Hi all.
I'm very late to this party as I didn't have an account to switch but applied yesterday to switch an account to Nat West. Nat West is already open and I can log in but there's been no further acknowledgement of switch in progress or a switch date. Is this par for the course? When I've switched an account previously I'm sure I've had a switch date at the time of applying. I was going to get my husband to switch if all goes smoothly but at the moment am holding off.
Thanks

Just to be clear, this is a new NatWest account?

In my case it took a couple of days before it was opened and access was initially restricted . The first communication I received about the switch was a couple of days after that in an e-mail 'Your current account switch has started!'

Yes a new Natwest account. No restriction just applied on website giving bank details of other bank to switch from

Just got an update email. Apparently according to Nat West it'll be 'all wrapped up' by 14/4. No mention of £200 yet but quite impressed so far.

My Ulster account is finally open and up and running. (took 3 weeks)
Has anyone who has been given the same customer number as they had previously received the bonus ? 
I think I will miss out on this one as my customer number is the same.

So we've done a fair bit of switching recently. Both husband and I are doing ti with our solo accounts. 

Both moved from Starling to NatWest, He got the bonus and I didn't because I apparently did it before in 2017?
Both switched again to Halifax and got the £175 each.
Now both put the switch request in for RBS in the hope like others they will allow it to go through and we bag the £200 each but I not too hopeful.

I didn't get the incentive, they checked me out, took a chance as I've had one before for RBS/NatWest, in fact almost every bank now except FD but that's my main account.👎

I’m interested to know…
if I open up accounts for my kids, pop £1250 in each and transfer them to Natwest, would they get the offer?

no mention of age other than must be 11+ for the app.
doesn’t mention salary, direct debits, age limits etc.

You have to be 18 to apply for a current account.

With attention of the people who have received their incentive from NatWest.

How long did it take from switch from your old bank to receiving the £200?

About 5 working days from meeting all criteria, not switch completion.
