I have Mint "royal bank of scotland" as a creditor. i called natwest today to open a step account, they are as i now know Bank of Scotland. I made my apoliges said i couldnt have the account as i have an IVA and mint are a creditor.
I was told no its ok they are a different "BANK". experts is this the correct info and would i be safe to open this account???

Hi steve
Natwest is part of Royal Bank of Scotland (RBOS).
Bank of Scotland is separate and merged with Halifax (HBOS)
Hope this helps

hi steve go 4 broke is right natwest is now part of RBS, you will have to try another bank i am afraid, someone who isn;t one of your creditors.

No - NatWest are owned by the ROYAL Bank of Scotland. This is a different entity to the Bank of Scotland.

Hello
Natwest and Royal Bank of Scotland are the same so you should steer clear of these as you have the Mint card and try another bank - Bank of Scotland are different and part of HBOS as stated above.
Hope this helps
