In brief

What The Royal Bank of Scotland is

Full article ↗

The Royal Bank of Scotland plc (Scottish Gaelic: Banca Rìoghail na h-Alba), is a major retail and commercial bank based in Edinburgh, Scotland. It is one of the retail banking subsidiaries of NatWest Group (formerly known as The Royal Bank of Scotland Group), together with NatWest and Ulster Bank. The Royal Bank of Scotland has 62 branches in Scotland. The bank is completely separate from the fellow Edinburgh-based bank, the Bank of Scotland, which pre-dates the Royal Bank by 32 years. The Royal Bank of Scotland was established to provide a bank with strong Hanoverian and Whig ties.

Following ringfencing of the Group's core domestic business, the bank became a direct subsidiary of NatWest Holdings in 2019. NatWest Markets comprises the Group's investment banking arm. To give it legal form, the former RBS entity was renamed NatWest Markets in 2018; at the same time Adam and Company (which held a separate PRA banking licence) was renamed The Royal Bank of Scotland, with Adam and Company continuing as an RBS private banking brand until 2022.

In context

How The Royal Bank of Scotland compares

Counts over companies and vessels actually held in this directory — not over the world fleet, which is larger. Nothing here is estimated.

With 1 vessels attributed to it here, The Royal Bank of Scotland is the 492nd largest of the 965 operators in this directory that hold at least one ship on record, against a median of 2 across that group. That is a count of individually identified hulls, not the company’s published fleet size — the two are different measurements and both are shown above where available.

United Kingdom is the country of registration for 97 commercial operators in this directory, among which The Royal Bank of Scotland ranks 38th by ships on record. Between them those companies hold 260 vessels here. See every operator registered in United Kingdom.

Founded in 1727, The Royal Bank of Scotland is 299 years old. This directory holds 2 operators founded within five years either side of that date, whose median fleet on record is 2 ships. The median founding year across all commercial operators here is 1966, and the oldest on record dates to 1514.
