Natwest super simple £200 switch deal

Easiest switch deal on the market by far

Natwest are offering one of the best switch deals i’ve ever seen!

£200 and paid within 30 days - no direct debits needed!

Simply pay in £1250 (can be multiple payments), easy £200

One of the best savings accounts for bigger deposits (hard to find)

Monmouthshire building society - £500 a month/ 6% interest

This is a great savings account allowing you to deposit up to £500 a month @6% interest.

This isn’t the highest interest rate(co op + first direct offering 7%) however this allows a much higher deposit. Making it much more useful for people wanting an account to allow them to deposit more - if maxed out for 12 months, this will pay £193 in interest.

You can also skip months and have penalty free withdrawals - open in the App or branch (not available to to Northern Ireland residents)
