Upgrade to a NatWest Reward Silver account
Reward Silver has a £10 monthly fee. To apply you must be an existing current account customer.
What is the NatWest Reward Silver account?
NatWest Reward Silver is a current account packed full of useful extras. As the name suggests, it could make your everyday banking a little more rewarding.
For a monthly fee of £10, you get access to a range of fantastic perks which could be great for staying in, going out or getting away. Enjoy everything from cinema discounts to European travel insurance.
You can also access monthly Rewards that you can spend, use to buy gift vouchers and e-codes or even donate to charity.
The NatWest Reward Silver account gives you insurance and lifestyle benefits. This type of bank account could be right for you, however, it’s always worth researching carefully before you apply for your Rewards account to make sure.
Yes. You get European travel insurance with the Reward Silver account. It covers you and any joint account holders for 22 days per trip. You can take unlimited trips. Find out more about European travel insurance for Reward Silver account holders.
An arranged overdraft is available with this account (subject to eligibility). An overdraft is a form of borrowing and is repayable on demand. It can be useful for short term borrowing.
To apply for or amend an overdraft on your account visit our Overdraft pages.
There are two different types of overdraft:
- An arranged overdraft, which allows you to go overdrawn up to an agreed limit.
- An unarranged overdraft. This is when you spend more money than you have in your current account without already having an arranged overdraft, or when you exceed your current arranged overdraft limit
We charge interest on both types of overdraft. Going in to an unarranged overdraft limit can lead to payments being rejected.
