Can you get the info banks hold on their systems about you?

Hi all,

I remember reading somewhere once that you can request (for a small fee) a copy of the data banks hold about you (thinking mostly about the notes on your account etc)

Is this correct and if so do you know how I go about doing it?

The bank in question is Natwest

Many thanks in advance

    Yes. Send them a Subject Access Request (SAR). The fee is normally £10. You might find an address for the SAR on their website.
