Boost your savings rate by up to 2%

Over 18? Earn over £10,000? Want to boost your savings by up to 2% Gross? Then our Savings Accelerator Credit Card could be for you. Typical 16.9% APR (variable)

Savings Accelerator is only available for application in branch or by phone.


What is Savings Accelerator?

Your Savings Accelerator Credit Card is linked to a NatWest First Reserve Savings Account and the more purchases you make on your Savings Accelerator Credit Card, the more you may be able to boost the interest rate you earn on your savings. You will need to open a First Reserve savings account at the same time as you apply for the Savings Accelerator Credit Card.

How can I boost the interest rate I earn on my savings?

Quite simply, all you have to do is use your Savings Accelerator Credit Card to make purchases.

The balance in your Savings Accelerator savings account will earn an interest rate of 0.2% Gross/AER (variable) but you could earn additional bonus interest of up to 2% Gross depending on your Equivalent Monthly Spend. This bonus will be automatically applied in addition to the standard interest rate and such interest will be paid quarterly.

Natwest Black Credit Card

Black Credit Card

How will it transform your life?

Black Credit Card

How will it transform your life?

The most complex plans realised with a simple call. Hectic travel schedules made more human, with executive lounge access and detailed itineraries. And that is only the beginning.

As you might expect, a card with this many benefits is not for everyone. The NatWest Black Card is only available to people over 25 years of age and typically have an income of £75,000 or more. However, we may accept your application if your income is less than this, provided we are satisfied you can repay the minimum £15,000 credit limit, subject to our standard credit assessment.

The benefits of a NatWest Black Card

This is far more than simply a convenient way to pay - even with the minimum £15,000 credit limit.

  • Personal assistant - put your plans into action 24 hours a day, with our concierge service
  • Airport lounge access - a Priority Pass™ card will transform your journeys
  • Travel insurance - annual, worldwide cover with a five star rating from Defaqto, an independent financial research company
Rates and charges of a NatWest Black Card

Typical 51.8% APR (variable). We draw to your attention that the typical APR has been calculated under the Consumer Credit Act regulations which require us to use a £1,500 'notional' credit limit. The £1,500 limit coupled with the £250 fixed annual card fee distorts the advertised APR.

This is illustrated by comparison with the 16.8% APR calculated using the minimum credit limit of £15,000 on NatWest Black Card, as reflected in your card agreement.

Please note that the annual interest rate of 12.420% on your NatWest Black Card remains unchanged. We are not increasing the cost of using your Black Card but are simply complying with regulations.
