    ^ Not that we will ever physically see that money in our pockets.

    Course we wont see it, We have an 11% pay rise for MP's to pay for.

    Yes, they've had problems, like other banks (Barclays went down a few weeks ago as well), however, NatWest have helped me through the last few years while I've been a student.

    They've increased my student overdraft when requested, offered me a student credit card when I've needed it, and have been great at allowing me to withdraw money without a debit card at their ATM's when I stupidly lost my card whilst in London.

    No bank is perfect, however NatWest are great for some, whilst not so great for others.

    Now my student days are finishing, I'll likely be moving over to Nationwide for their FlexPlus, as that's the account that suits my needs best at the moment. :)
