Overdrafts

If you need some extra money and you're over 18 with a NatWest Current, Current Plus, Advantage Gold, Advantage Private, Select Account, Select Silver Account or Black Account, a Credit Zone Overdraft could give you the flexibility you need. Once you've agreed your facility with us, you can use it at any time - without having to contact your branch. There are other overdraft facilities specially designed for students and graduates.

Advantage Private, Advantage Gold and Black Account customers enjoy a tailored interest rate.

Great flexibility because you can borrow up to your approved limit at any time, plus you:

  • can increase or decrease your limit whenever you want
  • only pay monthly interest on what you borrow (when within your agreed limit)
  • don't have to renew your overdraft

It's easy to apply

  • Online - If you are a NatWest online banking customer, you can apply from within online banking. Simply go to the 'Apply OnLine' section and select the 'Request an overdraft' option. Then, follow the on-screen instructions. We complete many of the fields for you, so all you need to do is specify the amount of overdraft that you wish to apply for. We will then confirm our decision and, if your request has been successful, we will apply the new overdraft limit within 48 hours.

Rates and charges

Our Act Now Alerts can help you stay in control and minimise or even avoid fees for unarranged overdrafts and returned items. They specify the time by which you should credit your account with cleared funds to cover all payments and/or to bring your account back into credit or within any arranged overdraft limit.
