Been with them for 7 years

RBS provide multiple accounts for different needs. I have been banking with them since I was 15 at school and developed my accounts as I grew up. I have 5 different accounts that I can easily access and view on the app. They offer good interest rates on savings accounts, better deals on mortgages for customers and are easily available to chat on phone, online or in store.

Very happy with RBS service.

Very happy with RBS service. Offered a customer health check a few years ago which helped get me the right accounts for me. Only negative is the closing of local branches but I am mostly a digital banker so I can see why they've had to do this. Reviewed on: 2nd April 2025

All round brilliant

Easy and secure app. Good interest rates. Easy to browse other savings or accounts available to you. Good accurate credit score updates. Easy to monitor and track areas of spend. Reviewed on: 18th March 2025

All round excellence....

I'm not a customer of great wealth, in fact I do have an overdraft facility which I occasionally have the need to use, however my bank (who I've been with since the early 1980s) have always treated me respectfully and offered assistance when they felt I needed it and which at times I have accepted. They have looked after me personally when I had a local branch, and are now continuing to do so over the internet. My account fluctuates due to the fact my pension date changes, but they take this into consideration and always inform me when I am about to go into my overdraft. This account has suited my needs and RBS have always been fair and helpful and have always been there for me. I would, and have done many times, recommended RBS to friends and family. Needless to say I would never change banks; why should I when, as such a lowly customer, I receive such excellent service. Reviewed on: 27th February 2025

Excellent service

They're fine if you're too lazy to find better

They're fine if you want a basic bank account with no interest or perks and can overlook their involvement in most financial scandals. Reviewed on: 26th February 2025

Great local branch giving a top class service.

Great local branch giving a top class service. All banking needs met, and carried out in an orderly manor. Also free with no payments required. Online access is also very well presented and always avaliable Reviewed on: 26th February 2025

I've been with RBS since the Route 17 days and they're just the best ever. Also, their banking app is the most complete I've ever used. Reviewed on: 26th February 2025
