    If you've got the account details can you not contact Natwest & enquire?
    remember though the account will more than probably be closed once you go BR

    They could do that I know barclays did with an e-savings account I had with them, they took money from that to pay the current account debt (called off setting) you really need to speak to your payroll & either organise a cheque as a one off or see if you can use a relative/freinds account as a temp measure

    Thats good, they'll give you the sort code and account number straight away (they did with me) and then you can organise transfer of wages and your DDs etc.

    Phil..i'm stretching my already over stretched memory here, but i'm fairly certain they gave me all the info i needed that same day, once they'd seen the ID etc. I still had to wait for the card etc, but i'm sure they allowed me to use the account straight away.:confused:

    Phil....you deleted your post and now i look like i'm talking to myslef lol.

    They may do...some branches are asking for a little longer though due to increased workload & new fraud checks in place

    whatever you do....dont overstretch the elastic band it's nearly knackered already!

    **Edit** didnt mean to delete my post...said something under my breath & the headset thought I wanted to delete

    Arhh. Stop muttering under your breath then:p

    I'll stop over stretching things...;)

    My branch is probably the smallest branch they have and i doubt they have a large workload there
