May be the RBS group have deployed their Ulster Bank Savings team to administer this NatWest offer? :eek:

Please no!!

I haven’t bothered with the card reader at present as we’ve got a draw full of them from various banks and I would imagine they will all work with NatWest.

Any PINsentry reader works, but you have to activate the reader with your online banking account before you can use it, and you can only activate a reader (any one) once you've applied for a NatWest one and then waited two or three days. (for security reasons).

This could get interesting.

I have an old NatWest card reader from 5 or 6 years ago when I had a FRISA with them. Wonder if it will work.

From what others have been posting, actually getting into OLB in the first place is just one of the many Herculean tasks to be completed before being rewarded with £125;)

We just need RBS to come up with the same offer, swiftly followed by a Barclays offer, and then for Halifax to move their "since January 2012" clause forward a few years!

But I'm not holding my breath (although I am holding 3 donor accounts ).

Got accounts with all those 3 for various benefits and unless they did the existing customer thing after this NatWest incentive I'm hard pressed to think of a ( suppose well known ) bank I could switch to that I haven't previously ( since early 2015 )
Have one donor account "left" just in case some bank surprises me

It's hard to see what NatWest is getting out of this ( esp with no DDs or other hoops to jump through ) It's obs well known people switch and then leave the accounts dormant or use it as a donor acc later down the line.

Mind you if they offered a 3 -5% Regular Saver....

I don't know. Some people seem to want money for doing nothing :)

If it's any help, I've had a Natwest current account for donkeys years with a card reader from that era and it still works fine when needed - albeit rarely these days.

Edit
It might need a new lithium button cell, though.

Quick question (sorry if obvious answer, I've not switched before) - if I switched an account with no overdraft facility to my select account which I already have (which does have an OD facility but I don't use at the moment), would the OD facility be maintained and at the same amount after the switch?

If you already have an overdraft facility with your Select account then switching in from another account will not, of itself, change that.

The switch will only transfer all the payments in and out of the old account to the new account (and close the old account). An overdraft with the old account, however, might not have been available with the new account.
