NatWest Bank Address: What to Put on a Form
If a form is asking for the NatWest bank address, here is the answer to copy:
250 Bishopsgate, London EC2M 4AA
That is the registered office, and it works for every NatWest account on any form: payroll, Direct Debit, or an international transfer. A form asking for your NatWest "bank address" wants one thing: an address on file for the bank. The registered office at 250 Bishopsgate is that address, for every NatWest account.

🏦 What to put for bank address
You probably don't need it
Your employer does not need it
Payroll runs on BACS, which routes on sort code and account number only. The address box is a hangover from paper forms. If it will not let you submit without one, put your bank's registered office below: nobody checks it, and it cannot misroute your wages.
NatWest registered office

Registered offices taken from each bank’s own website in August 2026: check NatWest’s current details. Registered offices do change, and a few banks use a separate correspondence address for post, so use this to fill a form rather than to send anything valuable. Nothing you select here is sent anywhere.
Why this address, and not a branch
National Westminster Bank plc is registered at 250 Bishopsgate, London EC2M 4AA. NatWest and Royal Bank of Scotland are part of the same group but remain separate banks with separate registered offices, so an RBS account should not use this page's address: RBS is at 36 St Andrew Square, Edinburgh.
You do not need your branch's address, even if you know it. UK payments route on sort code and account number alone, and the registered office is correct for every NatWest account on any form.
When the form actually needs it
Most of the time it does not. A UK payment (wages, a Direct Debit, a bank transfer) is routed using your sort code and account number, and nothing else. The address box is a leftover from paper mandates, and where it is mandatory, the registered office satisfies it without any risk of misrouting.
The exception is a payment from abroad. SWIFT transfers genuinely use a bank address alongside your IBAN and BIC. For payments from abroad, use the registered office as the bank address, with the IBAN from your app or statement and the BIC NatWest shows in its international payment details (NWBKGB2L).
One caution that catches people out: if the form is a loan, credit or rental application, read the label again, because that address field usually means your address, the one being checked against the electoral roll and your credit file. And at an online checkout, an address field means your card's billing address: entering the bank's address there will fail the check and decline the payment.
Frequently asked questions
Are NatWest and RBS the same bank for address purposes?
No. Same group, different banks. NatWest's registered office is 250 Bishopsgate, London; RBS's is 36 St Andrew Square, Edinburgh. Use the one that matches the name on your card.
What do I put if the form asks for a branch name too?
The branch that holds your account if you know it, or simply the registered office. Nothing checks this field against a live branch list.
General information, not financial advice. Registered offices can move: the address above was verified in August 2026, and the bank's own site is always the final word. For other banks, see what to put for a bank address.
