Child & Co RBS Branch to close

WillPS

Lots of reports of Drummonds cards being issued now, so I gave it a go myself and according to Google Pay I have indeed been issued a Drummonds branded Mastercard.

Is that for a new card or a replacement for an existing one?

Brand new Select account for an existing RBS (Child's) customer, using the old rbos.com form.

Would you be able to provide a link please to that form. I can't seem to track it down.

Many thanks,

Received the card today, it's a fair bit worse than I imagined actually, dislike it even compared to the NatWest one. Would recommend Child & Co (15-80-00) if it's still available.

Thank you!   I had my wits about me, it would have been sensible to look back through the thread.

I have just gone through the application process with the Drummonds Sort Code (already have a Child Account).

I received an application confirmation reference number and advised that I would receive an email with regard to further documentation that might be required.

I doubt very much that I would meet 'Premier' requirements. I'll report back on what occurs.

Thanks,
David

Have you applied for Premier or are you suggesting that you need to be a Premier customer to get a Drummonds account (spoiler, you do not).

No, didn't apply for a Premier Account - just completed the details on the aforementioned form and used the Drummonds sort code. 

Will be interesting to see what happens and how long it takes for the account to be up and running and a card issued.

Thanks,
David

If you’re an existing customer, it should go:

Day 0: you get email with the application ref
Day 1: Text to say your number has been updated
Day 2: account shows in online banking
Day 3: card can be added to Apple or Google Pay from the app

This all happens overnight from one working day to the next calendar day. So Saturday you might be able to add card to mobile wallet already, otherwise it’ll happen after the bank hols.

With the obvious caveats here are that:

1. RBS in England & Wales (plus NatWest in Scotland) are essentially closed to new business.
2. Retail Child & Co is essentially closed to new business.
3. Retail Drummonds is alive for the time being but no promises over longevity.  
4. Using legacy RBOS forms may result in NatWest Group closing all your accounts.
