David Stuff, UK director of listed product sales at RBS said, "In a low and uncertain savings rate environment, combined with high inflation, it can be a challenge to find an investment with real returns.
"The UK Inflation Income Bond offers returns designed to meet the needs of private and institutional investors. There are no restrictions on large investment amounts and there are no early redemption charges beyond the bid/offer spread."
Pietro Poletto, the head of fixed income at the London Stock Exchange, said: "RBS is the most frequent issuer on Orb and we are delighted to welcome their sixth retail-sized bond onto the market. There is a growing demand from private investors for new bonds and inflation linked products have proved popular this year.
"Orb continues to draw new bond issues to the market and is steadily creating a wide choice of products for retail investors. We have a strong pipeline of new issuers and look forward to seeing an ever more diverse range of issues."
Orb was launched in February 2010 in response to strong private investor demand for greater access to fixed income investment. There are now over 150 bonds available for trading on the platform and over �1.25 billion has been raised since launch.
There are corporate, government and "supranational" bonds available, which are tradable in typical denominations of �1,000 or less. All are exempt from stamp duty and those maturing in five years or more are eligible for inclusion in Isas and Sipps (self-invested personal pensions).
