NatWest and RBS accounts

Hello.
I have a NatWest Select account and also a NatWest Digital Regular Saver account.
Would it be permitted to open a RBS current account and also open an RBS Digital Regular Saver to take advantage of both high interest DRS accounts?

    You can have a Digital Regular Saver with BOTH NatWest AND RBS 

    To be honest I'd encourage it as you can only really put in £150 each a month, so will take a long time to build up to the 5K max
  • Great, thank you!

    Not that long if you use double round ups with a suitable other account to pull small deposits into. I've been at 5k for a while now...

    Yes but that's fiddly to do from what I've seen, you could always leave each month's interest in the accounts too, I like to take it out, each to their own 😉.

    I was trying to keep things really simple.

    Thank you, that's reassuring to hear before I go ahead.

    If you're going to have the Rewards account, you'll need to use a separate email address, as the Rewards website won't let you use the same email address for both NatWest and RBS.
    I consider myself to be a male feminist. Is that allowed?

    Are you sure? I use the same email/phone for both and had no issue. I access the Reward site from App directly and the personal details at the Reward site do not list my email/phone number at all.

    You don't need the rewards account for both brands though it's the same system etc.

    Luckily I get My Rewards for free on my NatWest account because I had my account before they started charging.

    Have they changed the rewards account recently?, I swear it was more than £2 a month.
