As a Bank of Scotland current account holder you can change your account to a standard current account and keep the same sort code and account number. Simply call 08457 21 31 41 or  visit your local branch. This service is currently not available online.

Calls from BT landlines to 0845 numbers will cost no more than 4p a minute plus a 6p connection fee. The price of calls through other phone companies and from mobile phones will be different. The call prices quoted above were correct in June 2008.
