    I just opened digital Regular Saver with NatWest. I have not seen this account in my online banking where I have my current ac. Will it be shown later or I need to do something to be shown on my online banking. 
    Also is it possible to divert the SO from external account? Thanks
    You might have to log out and in again to see the account.

    You can delete the SO from your Natwest current account and set up an so from any other bank you like.

    It takes a day or two to appear. And yes, you can fund it from an external account or SO and hence cancel the SO they created in your NatWest current account.

    Try giving them a ring, it's a free phone number so won't cost anything.  They are very friendly....

    As above. Give them a ring. Typically waiting time and on the queu is less than 5min
     Another 5 minutes to switch to the new rate.
  • Speaking of Saffron, I've recently opened an easy access account with them so that in a year I'll be eligible for the regular saver. 

    Can anyone think of any other places I should be opening an account now, to be eligible for similar perks in the future?

    Thanks!

    Cambridge BS, YBS, Coventry BS, Monmouthshire BS, Principality BS - -  more or less every BS. Also local ones with Post Code restrictions, should you be lucky enough to live in their areas.

    Possibly Skipton too - they had an existing member RS in 2021 I think - but you only had to be a member since a week or so before it was released
