Problems You Might Face When Requesting a NatWest Account Fees Refund

Moreover, the online Customer Support platform isn't actually designed for supporting this complaint type.

  1. Loans
  2. Mortgages
  3. Credit cards

Calling in to speak with a live representative could leave you waiting in the customer service queue for a considerable amount of time. When you do reach a representative, you may have a hard time stating and proving your case.

The Timeline for a NatWest Account Fees Refund

If you request a NatWest account fees refund for overdraft charges that you believe are excessive, the related refund can be applied to your account as soon as they are approved by a member of the NatWest Customer Care Team. However, refunds for misassigned or mis-sold PBA accounts can take significantly longer to calculate and process.
