About The Royal Bank of Scotland International Limited, Luxembourg Branch

The Royal Bank of Scotland International Limited, Luxembourg Branch is the Luxembourg presence of RBS International, a Jersey-incorporated bank within NatWest Group. The branch operates under host-country oversight of the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF) while the home regulator is the Jersey Financial Services Commission, reflecting its status as a third‑country branch. Its activity in Luxembourg is oriented toward corporate and institutional clients, notably investment funds and their service providers, real estate vehicles, financial sponsors, and multinational corporates, with services that typically include multi-currency operating and deposit accounts (IBAN for EUR, SWIFT connectivity, SEPA participation), cash and liquidity management, escrow and client money structures, short‑term financing and committed facilities subject to credit approval, and treasury services such as FX and interest‑rate risk hedging. The branch runs a relationship-led model rather than a retail storefront, with eligibility screening, anti‑money laundering and sanctions checks, and documentation requirements that are standard for cross‑border institutional banking; onboarding timeframes and minimum balance or activity expectations can apply, and pricing is negotiated according to client profile and service usage. Digital channels are focused on transaction banking for corporates (online portals, file-based connectivity, SWIFT for corporates), with standard payment cut-offs and processing windows governed by currency and scheme. As a branch of a non‑EU bank, depositor protection arrangements may differ from those of Luxembourg credit institutions; prospective clients should confirm which compensation regime, if any, applies to deposits placed with this branch and in which circumstances. Product availability is jurisdiction‑dependent and constrained by local law, tax, and regulatory considerations, and lending and derivatives require separate documentation and approvals. The branch’s proposition suits entities needing cross‑border cash management and funding in Luxembourg backed by a larger offshore banking group, but it is not positioned as a mass‑market retail bank and access is selective.
