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.
