NatWest has launched its latest initiative for customers, offering a £200 bank account switch offer.
It applies to those who switch to the bank's Reward or Select bank accounts.
Those wanting to get a bit of extra cash must apply for an account online or via the NatWest mobile banking app, using the Current Account Switching Service (CASS), reports Which?
This move means your existing bank account will be closed and any remaining funds and direct debits will be moved to your new account with NatWest.
New @NatWestBusiness insights highlight a positive start to the year for most areas of the UK, with business activity growth broadening out and local labour market trends generally improving.

Which? explains: “Within the first 60 days of having the account, you'll need to deposit a total of £1,250 and log in to the mobile banking app at least once.
“Upon meeting these conditions, your £200 bonus will be paid into your account within seven days.
“Anyone who has received a switching bonus from NatWest or Royal Bank of Scotland since the start of 2020 isn't eligible for the deal.”

Although the Reward account has a £2 monthly fee, it allows account holders to earn up to £5 a month back in “rewards”, according to Which?
It adds: “These consist of a payment of £1 for logging in to the mobile app, and £2 for each of the first two direct debits. Account holders can also get 1% cashback at some retailers.”
Meanwhile, the Select account is an “everyday” basic bank account with no monthly fees or rewards.
This offer comes after Lloyds Bank recently launched a £175 bonus for customers switching to its Club Lloyds account.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
