RBS Key Account Upgrade

partan

just checked, this is from their site

Cards that contain the cheque guarantee hologram can still be used to guarantee cheques until 30 June 2011. However even if your card still has the cheque guarantee hologram after the scheme closes on 30 June 2011 you can no longer use it to guarantee cheques.

Their website refers to contactless cards issued by the end of 2010, so they've missed that target!

Yeah the bank already issue contactless cards but that was only to staff members as part of the trial.

The bank have not made an annoucements when they will be rolled out to the general public as yet to my knowledge.

I'm not sure I want one even when they are issued. I'm not convinced about their security.

I think the RBS groups next mission is to go contactless however im unsure when that will take place to be honest. They have been trialing it since about 2007 lol

When I first read that I thought contactless meant it would not be possible to contact the RBS

It's contactless, you don't need to enter it into a chip and pin machine. Works like the London Oystercard.
