We’ll send a request to your old bank to confirm the switch and we’ll keep you updated every step of the way.

Step 2

The account you’re switching from will be closed on your behalf and your balance and payments (like Direct Debits) will be moved to your NatWest account.

Step 3

The switch is complete. Your old bank will make sure that any payments made to your old account are redirected to your NatWest account.

Overdraft details

How do overdrafts work?

An arranged overdraft can be useful for short term borrowing. Understand arranged and unarranged overdrafts and their impact on your account. An overdraft is a form of borrowing and is repayable on demand.

How much will an overdraft cost?

Understand the cost and impact of overdrafts and whether you're eligible to apply for one. If you don't repay what is owed, you could harm your credit score and borrowing capability.
