Insurance benefits
There’s a range of free insurance benefits that come with an RBS YourPoints World MasterCard.

The item must be the same brand, with the same technical features and manufacturer’s or distributor’s reference number. The item must cost at least £30 and the price difference must be at least £40. This cover does not apply to online or catalogue purchases, discounted or sales items.

Ticket Cancellation
You could be reimbursed if you’ve booked tickets in advance to events such as concerts, sporting events or amusement parks and can’t attend. Insurance applies to you, your spouse and children under 25 if the tickets were paid for with your card.
You are covered for serious illness, death or accident to yourself or close relative, major property damage, vehicle theft or an accident rendering your vehicle unusable prior to the event. It also covers delayed departure of more than 2 hours or cancellation of public transport prior to the event.

Stay in charge
We’ve made it easy for you to take control of your card.
Simple to manage
With credit card online services and online banking it’s easy to check your balance, make a payment and much more. Manage your card online anytime, wherever you are.
Worry-free payments
With a Direct Debit you’ll never miss a bill payment. Make the minimum payment or settle the balance in full every month. We don’t recommend just making the minimum payment. If you do so, it will take you longer and cost you more to clear your balance. You must have enough funds in your account to pay your Direct Debit successfully.
Add an extra cardholder
Is there someone else who could use your card – perhaps a spouse or partner, or another family member? You’ll earn points every time they use the card. As the main cardholder, you’ll always be responsible for the management of the card account.
Increase your credit limit
Once you’ve had the card for at least six months, you can apply for an increased credit limit.
Make a payment to a bank account
It’s easy to transfer money from your RBS YourPoints World MasterCard to any UK bank account. You have to pay interest at the money transfer rate from the date of the transfer. The minimum transfer is £250. See rates and charges.
Cash advance
You can use your RBS YourPoints World MasterCard to withdraw up to £750 a day from cash machines around the world. The amount you can withdraw depends on your credit limit. There’s a 3% handling fee, minimum £3. There is no interest free period for cash advances.
Safe and secure
Wherever you use your card – over the counter, on the phone or online, we take your financial security seriously:
- Fraud text alerts – if we spot what appears to be fraudulent activity on your card, we’ll send you a text
- MasterCard SecureCode – extra protection when you’re shopping online. MasterCard SecureCode is a simple and secure way to pay at thousands of online stores. It uses an additional password, known only to you, which must be entered before a payment can be made with your card. This protects you against unauthorised use of your card online.
- Rapport security software – boost your defences against fraud when you manage your card online. Rapport is an extra layer of security that protects you from fraudsters trying to steal your login information when you use online banking.
Discounts for Royalties Gold customers
If you’re a Royalties Gold current account customer, you’ll get a 1% discount on the typical APR for at least 12 months. Rates are variable. To take advantage of this offer, log in to online banking and apply by clicking on the ‘credit card’ link.
