National Westminster Bank PLC : ウィキペディア英語版
NatWest

National Westminster Bank Plc, commonly known as NatWest, is the largest retail and commercial bank in the United Kingdom. Since 2000 it has been part of The Royal Bank of Scotland Group, ranked among the top 10 largest banks in the world by assets. NatWest was established in 1968 by the merger of National Provincial Bank (established 1833 as National Provincial Bank of England) and Westminster Bank (established 1834 as London County and Westminster Bank).
Traditionally considered one of the Big Four clearing banks, it has a large network of 1,400 branches and 3,400 cash machines across Great Britain and offers 24-hour ''Actionline'' telephone and online banking services. Today it has more than 7.5 million personal customers and 850,000 small business accounts. In Ireland it operates through its Ulster Bank subsidiary.
==History==

The bank's origins date back to 1658 with the foundation of Smith's Bank of Nottingham.〔(Samuel Smith & Co. ) The Royal Bank of Scotland Group, Archive Guide. Retrieved 5 April 2009〕 The creation of the modern bank was announced in 1968, and National Westminster Bank Limited commenced trading on 1 January 1970, after the statutory process of integration had been completed in 1969.〔National Westminster Bank Act 1969 and National Westminster Bank Act 1969 (Appointed Day) Order 1969; registered in England and Wales under the Companies Act 1985, No. 929027〕 The famous three arrowheads symbol was adopted as the new bank's logo; it is said to symbolise either the circulation of money in the financial system or the bank's three constituents, National Provincial Bank, Westminster Bank, and District Bank (established 1829): the latter had been taken over by National Provincial Bank in 1962 and was allowed to operate under its own name until the formation of National Westminster Bank. The District, National Provincial, and Westminster Banks were fully integrated in the new firm's structure, but Coutts & Co. private bankers (a 1920 National Provincial acquisition, established 1692), Ulster Bank in Northern Ireland (a 1917 Westminster acquisition, established 1836) and the Isle of Man Bank (a 1961 National Provincial acquisition, established 1865) continued as separate operations. Westminster Foreign Bank (established 1913) was restyled International Westminster Bank in 1973. Duncan Stirling, outgoing chairman of Westminster Bank, became first chairman of the fifth largest bank in the world.〔Mosley, Charles (ed.) ''Burke's Peerage, Baronetage and Knightage'' (107th ed.) vol.1 (p.1233) Burke's Peerage and Gentry, Wilmington, 2003〕 In 1969 David Robarts, former chairman of National Provincial, assumed Stirling's position.〔Hast, Adele (ed.) (Company History: National Westminster Bank ) ''International Directory of Company Histories'' (vol.2) St. James Press, Chicago, 1988〕 In 1975 it was one of the first London banks to open a representative office in Scotland. It was a founder member of the Joint Credit Card Company (with Lloyds Bank, Midland Bank and Williams & Glyn's Bank) which launched the Access credit card (now part of MasterCard) in 1972 and in 1976 it introduced the ''Servicetill'' cash machine. The same banks, excluding Lloyds, were later responsible for the introduction of the Switch debit card (later branded Maestro) in 1988.〔(History of Plastic Cards ) The Association for Payment Clearing Services, 9 January 2006〕
