    The terms of course say this, but historically they have been very bad at actually enforcing them. YMMV, but there are quite a few people on here who have successfully taken advantage of switching incentives from all 3 banks in the NatWest group.

    This quote is from the NatWest bank accounts page ... https://www.natwest.com/current-accounts.html?intcam=HP-HI-DEF-Default ... this highlights and summarises various features of different accounts.

    The incentive section is ... 


    As you can see it refers to the T&Cs terms PDF which details the conditions in a page and a half.

    The introductory paragraph ...


    and the closing section ...


    ... note the specific "between 1st October 2017 and 13th February 2023". There are similar terms for both RBS and Ulster Bank.

    So 3 x £200 kerchink.
