Review of the RBS, Graduate Current Account:

Overall great - pro: overdraft, con: taste card

Overall I've been happy with this account. The overdraft available was a big factor for me. Would say that the offer of a taste card is a bit odd...surely a graduate railcard would be a bit more useful? Reviewed on: 7th May 2015

Does the job

No interest on credit in the account, but the arranged overdraft charges aren't as bad as they used to be at least. Still not a huge fan due the massive taxpayer bailout though. Reviewed on: 25th November 2019

Excellent account great perks

A great account with good perks for students Reviewed on: 2nd January 2019

Improved!

Their overdraft charges have improved if nothing else. Reviewed on: 13th November 2018

Meets my needs

Have had this account for a while now and the arranged overdraft feature is much appreciated. Never had any issues Reviewed on: 7th November 2018

Has definitely improved

I used to level some withering criticism of RBS, their charges, interest rates, customer services etc, but they have improved. Just recently I was repaid money that I had withdrawn and forgotten to take from the cash point... in 2009! Their overdraft charges have improved too, and their app is rather good. Though, they really need to sort out their desktop based online banking: For some reason that beggers belief, you fill out the various passwords and codes, only for them to te...

Great way to gradually pay of student overdraft

I had an overdraft of £1500 and this is gradually reduced, ensuring you are constantly paying of a little more and a little more Reviewed on: 12th November 2017

It does the job

They have unilaterally changed the T&Cs and overdraft charges more times than I can remember. Suffice to say there is no meaningful interest on a positive balance either. They also overcharged me in some way (I'm not sure how), though to their credit, they actually voluntarily paid the money back. I deeply suspect this was due to the threat of a slap on the wrist from a regulator! Reviewed on: 1st December 2016

Brilliant service

RBS offer a wonderful graduate account that caters to every need that a student might have. I found RBS to be extremely helpful and understanding. Reviewed on: 24th December 2015

Poor app

I've found the app to be unreliable a few too many times. Communication when issues are detected could also be better. Reviewed on: 10th September 2015

Nicely done

Good level of service whenever I require anything from them...which isn't that often tbh - but good to test the RBS level of service now and then! Reviewed on: 3rd June 2015
