Review of the RBS, Select Current Account:

A solid bank account

RBS provides an over 60s telephone line which is answered quickly by someone who can sort out the problem. The banking service is rock-solid and the app and online service is excellent. Reviewed on: 20th November 2024

Personally I prefer to transfer money from inaccessible savings to my current account prior to each purchase as... Reviewed on: 27th January 2024

Rubbish

Recently opened a current account with RBS. Tried to transfer money from my savings account into my current account and my account was suspended hours later.
