Has anyone else noticed you can't make payments (i.e send money to another bank account) on RBS online banking? I used to be able to, but apparantly need a 'card reader' now??

    Virtually all banks and building societies require you to have a card reader.
    I'm not cynical I'm realistic :p

    If you don't already have a card reader for your RBS account online, you can order one through the side menu under Account Admin > Order Card Reader.


    I've used it myself to pay for bills online too, so it's for more than just transferring funds.
    Anything that I do say, is strictly my opinion :p

    Got one now, should be coming soon.
    Maybe I've just not done it in a while but wasn't the way it used to be the last time I did it!

    Halifax doesn't, nor Abbey. I doubt HSBC require a card reader either.

    Nationwide requires card reader for every one-off payment as well as setting up the payee in the first place.
