Great Bank

Great bank who are friendly and always there to help Reviewed on: 20th January 2018

Not remotely interested in customer needs. Driven by profit and greed.

RBS have closed our branch, the main branch in the next village and even taken away their cash machines. As we have no post office, I can only withdraw money from 'cashback'. It's a disgrace...our local shops run out of cash because no-one has access to a cash machine...so they limit the cashback facility to £20. How they are able to legally inflict this on rural customers is beyond belief. Reviewed on: 9th January 2018

very fair with charges and great key account

Overall very pleased with current account, fair with the overdraft facility, doesnt load up charges for failed payments and a useful key account feature to separate direct debit payments to try and simplify money management Reviewed on: 7th January 2018

RBS not as bad as many make out

Banked with RBS for 20 years, had no problems with them, professional, polite, good customer service. Informative when asked questions with regards to saving accounts and ISAs. Branches are in convenient locations for me, with parking which is a big plus. I had problems with my credit card (wrong pin inserted at the cash machine), their fraud department rang me straight away to ask if i had my card with me, asking if it had been stolen, lost etc. Impressive. Reviewed on: 3rd January 2018

Moving further away than ever

Our branch is already not able to provide all the services of larger banks and is now scheduled to close. While our current account fulfills many of our needs, not being able to have that personal touch is a loss for us. Reviewed on: 1st January 2018

Not the best

My local branch is closing so i will have to close my account and take my business elsewhere. if they showed more interest in the local communities they would have more chance of remaining open Reviewed on: 31st December 2017

Simple and effective

Simple account does what it says on the tin Reviewed on: 21st December 2017

Help with my house renovation

Quick, reliable service and knowledgeable staff that helped me with every step of my house renovation. From loans to payments to my contractors, nothing was to much for them to assist me with Reviewed on: 30th November 2017
