Set up your bank account
Set up your new card
New to Royal Bank of Scotland?
If you're new to Royal Bank, we'll post your Contactless Debit Card and PIN separately within a few days of opening your account. Once your card arrives we'll explain how to start using it.
Already a Royal Bank of Scotland customer?
If you're already a Royal Bank customer and have recently changed your account, there's no need to set up your card. You get to keep your existing card and PIN.
Let's get started...
Using your bank account
Payments and transfers on the go
You can quickly and securely manage your everyday transactions at the tap of a button with our Royal Bank app.
Find out more about the different ways to pay and receive money
Set up a Direct Debit
Setting up a Direct Debit is an easy way to manage your regular bill payments.
You can view or cancel a Direct Debit online and via the Royal Bank app.
Mobile payments
Using Apple Pay
You can start using Apple Pay as soon as you have added your first debit card to your Wallet on your iPhone, iPad or Apple Watch.
Use Google Pay
Google Pay is the fast, simple way to pay with your Royal Bank debit or credit card in stores and online using your Android device. You will still continue to receive all the benefits and protections you enjoy with Royal Bank of Scotland.
Keep your bank account safe
Protect yourself from scams. The best way to avoid being a victim of one, is to be aware of the common practices and techniques that are used.
Add some extra flexibility on your current account
An arranged overdraft is a short-term way to borrow and can be a really useful way to pay for unexpected bills.
Check bank account charges
Stay in control of your finances when reviewing your statements and transactions.
Taking your debit card on holiday
If you are travelling abroad, register your travel plans with us as this will notify our transaction monitoring systems that you will be using your debit card abroad. This will significantly reduce the likelihood of your card transactions being blocked abroad.
More about using your card abroad
If you have the Royal Bank app, it’s easy to let us know you are going to use your debit card abroad. Just log in, tap the ‘Help’ section at the bottom and then ‘Going Abroad’.
Our accessible debit card
Our accessible card is available on all Royal Bank current accounts.
How it can help if you are blind or partially sighted:
A notch has been carved out of the side, to help you identify which way to insert your card into a cash machine or card reader.
The card has a series of raised dots, so you'll know whether it is your debit, credit or savings card.
On the back of the card, telephone numbers have been increased in size by 50%.
Our cards are issued with flat print numbers. If you require braille, large print or audio fulfilment, please fill in the form below.
Add, change or remove signatories
If you want to:
- Add somebody to your account
- Remove somebody from your account
- Add a Power of Attorney, Court of Protection Deputy or Scottish Financial Guardian
Find out more information on what this means and learn how to request adding, changing or removing signatories online.
Change your current account
If you'd prefer one of our other accounts, you can change your current account online. It's quick and easy to change.
1. View our Premier current account range. Specific account eligibility applies. Monthly fees may apply.
2. After choosing your preferred account option, follow the steps to apply for that account.
When changing your existing account to another, you’ll:
- Keep your existing sort code, account number and debit card. Your existing standing orders and direct debits will stay the same.
- Retain your arranged overdraft limits.
- See no impact to your credit rating.
You need to be a current account holder, 18+ and a UK resident. If you're a non-UK resident, we can only change your current account to our Premier Select account.

- You need to be within the UK
- You must have at least £20 available in your account
- You can withdraw up to £300 from a Royal Bank of Scotland, NatWest or Tesco cash machine if you're a fully active digital or telephone banking customer and if you aren't, we'll still let you withdraw up to £60 to tide you over.
Remember you'll need to have money available in your account before you can withdraw it.
