RBS account but moving to England.

archieboy

I'm shortly moving from Scotland down to England. At present I have a saving account with debit card with RBS. There is no RBS branch I my new town but I believe RBS own NatWest. Would I be able to access my RBS account at NatWest. I expect it wouldn't be a problem to use ATM and my debit card to make cash withdrawals but it was depositing money that I wasn't sure about.

You can use your debit card in any UK ATM. But I doubt you can get any counter services for RBS accounts at any Natwest branch. Best ask RBS/Natwest.

If you can bear the hassle it might be worth considering opening a new current account south of the border. Several outfits offer you payments to open new accounts with them. Or interest on the new account.

As at about 6 months ago, seems this wasn't possible. A friend of mine banked with RBS, couldn't be fagged travelling 10 miles to branch to make a deposit, so tried his luck at Natwest. Computer said no, and staff at Natwest were quite amused by his reasoning. Maybe they haven't got the memo

Yup, I use Natwest when I have no access to RBS. There is a limit on withdrawals though.

Thanks everyone for their replies.

Dragonista, have you been able to make deposits at Natwest or is it just withdrawals?
