use all cash machines.

But if you are happy with the £8 charge for the extras then fair enough.

No, it only applies to the Basic account not Select.

I had my basic changed to a select, choose wisely which select as one charges.

all this talk of natwest cards, everyone was notified via letter (didn't get mine), email (i thought mine was a scam so didn't take much notice of it) and online banking notification that you had to click that you had read it before you could proceed to your balance screen,

Its been about a year or so since it was in the news nationwide.

i kicked up a fuss because i thought my card had been cloned when i tried to get money out and nothing did come out, no mention of seeing my bank or the changes.

I'm disabled and my nearest bank has about 3 other bank cash points between me and them.
