How long for RBS card reader?

There seems to be a problem transferring money out of the newly opened RBS accounts & so you need a card reader. Fair enough i suppose.
Ordered a card reader for 4 people (ordered through each account) on Sunday 30th June.
Still waiting on them for all 4 people at 2 different addresses. How long do these things take to arrive?

You can transfer up to £750 via app with no card reader needed - is that an option?I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Credit Cards and Budgeting & Bank Accounts boards.

Ah so you can do it via an app but not online?sausage_time wrote: »You can transfer up to £750 via app with no card reader needed - is that an option?
Not really fussy how it's done. I'll take a look.
My nearest branch is about 30-40 miles away.Some branches hand them out if you ask0 -
Do you have another card reader for a different bank? If so try it, sometimes they are universal.Mortgage started 2020, aiming to clear 31/12/2029.0

As the above poster says, other card readers will work with it.
Barclays and nationwide are two that I know of.Whilst my posts do not constitute financial advice, I am always, without fail, 100% right!

The problem the OP may have as happened to me when I tried to change the address on my recently opened NatWest account is that despite saying "No thanks" to ordering a card reader because I had one, they wouldn't let me access the page because they didn't think I had a card reader.
It may be different for transfers but I had to just give in and accept a completely unnecessary card reader just to satisfy them and it took a few weeks to arrive.0 -
Barclays, NAT West and Nationwide card readers are all interchangeable. Try one of them, or ask to borrow one from a friend or neighbour#2 Saving for Christmas 2024 - £1 a day challenge. £325 of £3660

I was told by RBS that if I waited 2 days after ordering a card reader, I would then be able to use pretty much any other card reader that I had. I did and it worked just fine.0

That occurred to me but thankfully I managed to phone them up and change address.
It's still ridiculously wasteful to not let people say "I have a card reader" and let them get on with their business.0
