We've already seen a bunch of great apps updated this week and here's another for UK customers of NatWest. The banking app has been updated to version 4.0.0.15 and with it comes a sweet selection of new features and improvements.
Folk in the UK may well remember that back when BlackBerry 10 was in it's early days we were promised a native BB10 NatWest app. That didn't ever happen, but thanks to the power of Android the app that BlackBerry 10 users have on their handsets is indeed the Android one - and it works perfectly - I use it myself.
New in this version:
You can now view direct debits you have set up.
You can now view standing orders you have set up.
Previously you needed to have at least £25 available funds in you accounts to use Get Cash, upon receiving your feedback that amount has been lowered to £10.
You can now download the app on as many BlackBerry devices as you want.
You can now apply for a new or increased overdraft limit.
When making a payment, rather than having to swipe through all the payees you can now search by name for specif ones.
A nice selection don't you think? If you've not used the app before you can download it for free and it runs on all BlackBerry 10 devices.

Why has the author not mentioned RBS? Take it James banks with natwest retail banking? He does know RBS owns it right and natwest is just the brand name for the retail branches???

Same update is available for the RBS app too. Same features
Posted via CB10
Yes, RBS own natwest. Common stupid English mistake. RBS designed the app, natwest is just the skin and brand name.

Good to see some native 'Berry banking. :-D
I wish I could say that about our native Aussie banking plants, Commonwealth Bank, NAB, BOQ, SunCorp, ANZ, St. George, Westpac and the rest...

My thoughts exactly! 2 years of BB10 & Barclays still won't give us an app. Was using an APK that someone had posted on here, but can't even use that now as they've update the app & it won't let me continue using without the update!...
Posted on CB10 with my Passport but previously my Q10
Does the update not work or do you not have access to it?
Posted from my Q10 via the power of "Q"
The APK I was using the was fine until the update. Then the app displayed a note saying I needed to update & at the same time wouldn't allow me to open the app. So I updated & that was that. No app. It just closed as soon as it launched. Dead. I know that others who were using the APK were also trumped by this, until someone is able to extract the APK again so that we can run the app...

No snap option?

Unfortunately though, if you have a NatWest Business account this app won't work. I used to do business banking on my 9900 quite happily until I changed my handset over to the Z30.
Only for NatWest personal account customers - be warned
Barclays say they are "working hard" to get their barclaycard app on bb10 on the website...I wonder why some but not all the banks will allow their apps to run on "rooted devices "? Anyway, Barclays and lloyds, hope you're listening.

Valid Passport!
Does not matter where you get it it's the same app just check the version # and use the newest one.

I'm sure you meant 'specific'. Do you get to blame autocomplete or not-quite-awake syndrome? ;)

I would not hold your breath with regards to Barclays. I've contacted them several times over the last 2 years and get completely contradictory answers. We're working on it. We have no plans. We're working on it. We have no plans.... muppets
Well done Natwest team though.
Anybody bank with TSB? I have an outdated android app that works for it, via an APK, hope it is safe. But cannot get the current android version to work via Snap.

Not available for Passport. I've tried.

Can you snap a picture of your check and deposit it into your account?

+1 still waiting (with little hope) for Barclays .
Posted via CB10
I'm still waiting for Barclays too.... they've always come back and said that they tried to port the app, but it was too difficult.

I might switch to Natwest. No hope with Barclays :/

I've just changed banks because of the BlackBerry support!

The link at the bottom of the article is to the old app that was decommissioned yesterday.
