Initially said account reserved and then did id check and then declined my application even though the check was successful. However could not have been much because my appeal was accept.

Just got an email saying after doing their 'checks' unfortunately they are unable to proceed with opening my account. Their loss 

Appeal like I did

after your appeal was a success .. did they open your account and switch going ahead ?

I have to wait 24 hours and speak to the specialist account opening tomorow and the AVU said I then have to go online to do the switch when they have opened the account.  Will update tomorrow with hopefully positive news

will wait for an update from you . thanks

No reason given.  I’ll try and gleam some more information tomorrow to help others on this forum.

Have opened sole Natwest & arranged switch from Barclays, as did my wife. (So expecting £400 total) Both accepted and accounts open.

We have a joint account with Nationwide that we were looking at closing (earlier switch incentive received years back), thought I'd try RBS, as nothing to lose. But have been rejected. Not going to appeal as don't want to risk losing both my & my wife's sole switch incentives. 

I think 'the group' have realised their error on previous occasions, but good luck to anyone who does get 2 (or even 3) of the 3 available.

RBS had message stating that you couldn’t open new account to updating site to 29th

Still nothing yet! 

When I try to log into online banking it says this 

Sorry, we’re unable to display your account(s) at this time

New to NatWest?

If you’ve just successfully opened an account, it can take up to two business days before it’s available in online banking.

Or if you’ve finished an application for an account and you’ve been asked to provide more information, we can’t activate your account until you’ve provided what we’ve asked for.

If you continue to experience this problem, please contact the support centre for further assistance.

It did once say I need card reader before I can log in 

hopefully I will find out today if I have been accepted

They have finally opened my account and it's now showing in the app. I was a Natwest customer for >15 years but switched the current account in Oct 23 but still kept my credit card open. I've never had a switching bonus from any of Natwest/RBS or Ulster but when I first tried to open the account, they said they needed to do additional checks. It's taken them about 4 days, but it's now open. Thought I would mention this as someone earlier in the thread said you can't open another account if you closed one less than a year ago, but this doesn't appear to be the case.
