Summary Box

Account name: Premium Saver account

What's the interest rate?

No withdrawals made in month: bonus condition is met

Withdrawals made in month: bonus condition is not met

Interest is paid on a tiered basis which means you'll earn one rate on your entire account balance. If, for example, you hold £150,000 in your account and you have satisfied the bonus condition, your interest rate for that monthly bonus period will be 2.50% Gross p.a. on your entire account balance. You can find details of the bonus condition in the Additional information section. Interest is calculated daily and paid on the first business day of the month and at account closure. You’ll be able to see and access the interest in your account on the following day.

Can NatWest International change the interest rate?

Yes, the interest rate is variable. The rate may increase or decrease for any of the reasons set out in Term 10.3 of the Personal Banking Account Terms and Fees to account for the Bank of England's base rate changes or changes in the rates paid by other banks. If the rates are going down we'll give you at least 60 days' notice. If they are going up, we'll inform you before the change or shortly afterwards. Term 10.4 of the Personal Banking Account Terms and Fees contain details of the notice we'll give you.

Can I withdraw or transfer money?

Yes, Premium Saver is an instant access savings account which means that you can withdraw, transfer or access your money at any time. However if you make one or more withdrawals in a monthly bonus period, you will not earn the bonus for that month and your interest rate will be lower for that period.

You can withdraw or transfer money:

  • online
  • via telephone banking 
  • or the mobile app

There are daily limits on the amount you can transfer from your account online, by telephone or mobile banking. You can find out the current daily limits by contacting us.

Please review our important information

Our important documents give all the detail you need about our account. If you carry on applying, it means you're happy with what's in these documents. Please take some time to review, print and/or save the important information.

Depositor Compensation Schemes

Under the scheme(s) customers are entitled to make only one claim per licensed entity regardless of the number of brands or trading names contained within that licensed entity and customers are entitled to make one claim only per licensed entity in the jurisdiction where the deposits are held.

Therefore as NatWest International brand is operated by RBS International it is not licensed in its own right. A person with a deposit in NatWest International and a deposit in RBS International would thus only be entitled to make one claim.
