Fairly sure they’d run it as year average not a minor dip you’ll likely replace, if they even care.

So If I drop down to like 98K or something for about a month and quickly top it back up to 100K they wouldn’t really care?

Shouldn’t do, I’ve no first hand experience but fluctuation happens and I can’t imagine they’d be like nope they entered £99,999.99 so let’s close that account.

1440p monitors look great, and will be fine unless you’re doing design work.
Edit: just realised this is the NatWest thread, I thought it was the recent tech thread lol.

I’ve had a Thinkpad my entire life.
I have always been a Thinkpad user!
But i’m thinking of finally getting a Macbook Pro M3 16" as ive been putting it off for ages and ages.
For my setup at home. I have 3 4K 27" monitors all connected to a Dock that runs off my Thinkpad

Benefits?
All 3 premier account offers the same benefit.
Not sure how new this is but you can now add photos for your payees, which is nice. I wish Monzo allowed this:

Another feature often promised but never finished, I would’ve also wanted this.

Starling have let you add payee photos for years. Are there any other banks that let you do this?
I’m sure monzo did once upon a time but it was a flop.
Was mentioned a month or so ago that the BNPL product was closing down, but another article about it:
Lower than expected use is odd, I wasn’t given the ability to even apply for it. But I tend to use PayPal Credit for 4 months 0% interest anyway.

For those with NatWest Premier accounts, how do they work out your salary requirement?
Say I earn £120k but contribute 30k into my pension, would I not qualify for the account because I don’t meet the 100k requirement?
Just curious how it works.
Thanks. Wonder if my contract will be enough that shows my salary and bonus.
From my experience, if you apply as a new customer they will ask for payslips as a follow on question during the initial application process. I’m putting quite a bit into my pension at the moment so if you looked at my net salary alone it would suggest I’m not earning 100k. I noted this as a comment when I submitted my payslips and they followed on with an additional request for a statement showing the money going into my pension plan.
With Ulster more recently I met the requirement with the 100k minimum savings - I tried to use the form to upgrade and it rejected me without asking for any evidence - a call to premier resulted in a callback to manually upgrade me.
You can also get the Premier Reward which gives you more cash back than the normal Reward account (you get £11 back a month so £9 profit,)
If you need to call, the phone tends to be answered more quickly too. You used to get a named relationship manager, but they’ve recently scrapped that.
