Child & Co RBS Branch to close

Where is this marketing? I can find it for Drummonds and Holts, not Child and Co

Unless you've won the lottery, you probably won't see the marketing for Drummonds.
Unless you're in the legal professions, you probably won't see the marketing for Child & Co.
None of this marketing exists obviously 'in the clear'; neither have a website. Drummonds is a little more known about because the tabloids have 'what it's like to win the lottery' human interest stories featuring them which they recycle.
Holts does have a website, probably in part because their target market extends to a far wider (but still niche) audience.

Sorry I am very skeptical that Child and Co is being advertised still. These days everything is online, I can't find not a drop of Child and Co. I can for the other banks. Happy to be proven wrong, but I am suggesting the brand is dead.

Child & Co Fleet Street closed in 2022. Your statement would have applied just as much then, as they had no website whatsoever and the only official footprint then as now was a page on the RBS/Natwest Group heritage website.
Drummonds is still open and yet has exactly the same online footprint officially - are you suggesting they're dead too?
Just because you don't see something doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

The reason you can't see anything is because you aren't the target audience. If you were, then Child & Co would come looking for you; you wouldn't need to seek them out.

Hopefully there are people on here who are members of the legal profession who could verify what you say. Very little is ‘hidden’ online unless we’re talking about the dark web.

I think I have stated twice now I am referring to child and co. That’s the only one I can’t find online.
I think it unlikely these days such an operation wouldn’t have an online presence. As I say I am happy to be proven wrong. It is precisely because the branch has closed you would now expect an online presence if the brand was still going.
I might add I have asked my friend who passed the bar in london and he has never heard of the bank. Although he isn’t based in London these days.1 -
How very John le Carré!

Your barrister friend has never heard of Child & Co despite the fact that until 2022 its branch was in a very prominent position at 1 Fleet Street, opposite the Royal Courts of Justice building?
Your friend must have been curiously unobservant during his year at bar school. 🤔

It only took me a few minutes searching online to find the document that RBS issued when they announced that the branch was closing.
It says in here:
"This is what you said:
• Customers were disappointed at the closure of the branch, given that it is a historic brand.
We were able to reassure customers that the Child & Co brand will remain"
