About
NatWest has around 7.5 million personal customers and some 850,000 business accounts. Their origins date back to 1650 although the creation of the 'modern' bank effectively commenced in 1970 when the National Westminster Bank Limited started trading.
NatWest was a founder of the Joint Credit Card Company which created the Access credit card (now part of MasterCard). It was also part of the group of banks who launched the Switch debit card (now Maestro) in 1988.
NatWest built the well-known NatWest Tower (now Tower 42) in London as its headquarters which opened in 1980. It was the tallest building in the UK until the Canary Wharf Tower was built.
When NatWest was taken over by Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS), the second largest bank in Europe and the UK after HSBC was created. Some 18,000 jobs were lost as some NatWest support functions were merged with those of RBS.

Latest news about NatWest
NatWest Cuts 800 Jobs Nationwide
NatWest is expected to slash up to 800 retail branch jobs. The major commercial bank has stated that it will discard the 550 positions through voluntary redundancies made by application and also supported by a “comprehensive support package”. The bank has made clear it shall not be enforcing any mandatory redundancies. However, Rob MacGregor, a national officer for the trade union Unite has stated redundancies will be up to 800 once part-time workers are also included into the nationwide job cut.
NatWest Reduce Savings Interest Rates
Interest rates awarded to savings account holders are to be further reduced by NatWest later this month. These altered rates are set to come into effect on the on August 18th. This comes after earlier reductions on certain account types back in April. NatWest justified its decision by saying the rates were reduced upon reviewing both its own rates and those of its competitors. This being said, back in March NatWest abstained from cutting rates on savings accounts after the Bank of England not for the first time cut the base rate.
