When will switched account close?

I've just transferred an additional Natwest account I have for the Yorkshire Bank switching bonus.

Today was my switching date, but the account is still showing on my Nattiest online banking. Does this mean the switch hasn't completed yet?

I expected that account to disappear to confirm that the switch had all gone through... Is it just possible there is a time delay in closing the account?

    The account will disappear from internet banking soon after the switch date. Some banks (e.g. Barclays) still have the account shown when using self service machines in branch etc. The account will be 'fully closed' after 13 months.

    My Natwest account has disappeared today. Switch was yesterday.
