Pointless but amusing waste of time I have operated an RBS business account for 2.5 years, the account has existed for about 7 years. No matter what I try I cannot view or download state... Read more Reviewed on: 11th June 2022

Review of the RBS, Business Banking:

Never had a problem

5
I have been with this bank for over 40 years, I joined it as Williams & Glynns, I have honestly never had a problem, they have always been helpful and any issues have been quickly resolved. I opened a business account with them 2 years back and it has been seamless working between my current accounts etc. I have only one issue, they are asking us to move bank as the Government are forcing them to shed people, due to having a monopoly of business customers. The problem is, the banks recommended are reviewed as very poor, so I'm a bit worried to move. I am very happy with my experience over the past 40 years, I think they are very good Reviewed on: 16th March 2019

Owned by the people but run by literally a load of ?ANKERS

1
What a joke Very keen to lend to anyone on anything especially buy to let property in the good old days BUT when the gouging gets tough,they run a mile,and as for support,what a joke,I have been banking with this lot for over 14 years 9 of which I have never seen or heard from my so called business manager Get rid of the lot,bring on the crowd funding and peer to peer guys And let's hope the really good old banking days are well and trolley over for this lot Reviewed on: 31st August 2017

Great customer service

4
I have been a personal customer for a number of years so it made sense to use them for business they had a great introductory offer of no fees for a year and are always on hand to help Reviewed on: 21st July 2017

A bank not to bank on

2
Bank has gone down hill in last year lost all it's personal touch you can't speak to anyone in branch anymore faceless and frustrating Reviewed on: 21st July 2017

amazing service

5
Amazin service, highly recommended Reviewed on: 10th December 2016

Simple to open a business bank account

5
I have opened two business accounts with RBS this year and they have both gone very smoothly. My Business Account manager even came and met me at my work to ensure all the paperwork was completed. I have been with RNS for over 20yrs and have to say I have never had any major issues, the little one's I have had they have addressed super quick - the test of a good company is when something goes wrong and how they handle it. I've been quite impressed with RBS over the years. Reviewed on: 9th December 2016

Only just opened

3
I have only just opened my account. The customer service is good but it has been quite complex to access online banking. I definitely think that the process of opening an account can be improved. Reviewed on: 12th February 2016

Horrific

1
Our experience with RBS has been horrific. From a long account opening period (over 5 weeks from kicking-off the enquiry) to a sheer lack of interest in our business ever since. Reviewed on: 12th February 2016

Decent local service

3
Although RBS offer a decent local service, the relationship management site could be much stronger. Reviewed on: 12th February 2016

Failed to help a thriving business with cashflow issues

2
They should better understand our needs. Our business has grown year-on-year but we found ourselves with short-term cashflow issues which they did little to help us out with. Reviewed on: 5th February 2016

Pro: Telephone - Con: Online

5
Telephone system can be very frustrating when agents have a very strong accent. Online facilities are good though. Reviewed on: 21st January 2016
