    Unless you actually owe NatWest money - you could apply for a current account and if you get declined then appeal in writing saying that wish to change from RBS.

    You'll probably find the underwriter will open one for you.

    Have a select acct with RBS but NatWest won't give me an acct due to bankruptcy and I want the contactless card. Plus NatWest branches are cool.

    RBS say they can't transfer my acct to NatWest without opening a brand new account

    Different companies under the same umbrella.

    NatWest say their policy is that until 6 years has passed and bankruptcy / DRO drops off credit files- they will only allow a foundation account.

    But RBS opened my select account before my DRO and haven't converted it. DRO has now finished and account still is select account.

    What will happen to the NatWest Scotland branch accounts - will they be changed to RBS?

    What an absolute shambles the whole thing has been, it's been going on for years and still doesn't seem resolved.

    I was under the impression that the Scottish NatWest branches would suffer the same fate as the English RBS ones.

    As the English ones aren't being rebranded to NatWest, I assume the Scottish branches won't either.

    The handful of Scottish NatWest branches are being lumped in with the English & Welsh RBS branches.

    I thought RBS England and Wales were becoming Natwest?

    So the Scottish RBS branches will become Natwest as well, the end of the RBS brand?

    The Scottish RBS branches will rebrand to "Royal Bank of Scotland" as the three letter acronym has been deemed to be to closely associated with the financial crisis...

    No. The RBS branches in England & Wales still have to be sold off and the clock is ticking.

    Scottish RBS branches will stay as they are.
