Switch to a NatWest business bank account

You can find more information on the Current Account Switch Service website

You can check if your current bank is part of the Current Account Switch Service on their website

You will need to complete one of our switching applications and provide 6 months statements from your existing Business Current account

Your switch will take place 7 working days from the day we receive your completed application.

We validate your application the day we receive it and if we have all the required information to initiate your switch, we will start your switch process.

In case there is further information required to initiate the switch, we would get in touch with you as well as your RM/Business team.
