I had the same issue and had my standard RBS made my “main account” and then I opened a savings account which turned out to be… Child and Co

I shan’t bother testing it then! Seems like if I ever wanted a non-C&Co branded account i’d have to use the old form. 
Yes, or close your C&c. When I opened an additional current account recently I didn’t get one with the standard RBS sort code of my existing account… I got another Drummonds one. Don’t know if switching my main account from C&C to RBS will make a difference on that but I’m not going to test it anyway

Definitely a case of silly sort codes via old form messing up where your sort code/branch is hahah

No, you just open via the app.
My standard was opened this way, and I got a commoners sort code
I know, but when I did it via app it was Child & Co, tested by opening extra current account, digital regular saver and standard saver, all opened via app and have 15-80-00 sort code.
Strange, as I only had child co account and saver when I did it and got the standard.
Just opened an instant saver and it was child co 
Yeah I really don’t know where it decides which sort code to pick.
I thought opening a “commoners sort code” via old form would change it to my home sort code, which worked for me when changing from Drummonds to Child & Co but I’ve since opened a savings account and it’s Child & Co still lol.

I just opened an instant saver and it was child and co.
Gonna CASS my child co main account out (unsure where yet, first direct maybe).
That’s what happened to me this morning, unsure if it’s savings related and if the same would happen with a current account… Don’t really need a 4th account though so don’t want to chance it.
Could always do it then close one of them lol.
Play the RBS sort code “lottery”

Honestly I’m going to stop trying to figure it out now, I have all the accounts I need and most importantly a different card design for my joint account to avoid any confusion when paying. If everything else is Child & Co then lucky me.
I do wonder if they will eventually phase out the C&Co card design, seems strange they still print them given the bank is gone.
They won’t, they have a lot of important clients to whom history will matter.

Imagine the Lord and Lady’s face when their new debit card arrives and it’s an RBS shed. (i know they stopped the shed, just would be funnier)
It would be handy if Sole/Joint was slightly different with C&Co branding.
I still can’t activate Biometric approval, its been well over a week.
That’s why I’ve gone through the ballache of opening a non Child & Co account via the old form.
It’s only fintech banks that differentiate sole/joint accounts
