Summary Box

Account name: Instant Saver account

What is the interest rate?

The interest you earn will depend on the amount you have saved over the course of the year. Interest rates are variable and subject to change.
Balance
£1 – £49,999
£50,000 or over
AER p.a. (variable)
1.81%
1.87%
Gross p.a. (variable)
1.80%
1.85%
Interest is calculated daily and paid on the first business day of the month and at account closure. You'll be able to see and access the interest in your account on the following day. Interest is paid on a tiered basis which means you’ll earn one rate on your entire account balance. If, for example, you hold more than £50,000 in your account your interest rate will be 1.87% AER / 1.85% Gross p.a (variable) on your entire account balance.
Definitions explained

Can NatWest International change the interest rate?

Yes, the rate is variable. We can change rates for any of the reasons set out in section 10.3 of the Personal Banking Account Terms and Fees such as responding to a change in the Bank of England’s base rate.

If rates are going down, we’ll give you at least 60 days’ notice. If rates are going up, we’ll tell you before the change or at the earliest opportunity afterwards. For more details, please read section 10.4 of the Personal Banking Account Terms and Fees.

What would the estimated balance be after 12 months based on a range of deposits?

The amount you deposit into your savings account will determine the interest you earn over the year. In the table below, we list estimates of the interest.
Initial deposit amount
£1,000
£50,000
Balance after 12 months
£1,018.15
£50,932.88
Interest earned
£18.15
£932.88
These are only examples that do not take into account your individual circumstances. They assume that no further deposits or withdrawals are made, there is no change to interest rates; and any interest earned stays in the account.
