NatWest Finalises Move of Sainsbury’s Bank Accounts as Final Phase Begins

Sainsbury’s exited banking to refocus on its grocery business.

Overview

  • Roughly 1.8 million customers have already migrated to NatWest, including credit cards on October 3 and loans on October 31.
  • Remaining savings customers are now scheduled to move, with some outlets citing November 30 for the final switch and NatWest guidance pointing to completion by the end of 2025.
  • Customers will lose access to Sainsbury’s Bank online banking and the mobile app after migration and will need to register for NatWest’s digital services.
  • Direct Debits will transfer automatically under the Direct Debit Guarantee, and statements will list NatWest Bank Plc instead of Sainsbury’s Bank Plc.
  • Customers are advised to download savings statements now, and existing Sainsbury’s Bank credit cards can be used until NatWest-branded replacements are issued.
