RBS has launched a new £175 switching bonus that comes in 2 parts. You can get £125 when you switch to an eligible account and an extra £50 if you open a Digital Regular Saver. Here’s all the details on how to get the money, plus a little extra. For a full list of switching deals on the market, you can visit our switching deals guide.
How much will you get?
You get £125 within 30 days of meeting the eligibility criteria listed below. To get the additional £50 you need to open a Digital Regular Saver within 60 days of completing your switch. With the Digital Regular Saver you can earn 5.50% AER (variable) on balances up to £5,000. If you save the maximum amount of £150 a month into the savings account, you’ll have £54.54 in interest after a year.
With the Reward account, you can get £5 a month extra – £4 for having 2 monthly direct debits worth over £2 and a further £1 for logging in to the mobile banking app once during the month. By doing so, you can earn an additional £36 per year after accounting for the Reward account’s £2 monthly fee.
That’s £265.54 in your first year, including switching bonus, maximum savings interest and monthly rewards.
To make comparing even easier we came up with the Finder Score. Fees, features and customer service across 20+ of the most popular banks are all weighted and scaled to produce a score out of 10. The higher the score the better the account – simple.
The offer is available to new and existing customers who don’t hold a RBS current account as of 24th June 2025. So if you’re a RBS mortgage customer but don’t have a current account with the bank, you could take advantage of this offer.
In order to get the cash, you’ll need to apply for and open a RBS Reward (£2 a month), Premier Reward (£2 a month), Select or Premier Select account
You can’t qualify if:
You’ve had a switch bonus before for moving to a bank within the NatWest Group (NatWest, RBS, Ulster Bank).
You’re not a UK resident.
You’re not aged 18+.
You don’t fulfil all the terms – listed below.
