Yeah, that’s true but I’ve got the switching payment, now I can look at whether my rewards cover the fee going forwards.:beer:

Too bad, but as eskbanker pointed out up above it was all there in the terms & conditions. Can you switch a non-NW account now and get the new £125 (+£50) switching offer?

Not for me. I only switched to the standard account as i have no intention of using it other than to switch elsewhere

I switched but did not make the £1500 payment thinking the £1500 and odd that was transferred from my old account into the new NatWest account would count.

Guess what ?

It does since I received the £150 today.

I was hoping it did not so I could just close it down and do the new higher offer.

But hey it’s a free £150.

Any idea if I have to keep the account open for a certain period of time, or can I switch away now that bonus is received?

Does anyone know if you get £150 x2 for switching a sole account and a joint account?

Only one qualifies if you open both a single and a joint account.

A couple can each open a single account to benefit twice.

You will have kept account open for a few months anyway to get reward. Once reward is paid, cant see why they could stop you from switching again.

And anyway even though i was always was just using it as a dummy account to obtain switching bonuses, i have good reason to switch again as even though ive not really used it, nat west are quite rubbish.

You need a card reader to transfer money, but they dont send one as standard upon registering for online banking. And they dont tell you this until you try & move money.
Their banking app doesnt work (well not if like me you have an earlier OS than android 6. My phone is only 2-3 years old, so far too early to not bothering looking at compatiblity issues)
And i dont like it that the account number isnt quoted on the debit cards. If i want someone to transfer me some money, i need to log into the website (cos the app doesnt work) just to get my account & sort code. Other banks i can just look in my wallet.
