NatWest Group is a UK-focused relationship banking group serving retail, commercial, and private banking customers across the United Kingdom. Headquartered in Edinburgh, the group operates in every nation and region of the UK and serves a customer base of over 20 million. Work on digital banking sits alongside its core relationship banking business, which employs thousands of colleagues.

The group's activities span three main areas. Retail banking provides services for personal customers and is described as helping people and families thrive. Commercial banking serves businesses across the UK, and private banking caters to high-net-worth individuals. Together these cover the retail, commercial and private banking verticals within financial services.

Founded in 1968, NatWest Group traces its origins to the merger of National Provincial Bank and Westminster Bank. Hundreds of predecessor banks contribute to its heritage, which the group documents through a heritage hub; it marks over five decades of banking history. Its stated purpose is "championing potential", with an emphasis on understanding people, their worlds and what matters most to them, and on turning possibilities into progress for people, families and businesses.
