I use NatWest for my business banking - we originally chose them as they were close to my home (so easy access for paying cheques in, etc), but mainly because they offer 2-years free banking when your business signs up for them. They also offer an online banking service via their website at www.nwolb.com. After registering for online banking, you have to wait for a PIN and customer number to be sent to you through the post before you can actually use the site. These came through in a couple of days for me and the wait was no hardship. At first you'll need to log-in with your activation code, but after you've done this subsequent log-in are done by ...  Read the complete review

Came across the online website after a recommendation from a friend. With online banking at Natwest it just makes your life a little easier especially if you head to the bank often. You can do a certain number of things online that you may often end up going to the bank for. Do you end up going to the bank to transfer money from your current account to your ISA? To do a bank transfer? Or just to check your statement? I used to do these things and now can do it all online. You just need to register your bank details online and you have done it online banking for you! The thing I love about online banking is your balance is always up to date on the ...  Read the complete review

The Natwest online bank is the first online bank I used, and still continue to use. Signing up is simple, you can either do it in the branch or you can do it online. You need to set up a password and a pass number, Natwest will then send you a customer number, which is your date of birth, plus four additional digits. You need to type in this number manually each time you long in, unlike other banking systems where you can ask the computer to remember your customer number. Then on the next screen you need to enter random numbers and digits from your pass number and then your password. Then you'll be presented with a screen ...  Read the complete review

Natwest was the first bank account I ever opened up. I had a step account (whatever that means!) with a solo bank card. I soon realized that popping to the bank or the cash point every time I wanted a statement was quite hard work and worked out how to sign up to the internet and telephone banking. You have to register and then wait for an activation code to be sent through the post. The downside to this is that you don't get instant access, obviously, but this doesn't make it more secure. Once your activation codes come through the post you just have to sign onto www.natwest.co.uk, enter your activation code and set up your personal details etc. ...  Read the complete review

Natwest - at the start at least - fulfilled my needs; I had a dormant Cash ISA account with them which was frozen due to inactivity. I was told that it could not be un-frozen, and instead I would have to create a new one. No problem there; I thought it would be a quick job. However .... .....it wasn't. They changed the rules since the previous account was opened, and now they require you to have a Natwest Current Account open in order to "attach" the Cash ISA to. The more cynical side of me says that it's a cheap method to bolster the figures and hopefully lull you into using them instead of your current account (which in this case, was with ...  Read the complete review
