The latest round of cuts will be bring the total job loses at the bank to 41,000 since 2008.
The news follows the recent announcement that RBS boss, Stephen Hester, will resign his position at the bank. Hester, who has been in charge for five years, is reported to have said he would have liked to stay in his position until RBS was fully re-privatised.
However, it has been suggested that Mr Hester's departure from RBS is due to a disagreement with Chancellor George Osborne.
