Alternative ways to bank face-to-face with NatWest, RBS and Ulster Bank
-
See if there's a 'mobile branch' near you. This can be used for banking services, including making deposits and withdrawing cash. You can find out where your nearest mobile branch is, or when it will next be in your area, on the NatWest website, the RBS website or the Ulster Bank website.
-
Check if you can use one of the Group's sister bank branches. NatWest customers can use RBS branches, while RBS customers can use NatWest branches for everyday banking, such as cash deposits, withdrawals and paying in cheques – find your nearest RBS branch or find your nearest NatWest branch.
There are no NatWest or RBS branches for Ulster Bank customers to use in Northern Ireland.
-
Try a nearby Post Office. Customers of all three brands can withdraw cash and make deposits into their bank account via the Post Office.

If you need branch access and don't have alternative services nearby, consider switching
