    I've got a Child account and an RBS World Visa Credit Card so nope basically.

    It would be nice if child privatised into its own branch again, I can see this happening.

    They keep trying to call me and I keep missing the calls.

    Update, all branch switches are frozen at the moment due to santander pulling out. However i can pop into branch with usual passport utility bill etc to open a 2nd select account with them.
  • Hello the card I received is an RBS card starting 4751 16

    Anyone know if I can get a Drummonds (or Childs & Co if I switch branch) branded debit card, I do have a feeling that I can't and it's RBS only unless private banking but thought I'd ask :)

    I had a bad debt with Natwest nine years ago. If apply for Child & Co will they take my bad Natwest history into account? Do they use the same internal systems?

    No idea about Drummond, but if your RBS current account happens to be held at their 1 Fleet Street branch (Child & Co), your card will be a gold one branded C&C (mine is anyway, standard RBS Select account, no monthly fees).

    Really? So I could change my branch and ask for a new card/cheque book and it'll come branded as Child & Co... Interesting :D

    Edit: Does anyone know if you can change your local branch? I can't figure out how :(

    Where do you sign? There doesn't seem to be a signature line...

    I've got one of those. I just signed in the space under the amount - never had any issues.
  • RBS select at Drummonds is different design to normal RBS braches but nor Drummonds branded
