Based on my review and direct experience evaluating brokers for safe and professional trading, I found NatWest Markets to present some unique limitations that anyone serious about trading should consider carefully. Although NatWest Markets is a publicly listed entity with a well-established business background in the United Kingdom, its offering is not aligned with what most forex or multi-asset traders might expect. From what I could establish, NatWest focuses primarily on conventional personal and business banking services, like current accounts, loans, mortgages, insurance, and some basic investing options. However, it does not provide any specific information about access to trading instruments such as forex, stocks, indices, cryptocurrencies, or commodities for individual traders. In my assessment, I could not access any advanced trading platform through NatWest nor find verification of core trading features that are standard with regulated forex or CFD brokers—such as real-time pricing, leveraged trading, demo accounts, or variety in trading instruments. This absence is a significant drawback, especially considering that NatWest is not regulated by the FCA or any other major financial authority for trading services, which introduces further risk. For me, the lack of transparency on tradable instruments and the absence of proper regulatory oversight mean NatWest Markets cannot meet my requirements for safe and comprehensive trading options. If access to a wide range of trading instruments including forex, equities, indices or crypto is your goal, I would advise extreme caution and encourage considering only fully regulated platforms that explicitly list their tradable assets.
