Approximately a dozen lenders have inked privacy agreements with the still largely state-owned RBS, a person close to the matter told Bloomberg News on condition of anonymity.
The first round of offers, in a transaction which could be worth between $600-$900m (£575m), is due on about 12 December.
Shares in RBS ended the day off by 0.87% at 400p.
