Major bank offering new customers free £200 to switch – plus £36 a year cashback
NatWest is paying new customers £200 when they switch their bank account – and you could also earn £36 a year in cashback.
You can get the switch money when you change your current account to one of several NatWest, RBS or Ulster accounts.
To get the additional £36 a year cashback, you would need to go with either the NatWest Reward or RBS Reward accounts.
The cashback, which is worth £5 a month, is available when you use the mobile app and pay out two direct debits worth at least £2 every month.
But there is a catch. Both accounts come with a £2 monthly fee, which takes the cashback effectively down to £3 a month, or £36 over the year.

If you just want the £200 switch offer, the NatWest Select, RBS Select and Ulster Select accounts don’t come with a fee.
With the NatWest and RBS account, you can open a linked 6.17% regular savings account where you can save up to £150 a month.
To get the £200 bonus, you need to pay in £1,250 and use mobile banking within 60 days of opening the account.
You can't have had switching cash from NatWest, RBS or Ulster Bank since October 2017 to be eligible.

The switch can be done through the Current Account Switch Service, which was transfer all your direct debits and standing orders to your new account within a week
