Lost or stolen NatWest card while overseas

If your debit card or cheque book is lost or stolen, report it as soon as you can. NatWest's card loss centre takes overseas calls on +44 1268 500 813.

1. Call +44 1268 500 813 as soon as you notice the card is missing. NatWest lists this line as open 24 hours a day.
2. Expect the call to be recorded. NatWest's card loss page says calls may be recorded.
3. Check your phone's rate before dialling. NatWest says the cost of a call depends on which phone line you use.

Credit card enquiries and fraud

NatWest has two overseas lines for personal credit cards. Use the card services line for general questions, and the fraud line only to report fraud on your card.

NatWest's contact page lists the fraud line as "Credit Card fraud Overseas", available 24 hours a day. The card services line is listed on NatWest's card information page for overseas callers.

General banking and a stopped card

For general banking enquiries from overseas, and for a card that has been stopped while you are abroad, call +44 3457 888 444.

NatWest says a card may be stopped as a precaution when account activity looks like known fraud patterns. If that happens, have your customer number and PIN ready. NatWest says these are the same details you use to log in to online banking, and having them ready lets the call be answered faster and more securely.

Rates and what to expect

The 002call rate is $0.02 / min for each NatWest number above.

002call sends your call over the internet, so it skips the international call charges your carrier and hotel phone would add. There is no subscription, and you pay only for the minutes you use. If you are abroad, Wi-Fi avoids mobile data charges.

NatWest's call-charge page says the cost of a call depends on the phone line you are using, the number you dial and the tariff your phone provider charges. Extra charges from a mobile, a public phone or a hotel room are set by that phone or hotel, not by NatWest or 002call.

Before you call

• Have your NatWest customer number and PIN to hand, especially for a stopped card.
• For a lost or stolen card, note the last time and place you had it.
• Have the last digits of the card or account involved ready, so you can match the call to the right card.

Direct Cost Comparisons for Calling Options

Breakdown of Providers

Calls to the United Kingdom from overseas can cost more than expected, especially on hold.

• Carrier roaming: $0.50 - $2.00 / min, depending on the carrier, plus monthly and hidden charges.
• Hotel room phones: hotels often add their own markup to international calls.

Why 002call is the smart way to call

A 20-minute hold on a NatWest line costs $0.40 at $0.02 / min. Roaming and hotel phones can cost more for the same call, and their rates depend on your plan or the hotel. Check those before you dial, and compare them with the 002call rate for the same number.
