Nat West Switch

Just tried my first one with Nat West and wondered if what I had experienced was correct. 

I applied and then was directed to the ID partner. I completed that process but when I closed down that tab there were no instructions of what to do next. I am unsure if my account is in the application process or not. I didnt have to answer any personal financial questions. Does this sound right or has my application somehow not been completed. I have also had no other email than the ID one.

    The application does end at the ID verification stage and no financial questions are asked. I have received notification that my account is in the process of switching.

    I've done every Switch available and Natwest/RBS wouldn't let me open an account. They seem to have figured out from my credit report that I wouldn't keep it.

    I don't think it's that, I've got natwest and rbs accounts & I've had done plenty of switches. Including previously switching into and out of a natwest account within a couple of months.

    I don't believe they care about the number of current accounts or credit cards either.
