New Current Account

Options
Hi all,
I'm think about getting a new current account (not a student one as I already have one). Reason being is I have a Santander Student account which has all my loan in it that I use for rent, and I also have a regular Halifax one that has my summer salary go in and I use for things like car insurance/holidays.
These have quite a bit in and I dont really like having that amount on cards I use actively, so I would like just a regular current account that I can just have a bit on for things like my weekly shop. Obviously this account wont have a proper income to it, other than some small transfers from my other accounts, so how should I go about getting an account, I was thinking NatWest.
Thanks :)

    Just apply for the account you are looking for.

    You won't know if they'll accept you until you try.

    Just out of interest - what particularly attracts you to Natwest above a second current account with either of the banks you already use.
