Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) has joined HSBC, first direct and Alliance & Leicester in offering mobile phone banking services.

The service, run in conjunction with mobile banking network MONILINK, allows 13 million RBS and NatWest customers with debit cards to view their account balance and statement information on their mobile handset.

Paul Geddes, RBS Group Consumer Banking chief said: ‘We are giving people another easy way to access account information and even greater flexibility in managing their money at any time’.

The news comes just a few weeks after MONILINK tied up a deal with Vodafone to offer banking services to HSBC, first direct and Alliance & Leicester customers.
