Does anyone know if any subsequently opened current accounts will also be a Child & Co (or Drummonds) account if you have that as your main sort code? I’ve never actually had a ‘normal’ RBS card.
On another forum someone said it’s not. They were a premier customer and tried to escalate it, it went back and forth, but at the end, the final answer was that it is not longer possible to open an account using these sort codes. I think one person on here might have said the same, but I’m can’t see it from a quick search.
Although I guess you could try if you need a new one, I can’t imagine it impacts your existing accounts, so you get the account you need either way. I’m moving house soon (hopefully), so I’ve been holding off anything that might generate a hard search.

You can try it out by opening a savings account and checking the sort code that they give you.

Fun fact… it’s 56 miles from Berwick upon Tweed to Edinburgh…. but 96 from Castle Douglas. Not sure why that is so interesting to me.
Oh and RBS let me back in today after I appealed their rejection of my application for a Premier Reward, I got 83-17-05 but pretty sure I had this before
Super happy to be back with RBS. They opened my account yesterday it appeared today, I was able to add my debit card to Google Pay, open a regular saver and cash isa in under 5 minutes.
Once my Barclays → Santander CASS finishes, it’s Santander → RBS for me

I did the same with NatWest earlier, everything is moved over and I’ve online banking with the card reader.
Seems to just work and I’m happy it’s a regional sortcode with a branch closeby

I have created a Virtual card and it became available immediately, also added it to Apple wallet. Seems the wait is no longer there.

With RBS moving back to VISA for their debit cards, does anyone know if the Child & Co branding is maintained on new VISA cards?
We should find out fairly soon as the first of us that picked up C&C must be close to card renewal time. Mine’s up around the end of the year.

Are they? NatWest seem to offer both, is it not the same for RBS?

I may be wrong, but I’ve seen posts about RBS/NatWest sending out VISA debit cards rather than Mastercard so I assumed they were moving in that direction.
Nah, they seem to flit between the two and have done for a while. Similar to Revolut
So now I have Ulster Bank Premier. I got the uFirst Private Current Account.
Does anyone know if its possible to upgrade to Premier with the rest of the Natwest Group now I am approved with one?
It isn’t, unless you meet their criteria.
Worth a try. I got Ulster Private Account as they allow you to get the account but hold the requirements somewhere else. So I used my Investment Account.

Do you have to be interviewed to open it or is it all online?
