Review of the RBS, Select Current Account:

Average bank but you can't really rely on them

When I've had dealings in branch I just can't rely much on the staff for following through on actions they've promised. All the online services are great though. It's just the branch staff are a bit meh. Reviewed on: 17th January 2017

The RBS Select account has a major drawback which in my opinion seriously detracts from the account's usefulness. The account charges fees for failed transactions due to insufficient balances, this encourages users to maintain an excessive balance in their current account, not only missing out on interest, but also leaving them vulnerable to misuse of their debit card. Personally I prefer to transfer money from inaccessible savings to my current account prior to each purchase as an added layer of security protecting my funds from fraud.

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. Nobody can explain why it has been suspended. It is now going to take another 48 hours whilst they ‘investigate’. The call centre are friendly but pretty useless, they won’t provide any further updates and apparently there is nobody else to talk to (apparently you cannot speak to the fraud team). I now cannot access any money. Useless. I’ll be changing back to my previous bank (HSBC), once I can actually access my money again. If you want to keep your money locked up with absolutely no access, then I’d recommend otherwise they are pretty useless. Reviewed on: 16th August 2023
