NatWest-Supporting healthy saving habits during UK Savings
About this update from Natwest Group Plc
Succeeding with customers by helping build financial resilience across the UK . From 22-28 September, UK Savings Week encourages individuals across the nation to develop healthier saving habits. At NatWest Group , we're supporting the campaign by highlighting the tools and features we've developed to help customers build sustainable saving behaviours. Four ways we're helping customers save Digital Regular Saver Our Digital Regular Saver account supports customers to get into a regular savings habit by encouraging them to set up a standing order, to save between GBP1 and GBP150 each month. The account is flexible, allowing withdrawals at any time, and customers can top up their savings if their monthly standing order is below the GBP150 limit. (Eligibility criteria apply.) Round Ups This feature automatically rounds up spare change from everyday purchases and transfers the difference into a savings pot. Since launch, nearly 2 million customers have signed up to use Round Ups-proving that small changes can make a big difference in kick-starting savings. Customers can personalise their settings in our mobile app - including rounding preferences to really boost their savings and multiply the spare change they save by 1, 2, 3, 4 or even 5. (Eligibility criteria apply.) Savings Goal Tool Available in our mobile app, this tool helps customers set and track savings goals, providing a clear view of how much to save and how long it will take to reach their target. Savings Calculator Our online calculator allows customers to compare savings products, estimate interest earnings, and identify the most suitable account for their needs. What the nation's saying about savings? A recent Opinium survey of 2,000 UK adults revealed that: 12% have no savings at all 16% have less than GBP100 21% couldn't cover an unexpected GBP300 expense, rising to 36% for 18-24-year-olds and 31% for 35-44s 27% keep savings in their current account, rising to 31% in the Northeast and 41% among 25-34s However 81% of respondents are confident they could save an extra GBP10 a month over the next year. Supporting financial resilience We're committed to helping more people save more - especially those who may find it harder to get started. Our suite of savings tools and products is designed to support a range of short, medium, and long-term goals, recognising that saving isn't one-size-fits-all. In 2023, we signed the Money and Pensions Service (MaPS) Savings Charter, reinforcing our commitment to helping customers build financial resilience and make the most of their money. We also deliver free Financial Foundations workshops across the UK - aimed at helping people, organisations and community groups to build money skills and confidence. The workshops provide impartial money guidance to individuals - from those starting out on their money journey, to those who are looking to polish up their existing skills or have been impacted by the financial implications of a life event. The programme is designed to empower adults to maintain their finances in control, sustain the resilience to deal with the unexpected, get on track for a healthy financial future and to protect themselves from fraud & scams.
