Royal Bank of Scotland app goes live for Windows Phone

A sure sign that a mobile app store is being taken seriously is when banks climb on board.

And that's what's happening to the Windows Phone Store.

After NatWest, now comes the Royal Bank of Scotland, part of the same UK group.

The app lets you transfer cash between accounts and make payments:

• View your transaction history for most of your accounts, search for historical transactions on your current accounts and savings accounts
• Get Cash from RBS, NatWest or Tesco cash machines without a debit card
• Send money to RBS Mobile Banking customers that use this app – all you need is their mobile number
• Pay bills or people – by setting up and making your first payment in Online Banking
• Transfer funds between your accounts
• Check your balance and recent transactions
• Find your nearest cash machine or local branch
• Top up your pay as you go mobile phone and up to four others (service not available on the 3 network).

The RBS app is a free download from the Windows Phone Store and works on WP8 and WP7.5/7.8
