Group profile

RBS was named Global Bank of the Year 2007 by The Banker magazine

Great Britain

The Royal Bank of Scotland has operated in Great Britain since 1727. The Group enjoys leading positions in a number of markets, including corporate and SME banking, current accounts, merchant acquiring and car insurance. In corporate banking, RBS is the number one brand in England & Wales and Scotland while RBS and NatWest rank first and second among major high street banks for customers who say they are ‘extremely satisfied’ with their main current account provider.

As well as RBS and NatWest, our brands include Direct Line, Churchill, Coutts and Lombard. Last year saw the tenth anniversary of our Tesco Personal Finance joint venture. In 2007 we expanded our UK businesses and see attractive options for continued organic growth.
