Bank of Scotland RSS Feeds

Keep up to date with all the latest news from Bank of Scotland

To make sure your always kept up to date, we are introducing a new form of communication - news feeds.

News feeds, also known as Really Simple Syndication (RSS) feeds, are a very simple and convenient way for us to deliver new website content to you, without you having to actually visit our site or use search engines and web directories.

This means you'll be kept up-to-date, because as soon as a new news item is published, your chosen news reader will display the headline message, then all you need to do is click on it to read the full article(s).

Any number of news feeds from different websites can be added to your news reader.

What's a news reader? Rss Feeds

This small icon is usually used to identify RSS news feeds. However, if you click one of these links, you will most likely get a page full of code in your browser. To properly read the news feed, you need an RSS news reader - a piece of software that checks the feeds and lets you read any new items that have been added. Headlines of the news items are displayed, usually with a brief summary included. The headline then links to the full article on our website.

News readers allow you to add the web address of the news feeds you are interested in. Once this is added, the news reader will display the information. From then on, as soon as we add news items to our website, your news reader will automatically update the links viewed on your page.

There are a number of free or low-cost online, desktop, mobile and Outlook-based news readers available. With web-based readers such as NewsGator, you set up a log-in account and can then access your RSS feed subscriptions from any computer, whereas downloadable applications such as NewzCrawler will be launched from your personal computer. Some readers such as Attensa integrate with Microsoft Outlook and the Mozilla Firefox browser has a built-in RSS news reader.

What you should do next

  1. Choose the news reader you want to use (from the list opposite)
  2. Either download and install it on your computer or sign-up for an account (if choosing a web-based news feeder)
  3. Copy the URL of the news feed that you want to use (Bank of Scotland URL - http://www.bankofscotlandintermediary.co.uk/news/rss/)
  4. Paste that URL into the 'Add New Channel' section of the reader

Now you're all set to receive our latest news at the click of a button!
