Reward Account
Switching bonus from NatWest
Bonus
£200
Penny's take
Strong value for regular switchers who can meet the monthly habits. The £200 bonus is competitive, and the ongoing £5 monthly cashback more than covers the £2 fee, delivering a net £36 yearly gain - provided you consistently deposit £1,250, run two qualifying Direct Debits, and log into the app each month. The requirements are manageable for most working adults.
The biggest catch is the exclusion of previous NatWest Group switchers, which rules out a significant chunk of potential applicants. If you qualify and already use mobile banking regularly, the long-term cashback makes this genuinely worthwhile beyond the upfront bonus.
