Balance Transfers

Hi all,
I signed up to the NatWest 28 month balance transfer credit card, not realising that I can't transfer my current NatWest credit card balance to it as the transfer cannot come from another NatWest account (facepalm)
I would prefer to use my new NatWest card as I like seeing all my accounts in one place so I guess I need to transfer my balance (of just under £1000) to a different bank so I can then transfer it back to NatWest? Should I open a new credit card to do this, or is there another way around it? I'm wary of having to pay a fee for each balance transfer I make. 
Hope that all makes sense (it's still early!)
Thanks in advance 😊

    It's not the smartest move to keep everything with a single lender, and especially when that lender is NatWest, but yes, you can do a double transfer if you can get another card and are happy with the fees.
