Natwest overdraft charge increase

Just opened a letter from NatWest this morning saying on top of an overdraft interest charge they are now going to start charging £6 a month whenever i go into it!

Not very happy as even though I'm ok with savings I do sometimes dip into my overdraft if only briefly.

So I've decided that i should make the move..reading the guides on the site i think I'm going to pop over to first direct and change ASAP.

The one question i have is i have a NatWest E-Isa which is handy because the interest is paid monthly and i have instant access to savings and for the amount i currently have in there i know i can only get marginally better interest rates elsewhere.

My question is if i cancel my main account with NatWest does anybody know if i can keep my E-isa active?

Regards
Jamie

    Why not if it's available even to the customers new to Natwest?

    That said, what's the point in cancelling/closing the account? Just move the money, DDs and SOs elsewhere and keep the account empty.
