NatWest/RBS Digital Regular Saver

I've noticed that the terms for this account have now changed. Regularl savings amount now £1-£150 each month. Interest 3% to £1000, 0.25% £1001-£5000, 0.01% over £5000.

Doesn't affect me as I'm all but £1000.

How strange!

Does this mean we'll all be upping our monthly contribution to this and the RBS RS too?

And topping up this month's limit.

Or are we stuck on the previous T&Cs?

I have just topped up and altered standing order no problem

I just asked NatWest on live chat and their response was "I have checked and this limit has been increased to £150.00 for all the users. So, you can also deposit a maximum of this amount in your account."

Which as my post says I already have and increased standing order

I feel like this is deliberately timed... next month is when I would've hit £1000, having had one of these opened from basically when they introduced them. But it make this much more attractive for new account holders since you can max out the account in 6-7 months now.

Is it possible to close your account and open a new one?

I believe so - there was a promo a while back where a few people did just that to be eligible for it. Not sure why you'd want to close it though?

I am £28.56 short of £1,000. If I put this in now instead of on 1st April I will get an extra 3.5p in interest!

Hi - did you do this as a transfer? 

I've just topped mine up as a transfer as I was unable to amend the standing order. I've had to order a new card as mine has expired

The account does not have a maturity date and no minimum monthly contribution so there would be no advantage in starting this account again.

Anyone who had these accounts with NatWest and RBS since launch day and funded the maximum monthly contribution would be due to reach £1000 by next month anyway.
