I opened a new NatWest account yesterday, and scribbled the 'potential' sort code and account no. down.  Did the ID process, okay but was left with the message about running a few checks that could take 24 hours.  This morning I have an email from them saying to log in to  see my Mailbox as there is a message about my new account ending in '477'.  (477 matching the 'potential' account from the application).
I last banked with NatWest seven years ago and have no idea of my old log in details. 
I gather from their help, that it will be quicker to wait for the new bank card to arrive to get myself back online, to actually read the message, but for those that have also just opened a new NatWest account and have had the same email, is this just a generic 'Welcome to NatWest' message with no instructions to do anything?  Or does it have info of a switching date as well?
Thanks

It's just a welcome letter to say your account is ready to use, no switch date.

So who's attempted the triple crown? 

(switching to NatWest, RBS, and Ulster simulatneously)

I've gone for it! 😁

I've also gone for the triple. If they all go through, it will take me up to £1550 since I started switching last November!

have you applied for all three simultaneously?

Yep. Switching to Ulster from Co-op which I got the incentive for earlier this week, and into Nat West and RBS from two Chase secondary accounts that I set up on Thursday. He who dares, Rodney!

have you managed to open account with RBS AND natwest ? coz i have managed to open it with natwest but now RBS is not allowing me to open select account .. 

Yes. There were widely reported tech gremlins on Thursday night when I first tried, then opened both on Friday morning without an issue.

natwest account opened without any problem on friday and applied today the RBS select Account then got an email saying they cannot offer me select account and said “ having made those checks we are unable to proceed with opening your account at this stage.”
wonder why is that ? 
shall i try reward account ?

So anyone with NatWest what are their paper & PDF statements like? Are they still A5 size? 

A4 printouts of the ones you see online, exactly the same layout as RBS (and presumably Ulster Bank too). The bespoke formats ended last year (I think, all blurs together!).

For those who have applied to switch into an existing Natwest / RBS / Ulster current and chose to switch as soon as possible, has anyone got a switch date yet and what day did you apply? Thks 

I applied for a switch into my existing NatWest on the morning of the 15th and received an email and text on the afternoon of the 16th saying switch is underway and will complete on the 26th.

I applied to switch into my existing NatWest current account on the morning of the 16th & haven’t had anything yet. Hoping the same for confirmation on Monday.

If you do it will  result in another hard credit search and to me the chances of rejection are high.

I had this with RBS last year, the email said I could appeal (avureview@natwest.com) which I did. Ended up having to call them to get the account set up, once done I then applied to switch (can't remember if it was online or through the app).  Got my £200 switch incentive from them AND Natwest and Ulster within weeks of each other.
