Natwest Savings Account

[Imakemoney]

Hi guys,
Im wondering if any of you UK people know whether Natwest Savings - (called first reserve) are currently working with paypal?
such as accepting DD and the verification amounts from paypal...
thanks for your help!

If it is the e-savings account then I am just waiting for my pp deposits to come through - prob. tomorrow. I have read on here ntwst e-savings are ok

If it is not the e-savings account you are talking about then I dont know - I think it is not an e-savings you are talking about - sorry.

I just looked into the first reserve and looks interesting - I am interested in your question too - I didnt know about that account until your post so thanks

I will try it next week and can let you know then but hopefully someone else know from experience and can answer the question quicker.

Can you open the e-savings online then?

Ye ive had this first reserve account along when i got my student account yearssss back so thought I may as well use it for a paypal account if anyone knows if first reserve natwest accounts work?

[Alps_a somewhatlegend]

yes e-saving can be opened online in seconds if you already bank with them. At the end of applying, you get the sort cd and ac number straight away.

I think I read on here you can open as many e-savings as you like with nwest!!!

thats great! Do you get a debit card with it or just a savings account online?

I suppose I could set a few up and then just transfer funds to my natwest main account online?

[Alps_a somewhatlegend]

No card came for me - I dont think these guys give a card on that e-saving account - coop give a card though n their evsavings - again easy apply online and you get a card in post for link machines - yeee haaa

Yes.. just do online banking and transfer instantly to your main ntwst account - and the other way if you want. When I opened my ntwst e-savings I transfered a couple of quid to the e-savings just to make sure its live and active and ready to go

I wish someone would let me know if it works with the first reserve natwest accounts.

Hopefully someone will know

Yeah thats great i already have two coop current accounts so make look to opening a savings too!

WARNING!

E-savers DO NOT WORK!

I've tried natwest, rbs, halifax e-savers, All will accept DD, and you will receive all your incoming paypal deposits. Your paypal will be fully verified for 1-2months.

Then, BAM!!!!!!! E-saver bank accounts will be removed from your paypal. It will adventually be kicked back by the bank rendering it useless. So please do not waste your time.

Bummer - big bummer

I made some business plans (dreams) in my head and now I will have to re-think

Thanks for sharing

[Imakemoney]

can anyone else confirm that savings accounts are not compatible with pp in the long term?

and why does tha bank kick it back?

How long ago was the bank added and were you able to safely withdraw to the account? Also did you receive a bank card with this "reserve" account?

[sax4]

A few months ago, still working to this day, yep got a visa card.

oh very good, i thought reserve was some kind of e-saver but i guess its not. Think i'll give that a ago. I already have 3 natwest step accounts, you think i could get 1-2 natwest reserves aswell? hehe

[sax4]

Yeah mate, I have an Advantage Gold account and a couple of FR accounts. Just say you want to have an account for bills as you live in shared accommodation or something. phone up and they give your your account number straight away

[stickmade]

nice one, can i ask, what is an FR account?

[sax4]

First Reserve you big poo

[stickmade]

DOHH! i need sleep lol, thanks.

[ets]

first reserve works, but esavers do not work for most high street banks as far as i know. I got four accounts with natwest and esaver will receive the deposit but thats how far it goes

[cortex]
