Premier Select Account

Switching bonus from NatWest

Best

Bonus

£500

Penny's take

Generous bonus, but only for the genuinely wealthy. The £500 reward is one of the market's largest switch incentives, and the free account means every penny is pure gain. The catch is the Premier eligibility bar: you'll need either £100,000 annual income paid into NatWest, £100,000 in NatWest savings or investments, or a £500,000 NatWest mortgage just to qualify.

For those who clear that hurdle, the £15,000 deposit requirement within 90 days is straightforward at this wealth level. The previous-bonus exclusion rules out many experienced switchers, so this is best suited to high earners new to NatWest switch offers.
