In-branch staff at RBS are great & very helpful

I have remained a loyal customer of RBS because the in-branch staff provide a personal and very helpful service. They know you by name, and go out of their way to assist in any way at all. A trip to the branch is an enjoyable & easy experience. Although there have been one or two issues with RBS on-line Banking, overall I am very satisfied with its ease of use, easy access and flexibility. So far I have not been tempted to move Banks, despite some of the adverse publicity su... Reviewed on: 13th February 2015

Amazed by the kind and overwhelmingly helpful staff!

My first experience with this bank was when I set up my very first bank account, an experience I thought would be daunting. But the staff at RBS were amazing. They were completely understanding and I had an account set up in no time. it was a very positive experience and I actually look forward to going to the bank as I know that I am going to be greeted by the most courteous and friendly staff.

Not bad but not great

Good customer service reps but if you dare step out of line or make a mistake e.g go in to an unaranged overdraft it costs you a fortune to put right and the fines seem to come out when there is no money in your account this making a vicious circle. Reviewed on: 15th January 2015

Friendly staff make the difference for me

This is a basic account, but I enjoy going into my local branch and talking to the staff face-to-face. Makes all the difference and keeps me happy Reviewed on: 14th October 2014

Does what it says on the tin...most of the time!

I've had this account for ages. Don't know if there are better banks out there, but this one is ok most of the time. Card stopped working once. Reviewed on: 13th October 2014

Such a solid bank.

Solid service, solid bank. I have always found them to action requests promptly and competently. Reviewed on: 9th October 2014

Good customer service from both the branch and online but have card issues!

I find the branch and online call centre to be more than helpful and efficient, however I have had issues with using my debit card of late. It crashes the pay at pump service at Tescos petrol station and have experienced issues with it authorising cash withdrawals and payments in shops on selected days despite funds being available. Luckily I had alternative cards to use but if not I would have been in a very difficult situation. Reviewed on: 9th October 2014

Overall ok service, but 1 percent cash back makes it a pretty good deal

Love the 1% cashback feature. I have never needed the emergency cash service, but good to know that it's there Reviewed on: 6th October 2014
