And how would Sir like to pay? A Lifeboats MasterCard will do nicely.

Because if you switch from your current credit card to a Lifeboats MasterCard today, you could help the RNLI buy the essential items above.

Here's how it works. When you sign up for a card The Royal Bank of Scotland will donate £10 to the RNLI.

But it doesn't stop there. The more you use the card, the better equipped the crews will become.

In fact. 80% of the almost £1 million raised by the MasterCard has come from the Bank's further donations of 25p for every £100 you spend.

And now with a competitive rate of only 18.9% APR for purchases, you can afford to push the boat out this Xmas and help the RNLI when you go shopping.

18.9% APR for purchases The Royal Bank of Scotland donates £10 for every card issued Raises money every time you spend Up to 56 days interest free credit No annual fee Up to £100 cash back on transferred balances from other credit and store cards Now includes FREE Travel Accident Insurance What better way to support the brave volunteers on the legendary lifeboats.

Applying for a card couldn't be easier - you don't have to be a Royal Bank customer or even a member of the RNLI to apply for a card.
