Introducing payments for Android
Managing your money on the move is now even easier
We've listened to what you told us. That's why we have developed a custom mobile banking app for Android.
Statements
See your latest transactions for all your accounts that you manage using Digital Banking including:
- Current accounts
- Savings accounts
- Credit cards
- Loans
- Mortgages
Expand them to view detail and search transactions from up to seven years ago on some accounts.
Payments
Pay your friends, family, credit card or utility bills - just set up and make your first payment to each new payee in Digital banking beforehand.
Transfers
Move money between your accounts. Transfers are processed immediately and your balances are updated.
Pay your contacts
Pay your contacts enables you to pay someone using just their UK mobile number. You don’t have to know their account details.
You can use this service to
- Pay someone with a RBS/NatWest mobile app. Payee will be notified by SMS and funds will reach the payee’s account instantly. Sum of all such payments to RBS/NatWest app users in a day cannot exceed £250.
- Pay someone who does not have an RBS/NatWest mobile app but has a valid UK Visa debit, credit or prepaid card. You will have to inform your contact separately about the exact amount. This will be a secret between you and your contact. We’ll send your contact a text message notifying them of the payment but not the amount. The text message will have a link to a Visa payment collection site. On this collection site your contact will have to enter the exact amount and their Visa card number. Payee has 7 days to collect a payment from the day they receive the notification. We’ll notify you by text message when they’ve collected the payment and your balance has been debited. Sum of all your payments to non RBS/NatWest app users cannot exceed £250.
‘Pay your contacts’ limits are independent of daily withdrawal and Get Cash limits.
See our page on common questions on making payments for more information.
