Converting NatWest Select Account to a Reward Account

surreysaver

Is this a simple process? Can I convert a Select Account to a Reward Account, or would I have to open a new account with NatWest?
No information regarding this seems to be available on their website.

Log in to online banking and have a look at upgrade your account.
You won't need to open a new account.

Cheers. I have a NatWest account open with a couple of direct debits from when I did a switch, so I may as well make use of it from February to earn a couple of quid from it when they change the Reward Account in February.

Just don't forget to keep a few quid in it to cover the monthly fee. The cashback isn't automatically paid into the account as you need to wait until you have £5 of cashback before you can ask for it to be transferred to your account.

I have a Savings Builder which I need the current account for as well. I normally keep £50 in non-interest bearing accounts anyway, just to keep the things live.

Just had a look at the process - for the benefit of anyone else reading this, 'Upgrade your Account' is located on the right-hand side of the screen on the accounts summary page, and it takes you through the application process - you just need to state you are an existing customer.
