We provide all our personal and premier customers with an accessible debit card.

A notch carved out of the side of the card, to help you work out which way round to insert your card into a cash machine or card reader.
A series of raised dots or lines, so you’ll know which card is your Royal Bank of Scotland card.
Telephone numbers on the back of the card are 50% larger to make reading easier.
