What are push notifications?

Push notifications are alerts created by an application on your mobile device, notifying you of a new message or update.

We send Push notifications to all the devices you have the NatWest application on, with the settings turned on. If you use more than one device, you will need to check that push notifications are turned on to the devices you wish to receive these on.
