Overdrafts

If you need some extra money and you're over 18 with a NatWest Current, Current Plus, Advantage Gold or Advantage Private account, a Credit Zone Overdraft could give you the flexibility you need. Once you've agreed your facility with us, you can use it at any time - without having to contact your branch. There are other overdraft facilities specially designed for students and graduates.

Advantage Private and Advantage Gold customers enjoy a tailored interest rate.

Great flexibility because you can borrow up to your approved limit at any time, plus you:

  • can increase or decrease your limit whenever you want
  • only pay monthly interest on what you borrow (when within your agreed limit)
  • don't have to renew your overdraft
  • can protect your repayments against the unexpected with Credit Zone Protector Plus

It's easy to apply

  • Online - If you are a NatWest online banking customer, you can apply from within online banking. Simply go to the 'Apply OnLine' section and select the 'Request an overdraft' option.

We will then confirm our decision and, if your request has been successful, we will apply the new overdraft limit within 48 hours.
