Review of the RBS, Basic Current Account:

I'd switch if I wasn't so lazy.

All the basic bank stuff is there and works so it's not all terrible, but customer service is non-english speakers hidden behind an AI "helper" obstruction wall and interest rates are non-existent. Plus they've been up to their eyes in every financial scandal of the last few decades. Reviewed on: 24th May 2024

Good Bank

Always been fine with RBS a good bank to deal with Reviewed on: 16th February 2023

Great Bank

I cannot express how much help and good information I’ve received from RBS a superb Bank that cares for and advises their customers cheers Reviewed on: 16th February 2023

Hassle free banking

I never have any issues with the bank, the app is really user friendly, and app updates are always useful. Turning on ‘round ups’ is a great way to help me save. Reviewed on: 8th February 2023

Good account

The RBS app and website makes it very easy to use my current account. I feel it is safe as there is now face verification too. Reviewed on: 8th February 2023

Useless

Nothing but problems with them. Spent hours and hours on the phone trying to rectify issues, every person telling a contradictory story and blaming somebody else. Nothing ever gets resolved. A complete disgrace to the banking industry. Reviewed on: 2nd February 2023

Does what I need

Have had no issues with the bank, one of the few to keep the branch open in my town. Friendly staff Reviewed on: 1st February 2023

Customer service experience

Both "phone" and face to face in branch attention is nothing short of "complete", friendly attention. Positive and professional resolution of any enquiries in the most efficient and patient manner . So very much respected staff. Reviewed on: 23rd January 2023

Simple, Easy, Clean Banking

The app is what stands out, everything I need is right in front of me when I need it and there are lots of useful tools that help me manage control and grow my money. Reviewed on: 19th January 2023

Good

Very good and easy to use. Nothing to say Reviewed on: 12th January 2023

don't forward switch and save payment like advertised. Deletes ur account and bounces back payments.. W**kers

I switched to monzo with the assurance all payment would go into the new account. for a minimum of 13months later. I have been passed around and not 1 person has solved where my birthday money is which was made on 20.09.2022. I've been on to my old rbs and they say it should be automatic into this monzo account... so where is my payment on £20? fuming with rubbish customer service and not done mived my payment feom rbs like the rules of the switch service states clearly on giv websites. I'm appaled that I haven't got my 20pound. and actually lost trust as how many other payments have not been forwarded like it should.. just bouncing back to sender.. ruined my week and today I'm fuming after being on customer services and no resolve or clue on how much money monzo isn't correctly switching over as advertised... really needed that money it's mine and my old nan won't understand how to send again or back. made me appear like I'm ripping my nan off and caused so many complications in my family life. my nan has lost trust in me as she also knows all payments will be forwarded to new account for at least 13 months after. lost alot of respect for me. and I'm discussed I have to feel like a criminal for either monzo RBS switch service not doing what it clearly says it will do. thanks alot. I suffer with depressing and this has caused people who care about me to be distant and wary.. let this be my official complaint!!! I'd like an apology and explanation to my family why it looks like om extorting my own birthday money. cause alot of stress and anger. now depression to be said its automatic on the customersupport then just ended my chat has only made it worse when should have explained to me /us whats happened banks end... hope you take this seriously. I'm not a bad person and don't deserve to be treated this way.. humiliation. to think I had advertised switch save service to friends and family. just now made a fool of :'((( for the sake of pocket change. thanks alot. not Reviewed on: 13th October 2022
