How it all began

NatWest was formed in 1970 through the merger of three major English banks: National Provincial Bank, Westminster Bank and District Bank.

NatWest has an ancestry of over 200 banks in towns and cities all over England and Wales, including England’s first provincial bank and the first substantial joint stock bank in England.
