NatWest

NatWest, formerly known as The Royal Bank of Scotland Group plc, is one of the largest retail and commercial banks in the United Kingdom. It operates under the NatWest brand name, alongside Ulster Bank in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. The bank was established in 1968 as National Westminster Bank through the merger of the National Provincial Bank and Westminster Bank. In 2000, it merged with The Bank of Scotland to form The Royal Bank of Scotland Group plc. Following the 2008 financial crisis, the UK government took a significant stake in the company, and it was subsequently re-branded back to NatWest Group in 2020.

The bank offers a wide range of financial services to personal, small business, and corporate customers. These services include current and savings accounts, mortgages, loans, credit cards, and investment products. NatWest has an extensive branch network across the UK and also provides digital banking services through its mobile app and online platform. It plays a significant role in the UK economy, supporting individuals and businesses with their financial needs. The bank's history is marked by significant mergers and acquisitions, reflecting the consolidation within the UK banking sector. NatWest is committed to supporting customers through various economic cycles and continues to adapt its services to meet evolving customer demands.
