Changes to mobile banking terms

Pay Your Contacts changes

We’re making some changes to the way you can pay your contacts through the Mobile App.

As a reminder, the ‘Pay Your Contacts’ feature allows you to send payments using the payee’s mobile phone number instead of their account details. You can currently make a payment to a mobile customer who is either registered:

  1. to use the RBS, NatWest, Ulster Bank, NatWest International or Isle of Man Bank Mobile Banking Apps (the Group Apps); or
  2. on the UK Paym database.

From 3 June 2019, you’ll no longer be able to send this type of payment to a customer registered to use our Group Apps. This means you’ll only be able to send this type of payment to someone who is registered for the industry-wide Paym service. It’s easy to register for Paym by clicking Profile >  Register for Paym. 

You can still send other payments from the App to someone you’ve already set up as a payee on online banking, or to anyone if you have their bank details and the payment is less than the payment limit for paying someone new.

Further changes

We’ve also removed the FAQs feature from our Android Mobile App and will be removing the feature from our iPhone and iPad apps soon. Instead, you can ask us questions through our ’Message us’ feature in the ‘Help’ section of the App.

Summary

We’re updating our Mobile Banking Terms to:

  • reflect the changes we’re making to Pay Your Contacts;
  • remove the references to our FAQs, which no longer exist in the Android app and will soon be removed from the iPhone and iPad apps

Please read the updated Mobile Banking Terms carefully. They’ll take effect on 3 June 2019 and will stay in the ‘Help’ section of the App from that date.
