Everything I need and nice and simple

Excellent online banking, with a minimum of fuss. The security functions are good and the software is visually pleasing and easy to use. Reviewed on: 12th February 2016

Adequate but never satisying

3
I use a variety of branches of my bank. I have only had a good experience in one. My two closest branches are the most disappointing. I have been given false information, refused a receipt, abused for asking for a receipt, perpetually lectured about online banking which I don't want and attended a hilarious mortgage meeting where they could give me no information at all "because rates could change" even though I looked up the info on their website. I did learn that their ex-husband refuses to pay maintenance and that their son sits around in their pants playing computer games. More Jeremy Kyle than the Help to Buy meeting I requested.

Staff in local branch are very helpfull even when phoning Reviewed on: 12th February 2016

Decent people in the Bank branch, unsatisfactory account handling

3
Although I always have pleasant contact with people who work at the Bank branch of RBS, I'm not satisfied with the overdraft fees and charges. They are extortionate and although I signed up for warnings, I only occasionally seem to get them. Reviewed on: 12th February 2016

Top notch service

5
I love my bank (RBS) because it's the only bank I've had that I don't have to queue for 3 hours, the cashiers recognise you, you can ring your local branch and speak to someone there, and the manager always pops out to speak to people waiting in the queue. Reviewed on: 11th February 2016

Always friendly

A personal service

5
I love my Bank, RBS, the local branch is friendly, the staff are great and they go out of their way to offer a local, personal service Reviewed on: 11th February 2016

Never let us down.

5
I have had a joint current account with RBS for over 30 years and throughout that time we have never had any problems. In fact they let us open 2 current accounts so my bills could be controlled separately from my day-to-day living expenses. When I needed to open another account to put money into trust, as instructed to do so in a will, they were the only bank that were interested in letting me do it! Their online banking service is really easy to use. Reviewed on: 26th January 2016

Not once had a problem great bank

Been with bank since i was a kid always very helpful with all enquirers would recommend everyone to join xx Reviewed on: 18th January 2016

Basic, but not boring

5
I don't consider that i'm a regular visitor to RBS bank yet the staff recognise me and have a friendly chat often mentioning the conversation we had previously. I think that it quite some achievement when they must get hundreds, if not thousands, of customers walking through their doors every month. Reviewed on: 4th January 2016
