Bank offers Shih Tzu a gold card
A dog has been offered a card with a £10,000 limit.
The Royal Bank of Scotland sent an application form to Raymond Slater's pet Shih Tzu, Monty.
Monty, from Stockport, Greater Manchester, was offered the plastic and the chance to earn air miles. It might be a clue that banks are getting out-of-hand when they start sending credit cards to dogs!
An RBS spokeswoman said: "We have apologised for any inconvenience caused to Mr Slater."
"We bought the name from a list broker and have no idea why Monty's details were provided. His name has now been removed from the database and we are sending a dog hamper to Mr Slater by way of apology."
Note: This story was reported years ago and the Royal Bank of Scotland has been in the news for rather different reasons lately. Given the above, it's a little easier to understand how that could be.
