From today NatWest is rewarding customers who switch their main current account to a Premier Select or Premier Reward account with a £500 welcome bonus.
Beyond the welcome offer, new Premier customers receive tailored digital guidance and personal human support throughout their first 90 days, helping them explore the benefits available and get the most from NatWest’s Premier banking service.
They will also gain access to a premium banking experience, combining everyday benefits such as fee-free foreign currency exchange with personalised support from a network of financial experts.
From managing day-to-day finances to planning major life goals, Premier customers have round-the-clock access to a UK-based support team, , alongside dedicated Premier Banking Managers and specialist expertise in investments, tax planning and mortgages.
Beyond banking, Premier customers can also access support to help plan for their financial future, from free online investment advice for those considering how to start investing, to specialist Premier financial planning for customers looking for more tailored guidance across their wider financial goals (fees may apply).
These services, complemented by smart features such as Savings Round Ups (rounding up every day debit card purchases to help build savings) and Premier Perspectives (a content hub including articles, videos and expert commentary on topics from investing and tax to retirement planning) help Premier customers build long-term financial habits, manage their money with confidence, and move closer to achieving their financial ambitions.
Switching bank accounts couldn’t be easier with the Current Account Switch Service, which can be accessed online or via the NatWest mobile app. Payments, such as Direct Debits and Standing Orders, are automatically transferred to the newly opened account within seven days.
Tamara van den Ban, Managing Director of NatWest Premier Banking, said: “We’re here to help our customers feel confident about their money, so they can make the most of the lives they’ve worked hard to build — whether that’s planning for the future, protecting what matters most or experiencing more from life today. Our £500 welcome bonus is an invitation for new customers to experience the help and support we can provide.”
To get access to this offer, customers who meet the Premier account eligibility criteria can open an account from the 2nd September 2026, which can be completed online here or by downloading the NatWest mobile app.
