    It's a good account, as it has almost all the facilities that a current account has, except a chequebook and overdraft. The account comes with a VISA debit card.

    You could shop around for other accounts similar to RBS Key Account, and don't need to stick to one choice. A choice of them here: http://www.moneymadeclear.fsa.gov.uk/pdfs/bank_accounts.pdf
  • It doesnt pay interest like a standard acc.

    I had one before switching to a standard acc..

    Might be worth getting a credit check for a normal acc as they may give you one with no cheque book o/d etc and then you are building up a credit history with rbs.

    It offers no advantages over the 'full' account. Unless your credit rating is pretty awful it's worth trying for the others first.

    I find it ok, but for some reason there are places where the card isn't accepted, for example I can pay for items instore at Tesco, but I can't use the card if I use the pay at pump in the tesco petrol station ?????????
