NatWest and RBS accounts

SofaSpace

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!

I have both digital regular savers. Have also confirmed it on their chat service that you're able to do this so yes you can have both

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.

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.
