What's the interest rate?
As of 23rd June, the interest rate for Instant Saver will be reducing, following the Bank of England's decision to reduce the UK Base Rate to 0.10%.
Without Bonus Interest: one or more withdrawals are made in a month
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 contains details of the notice we'll give you.
How much interest could I earn?

- However, to earn the bonus rate of interest in each monthly bonus period, your account balance must be between £25,000 – £1,000,000 and you must not make any withdrawals in that month.
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, you will not earn bonus interest on any applicable balance for that calendar month.
You can withdraw or transfer money:
- in branch
- online, by phone, or within the app.
Money can be transferred to any other account based in the UK, Channel Islands, Isle of Man or Gibraltar.
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 calling telephone banking or asking in branch.
