Switch your account to NatWest International

If you use the Current Account Switch Service to switch, your old bank will close your old account. This ensures that any payments made to your old account are automatically redirected to your new account.

If you would like to keep your old account open then you are free to do so, but you won’t be able to use the Current Account Switch Service to do this, and you will not be covered by the Guarantee. Speak to your bank and they can help explain your options.​

You will be able to access the funds in your old account up to an until your switch date, when they will be transferred to your new account.

All incoming and outgoing payments will be automatically redirected to your new account. Each time a payment is redirected, an automatic message is sent back to the originator advising them of your new account details so they can update their records. Some organisations may contact you directly to confirm your details have changed. If you do not want your new details to be given to someone who sends a one-off payment, contact your new bank.

You can cancel your switch up to 7 working days before your switch date. If you do want to cancel, speak to your new bank, who can guide you through this process.
