Switch to an RBS Current account


We offer a range of benefits on our current accounts to

make sure you can manage your money every step of the way.

Emergency cash

Get emergency cash from our ATMs if you lose your debit card.

You can access up to £300 from your account if you are an online or telephone banking customer and if you aren’t, we’ll still give you up to £60 to tide you over – these amounts are providing you have the money available in your account.

As a minimum you must have £25 available in your account to use this service.
