|February 14, 2026
NATWEST Group’s profits soared by nearly a quarter last year, while pay for its boss jumped by a third, after landing new customers due to acquisitions.
CEO Paul Thwaite is 'very well paid'
The banking group, which also comprises Royal Bank of Scotland, Ulster Bank and Coutts, yesterday said it made an operating pretax profit of £7.7billion for 2025.
This was up 24.4% on the year before and higher than the £7.5bn that some analysts had been expecting.
Income from its retail bank jumped by 15% year on year, with customer deposits growing as savings and current accounts increased, and it acquired a new set of balances after buying Sainsbury’s Bank.
