Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) is the latest big name on the high street to offer cash incentives to motivate new and existing customers to stay with them, fending off fierce competition from HSBC, Nationwide, Santander, LLoyds and Virgin Money.

RBS is offering £150 to new and existing customers who switch and stay by 5pm on November 18, 2021.

New to Royal Bank customers can apply to switch to a Select or Reward account along with existing customers who can also apply to switch to Reward Silver, Reward Platinum or Reward Black. The Reward account gives customers £4 per month for two Direct Debits and an additional £1 for logging onto online banking, but it also carries a monthly fee of £2.

Customers can also benefit from regular retailer cashback offers.

Royal Bank’s Select account has no monthly fee and has the benefit of GetCash which enables customers to withdraw money from a cash machine without their bank card using a passcode sent to their mobile phone.
