It has a strong presence in Scotland and provides a wide range of financial services to individuals, businesses, and institutions.
As a commercial bank, RBS offers various products and services, including personal banking, mortgages, loans, investment banking, corporate banking, and wealth management.

As a result, the bank went through a substantial transformation to recover and refocus on its core operations.
Today, RBS continues to operate as a major player in the UK banking sector, employing thousands of people and serving millions of customers. It strives to provide reliable financial solutions, maintain strong relationships with its clients, and contribute to the overall stability and growth of the economy.
