    I'm not going to argue with you anymore, we are going around in circles. I fail to see how it is baseless, again the entire thread is about obtaining a branded card which has no practical benefits whatsoever. I have stated the facts and my opinion of the matter which I still stand by. I believe statements being printed on cheaper paper is bad for the brand, even if it wasn't the highest quality paper to start with, regardless of anything else. Anyone who does not agree, fair enough. But it isn't a crazy idea, some brands so care about such matters. Please do ask your personal banker at Trafalgar Square what his opinion is on the matter.......

    It is without basis. Child & Co branded statements have always been printed on the same type of paper as all other RBS ones, just with different branding.

    That paper has decreased in quality for all RBS accounts.

    No patterns can be deduced, other than this a very dull circular discussion.
  • Hey, does the old form still work to pick sort code? It looks redesigned verses how it looked at night or at Ulster?

    Not sure, I did mine a few months ago. Are you going for Child or Drummonds?

    Nvm, the form still works.
    Going for Childs.

  • Can you still get Child&Co and Drummonds debit cards?

    Yes. I applied for a Drummonds account a couple of weeks ago and got the Drummonds branded card.

    The child card is a better design in my opinion.

    I have both. It's all very irrational, but I prefer the Drummonds card since there is still an actual Drummonds branch. I agree the Child & Co card looks better, but the Drummonds card looks really good in Apple or Google Pay - and that's where I use it. Drummonds is the account where my pensions and earnings go and the one I use day to day. I never carry the actual cards around with me.
