Growing Together – our plan to support UK growth

Our Growing Together plan is a long-term, connected programme underpinned by five focus areas, where we deliver impact today and can do even more in the future.

Build for the future

We’re a leading lender to the infrastructure and housing sectors that the UK needs for a stronger, more connected economy.

Support the innovators

We’re committed to playing our part in making the UK a place that fully embraces innovation, by supporting the creation and growth of dynamic new businesses and policies that back entrepreneurship.

Help people and families save and invest

NatWest is a partner to 20 million customers, helping people save and invest for their futures and build financial confidence across all nations and regions of the UK. 

Champion mid-sized businesses

As the number one bank for mid-sized businesses, we’re championing their vital role in the economy and the policies they need to play an even more important role in UK growth.

Back powerful nations and regions

Through our UK-wide network, NatWest Group is a driver of stronger regional economies and the trusted partner for the people building those economies.

Backing Oxford innovation

Through our Accelerator network we’re helping start-ups and entrepreneurs across the UK innovate, grow and scale, with our university partnerships offering targeted support to spinouts and young entrepreneurs.

Supporting people and families to save and invest

Financial confidence is a vital, often underestimated, part of a strong economic infrastructure. Through NatWest Thrive, our free financial education and future skills programme, we’re helping young people build money confidence and take action towards owning their future.
