salavan Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 My daughter tried to renew her British passport but was told cannot pay for it using a Thai debit card. So I will pay using my nationwide debit card. The passport office sent her an email with the payment details, they use the Royal Bank of Scotland and the sort code is 60-70-80 when I cross checked I discovered that sort code is for nat west not the RBS. anyone got any idea what going on I'm concerned that it might be a scam.

I called the number on the letter - that's when the lady answered with 'Nat West'. I said to her that I was expecting to speak to RBS and she said that they were the same.

Wikipedia states: "On 14 February 2020, it was announced that RBS Group was to be renamed NatWest Group, taking the brand under which the majority of its business is delivered." If this is insufficient to convince you then I am not sure what else anyone can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
