Current account not showing on any of the credit reference agencies

I have an RBS select current account, it's a very old account, constant activity, wages paid in, direct debits/regular card payments go out, has an arranged overdraft, details appear correct. It's not listed on any credit report. My RBS mortgage is listed on all of them.

I also have a Nationwide current account, a few years old,  £0 balance, never used, inactive. It's on all my credit reports.

Why is this, and does it matter?

I'll shortly be applying for a new mortgage.

TIA

    Chances are it'll be the age then - I don't know exactly when current accounts started being reported to credit agencies but IIRC it was within the last 30-40 years so very old accounts may predate this.
