- NatWest has established the core of a bank-wide Data Marketplace through its collaboration with AWS and Accenture.
- Higher-quality information is helping Finance identify balance-sheet efficiency opportunities and release additional liquidity capacity.
- The next phase will extend trusted information and AI-enabled services across more teams and customer relationships.
NatWest Group said on Thursday, November 12, that the first year of its five-year collaboration with Amazon Web Services and Accenture had established the core of a bank-wide Data Marketplace. The update, published by NatWest Group, shifts the focus from building infrastructure toward wider use across the bank.
Platform reaches a core milestone
Group Chief Information Officer Scott Marcar said the Enterprise Data Transformation programme is making information easier to find, trust, share and reuse across systems and business units. The central Data Marketplace is intended to reduce duplication, limit manual searches and give colleagues access to ready-to-use information.
Teams in NatWest's Commercial & Institutional business can now access and analyse information directly for trend analysis and scenario testing. In Finance, higher-quality information has helped identify opportunities to improve balance-sheet efficiency and release additional liquidity capacity for customers and business growth.
AI plans move into execution
NatWest also said some data-engineering work that previously took weeks can now be completed in days. The bank expects cleaner information to support AI applications that identify customers across different banking relationships and reduce repeated onboarding and identity checks.
The next stage will give more teams access to trusted information and use it more actively in customer services. For investors, the execution question is whether the platform can turn the initial infrastructure work into recurring efficiency gains and more personalised banking.
