NatWest customers 'delighted' with major savings change for every app user

NatWest customers who use the bank's app can now opt-in for a Round Up service - and bank account holders are delighted.

If you can't get your head around saving or maybe you're up for putting away a bit more, 'Round Up' services allow customers to save spare change automatically on everyday transactions.

Many banks have offered the service for a long time - with the likes of Monzo and Lloyds having the option to round up your transaction to the nearest pound as standard.

NatWest account holders headed to Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK to share the news.

A post with the caption "FINALLY NatWest are doing round ups!" racked up a massive 1.5k comments.

"Genuinely wish Barclays did this!! What a great idea!" replied one Facebook user.

Another wrote: "I’ve just started using it and it’s slowly building up and you don’t even notice it going, great little app."

Here's how the service works:

  • Pay with your debit card or contactless device - say it's a coffee for £2.30
  • NatWest will round up to the nearest pound
  • NatWest sends your spare change, in this case 70p, to your savings account

Round Ups starts working as soon as you turn it on, and includes any debit card or contactless payments already pending.
