RBS Basic Current Account reviews (240)

Review of the RBS, Basic Current Account:

POOR BRANCH NETWORK

2
RBS ARE CLOSING LOCAL BRANCHES. IN OUR AREA THREE HAVE CLOSED IN RECENT MONTHS. THAT HAS RESULTED IN HUGE QUEUES AT THE NEAREST REMAINING BRANCH TO US. RBS CLEARLY HAS NO IDEA HOW MUCH DAMAGE THIS IS DOING TO ITS ALREADY THREADBARE REPUTATION - THEY SHOULD BE EXPANDING SERVICE TO LOCAL COMMUNITIES, NOT REDUCING IT. Reviewed on: 15th November 2017

Simple setup

Simple and fast to setup the account with RBS online. Reviewed on: 29th March 2023

Good retail bank for Scottish customers

5
Within England, RBS is an amalgamation of several banks, such as William's & Glynn's. Why not migrate RBS's retail customers to NatWest, which still has some local high-street branches where staff can handle transactions that require face to face contact. Reviewed on: 22nd March 2023
