Natwest basic current account limit

Damn. I have 4 basic current accounts with Natwest, tried to apply for another one but it said 4 is the maximum limit. Is it for forever or can I apply for more, in time? All these 4 accounts were applied within a month.
You will only fail to learn if you do not learn from failing.

If 4 is the max then it's the max.
Why do you need more than 4 accounts with the same bank?0 -
Donor accounts. RBS it is then. I just wanted to hear people's experiences if they managed to get more than 4 basic accounts with Natwest.You will only fail to learn if you do not learn from failing.

Lol that's ridiculous. I know it's the maximum, I'm just curious if anyone managed to get more than 4.You will only fail to learn if you do not learn from failing.

To be honest you stand more chance of NatWest closing all of your accounts than you getting a 5th.0

I doubt it very much. Three are switched to other banks, one is in process. Thanks anyway for the warning.You will only fail to learn if you do not learn from failing.

I would guess you can open another once one is switched as you would no longer have 4.
What's the advantage to opening basic accounts anyway? Wouldn't any account with a bank you're already with do?
Do basic accounts show up as a negative factor on credit reports? And/Or are they accepted by all banks for switching to non-basic accounts?
Sorry for the questions..0 -
I have managed to get the fifth account today. By the way Natwest and RBS websites has new UI designs...looks nice.ConfusedNewbie wrote: »I would guess you can open another once one is switched as you would no longer have 4.

I use it for switching to other banks, e.g. incentives, cashback, etc.You will only fail to learn if you do not learn from failing.

I was going to reply (to your comment about all their other accounts being chargeable) but it looks like you've now realised their Select account is also free?inspireme247 wrote: »Last edited by inspireme247; Today at 9:04 AM.0 -
If you've already switched 3 (as you said above), this one's now the 2nd isn't it?inspireme247 wrote: »I have managed to get the fifth account today.0
