Compare Natwest current accounts

NatWest is a member of the Current Account Switch Service, so you can move your banking across without the hassle. Apply for your chosen account, pick a switch date, and your direct debits, standing orders and incoming payments move automatically within seven working days.

NatWest often runs a switching incentive for new customers who move their main account, so check whether a cash offer is available before you apply.

To open a NatWest current account you usually need to be a UK resident aged 18 or over, with proof of identity such as a passport or driving licence and proof of address.

NatWest will normally carry out a credit check during the application, especially if you request an arranged overdraft, so having your details ready helps the process run smoothly.
