Manage your savings account
Need a hand managing your savings account?
From basic tasks like topping up your savings pot or taking money out, to reactivating your ISA or finding out why you've seen 'DRS overfund' on your Digital Regular Saver statement - here's what you need to know to help you manage your NatWest savings account.
To get started, just choose your savings account from the list below.
Manage your Cash ISA
You've got until the 5th April to make the most of the £20,000 ISA allowance for the current tax year. Don't forget - if you haven't paid into your ISA for a full tax year, you'll need to reactivate it before you can pay into it again.
Paying money in
Paying into an ISA is called subscribing. There are four different kinds of ISA: Cash ISAs, Stocks & Shares ISAs, Innovative Finance ISAs and Lifetime ISAs.
At Natwest, we offer Cash ISAs and Stocks & Shares ISAs, but you might have other kinds of ISAs with other banks or building societies. Our Cash ISAs include Variable Rate ISAs, Fixed Rate ISAs and Help to Buy:ISAs.
You must not subscribe to another Cash ISA with us or have subscribed more than the overall subscription limit in total to a Cash ISA, Stocks & Shares ISA, or any other types of ISAs in the same tax year.
The ISA allowance in the UK is currently £20,000. It applies from the 6th April to 5th April. Anything you pay into an ISA after 5th April will count as part of your ISA allowance for the next tax year.
Is one of your Cash ISAs a Help to Buy:ISA? You can only pay up to £200 a month into your Help to Buy: ISA, but you can pay into another NatWest Cash ISA in the same tax year. You can find out more about that in the Help to Buy: ISA section of this page.
Want to find out more about ISAs? Check out our ISA guide.
You can use mobile app, online banking, direct banking or any branch to pay funds into your Cash ISA.
If you've got more than one type of ISA, just make sure you're not paying in more than your ISA allowance of £20,000 for the current tax year across all your ISAs. Tax years run from 6th April to 5th April the following year.
If you've got a Fixed Rate ISA, you can pay in a lump sum at the start of your fixed term. For other Cash ISAs, you can choose whether you want to pay in lump sums, or set up a monthly standing order to help you save more regularly.
You can reactivate your ISA in the mobile app or online banking – just click the ‘Help’ button and ask to ‘reactivate my ISA’. Your ISA will be reactivated the next working day.
Taking money out
Our Cash ISA is an instant access account, so you can take money out whenever you need to. It's worth remembering that if you take money out of your ISA, you can only pay money back in that same tax year up to your annual ISA allowance of £20,000. For example, if you pay £16,000 into your Instant Access ISA and take out £500, you'd still only have £4000 of your ISA allowance left.
Don't forget, if you just want to move the savings in your Cash ISA to another ISA account, you'll need to go through the ISA transfer process to make sure you don't lose out on any of the tax free benefits of your ISA account.
ISA Inheritance Allowance
If you're the spouse or civil partner of anyone who died from 3rd December 2014 onwards and held an ISA at the time of death, you can apply to have their ISA allowance added to your ISA. This is called ‘Additional Permitted Subscription’, or APS.
This isn't inheriting the actual money in the ISA, which follows the normal estate process. If the ISA holder died on or before the 5th April 2018, the value of the allowance is equal to the value of the ISA balance, including all interest at the date of death. If the ISA holder died on or after the 6th April 2018, the allowance can be the higher of the value of the ISA balance including all interest at the date of death, or the value of the ISA balance at the point the ISA is no longer a “continuing account”.
An ISA account is no longer a “continuing account” when the administration of the estate is complete, the ISA is closed, or 3 years have passed since the date of death – whichever is earliest. Please note, if the estate takes more than 3 years to settle, interest earned after this is taxable so will not count towards the APS.
To apply please print, complete and return this form to:
Everyday Banking, PO Box 5612, Manchester, M61 0WN
We'll check the information you've given us and write to you within 30 days with your exact entitlement, along with details of how to add those funds to your own cash ISA without using your personal annual ISA allowance.
For further information on we how can help during the difficult period following the death of a loved one, find out about our Bereavement Service.
How to transfer your ISA
An ISA transfer allows you to move ISA's from one provider to another at any time. You can transfer your ISA into a different type of ISA or to the same type.
You can combine multiple ISA’s using this transfer process. All ISA transfers between providers need to follow the set ISA transfer process, this ensures funds retains their tax free status.
If you want to transfer your ISA balance that has been subscribed during the current tax year, you must transfer this in full. For balances subscribed during previous years you can choose to send a partial transfer.
First, you'll need to have a NatWest Cash ISA to transfer the funds into. Not got one yet? You can find out more about how to open one on our Cash ISA page.
If you've already got a NatWest Cash ISA, or you've just opened a new one, you can start the transfer process by filling out the online Cash ISA Transfer Request form.
If your current ISA provider isn't listed on the online Cash ISA Transfer Request form you can print this paper Cash ISA Transfer Request form, fill in the details and post it to: ISA Transfer Team, Everyday Banking, PO Box 5612, Manchester, M61 0WN.
If you want to transfer a Stocks & Shares ISA, you'll need to complete this paper ISA transfer form.
You'll find all you need to know about how to transfer your ISA savings into a Stocks & Shares ISA on our NatWest Invest pages.
You can transfer your ISA to another bank or building society whenever you like, by following their ISA transfer process. You'll need to check with them how their ISA process works, but once you've kicked it off they'll get in touch with us so we can work with them to get your ISA savings transferred over.

If you’re transferring the funds to any other kind of ISA (whether that’s with us or another bank or building society) make sure you go through the ISA transfer process so you don’t miss out on any of the tax free benefits you get with an ISA.
Taking money out
Up until the Term Start date you can add or withdraw funds from your Fixed Rate ISA. After the start date, you’ll need to wait until the account matures.
Want to make a withdrawal after the cut-off, but before the maturity date? You’ll need to request to close your account by giving written notice to your branch. An Early Closure Charge will then apply, except in the event you pass away.
The Early Closure Charge will:
•Be the lower of the interest earned on your account, or 90 days’ interest
•Be deducted from the balance of your Fixed Rate ISA.
The total amount you receive (including interest earned on your balance) will be no less than your deposit at the start date. For example, if you’ve earned 50 days’ interest, you will only pay an Early Closure Charge equivalent to 50 days’ interest. And if you’ve earned 100 days’ interest, you will only face a charge equivalent to 90 days’ interest.

If your First Reserve account is linked to your mortgage then the balance in your First Reserve savings account offsets your mortgage balance, reducing the amount of interest you pay on your mortgage.
For example, if your mortgage is £80,000 and your linked First Reserve has £50,000 then you would only pay interest on £30,000 on your mortgage instead of £80,000.
If you have paid off your mortgage or removed your First Reserve account from the offset mortgage arrangement, then your First Reserve account works like a normal savings account. Interest will be calculated daily and paid quarterly on the first business day of January, April, July and October.

(Please note all applications should be completed via the online process, the branch should only be used when using the exceptions process.)
- Proof of identity is required from both parties. Forms of identification accepted online will be a valid driving licence, passport, European ID or Biometric Residence Permit along with a selfie photo from the front and side profile.
