About Royal Bank of Scotland Group

The Royal Bank of Scotland Plc; Gaelic. Banca Rìoghail na h-Alba'. - One of the largest commercial banks in Scotland. It was founded in 1727. It is one of the three Scottish banks authorised to issue banknotes.

On 30 April 2018, in accordance with legislation passed to clearly delineate the balance sheet boundaries between financial and retail banking operations in the UK, the international financial part of the bank changed legal entity and name, becoming NatWest Markets, while the new ownership of its retail banking operations (including banknote issues) in Scotland became its former Adam and Company branch and, within England, its former Drummonds Bank branch (both banks, however, retained, to use the main brand name RBS plc).
