Overview
Market coverage
Solutions
Resources

The first thing you'll notice about our teams is the depth of expertise on offer. This is built on two foundations - continual training and development, coupled with a constant dialogue with the sector.

This sector knowledge forms the base for a lasting relationship with your business. We understand the issues you face, from legislative changes through to professional indemnity. And we know how to help you to get the most from your finances.

A firm grasp of the basics

We realise that speed and precision are vital to your business, so that is exactly what we aim to deliver. It is why we look to resolve issues quickly, and process your requests as soon as possible - something that could be difficult to achieve with the 'call centre' approach of some banks

Clients' Monies Service

Do you need to manage client funds in a separate account? We can usually get a designated client account up and running on the same day, helping you to meet your regulatory commitments. Alternatively we have vitual banking solutions.

From small practices through to global firms, we work with a large range of professional services clients.

Our main focus is on firms where the main asset is their people. A list of just some of the clients we work with includes:

Architects
Accountancy
Legal practices
Management consultants
QCs and Inns of Court
Quantity Surveyors and other Real estate service firms

A named Relationship Manager is at the heart of The Royal Bank of Scotland service.
