An investigation is under way into how a computer containing bank customers' personal data was sold on an internet auction site.
The PC, which was reportedly sold for £35 on eBay, had sensitive information on the hard drive.
The Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) and its subsidiary, Natwest, have confirmed their customers' details were involved.
RBS says an archiving firm told it the PC had apparently been "inappropriately sold on via a third party".
It said historical information relating to credit card applications for their bank and others had been on the machine.
