Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.NatWest is planning to help 10 million people to manage their financial wellbeing per year by the end of 2027.
The bank aims to reach the target through methods such as digital tools, financial health checks, and its “know your credit score” service, which is also available to non-customers.
NatWest Group chief executive Alison Rose said: “We recognise the important role we play in helping people build their financial capability.”
The bank said there will be an incremental approach, starting with 6.5 million people in 2023 and increasing on an annual basis between 2024 and 2027, to reach 10 million in 2027.
NatWest said that to be counted as part of its target for the number of people managing their financial wellbeing in a year, people must use one of NatWest’s digital tools at least once in a 12-month rolling period.
