£100 Switching To RBS

Ryza67

Royal Bank of Scotland are offering £100 if you switch to them. The thing is, because am only a student getting £30 a week from college I was wondering if they offer a basic account that I can switch to that wont cost me anything.

Thanks

I am sure they offer student accounts - have you checked their website?

Yeah, however I think its only for university students, and am a college student studying a NVQ course.

Looks like another one added to the fold of join up and we'll give you £100. Appears to be no minimum payment - just blag and run.

From previous posts, seems like they made this offer last year as well.

Cheers guys. Does anyone know anymore info on this at all? Also, in that 2-4 weeks it takes to complete the switch, will I still recieve my EMA into the bank account I am going to be closing?

2-4 weeks.. if halifax are anything to go by it'll be 2-3 months!! :rotfl:

as for Educational Maintenance Allowance (Had to look that one up ), you probably don't have to close the other account(likewise can see no info on the £100 switching with rbs for T's&C's). I would leave it open and transfer afterwards..

Its ROYAL Bank of Scotland and switching TO. My current bank is BoS/Halifax lol.

Ok, I'll give RBS a phone in a few minuts then to query

Unfortunately I'm going to HBoS..After over 5 weeks they've only *just* sent a letter to my existing bank, hence just saying it may be more than 2-3 weeks. Halifax were quoting 'within 4 weeks'. If rbs get inundated, it may take longer...I wasn't getting HBoS and Rbs mixed up, we're not all sassenachs!!
