Readycash is a basic UK personal current account from Yorkshire Bank. Yorkshire Bank is a trading name of Clydesdale Bank plc which is itself a subsidiary of the National Australia Bank Group. Consequently this account is almost identical to the Clydesdale Readycash account and it is possible to use both Yorkshire Bank and Clydesdale Bank branches.
The debit card issued with this account is now a standard Mastercard type (previously Maestro). It can be used to withdraw cash from an ATM, a Yorkshire (or Clydesdale) Bank branch or UK Post Office and also to pay for goods and services online, by phone, in person (at a shop, for example) and abroad. It is aimed at over 16s who are UK residents and who might not be able to get a full current account because of some adverse credit history or who might simply want a basic account to manage their money day to day without worrying about getting into debt.
