NatWest is passionate about the people, businesses and communities it supports. Here's how they created an engaging, customer-focused Spending feature by partnering with Tink.
NatWest’s Spending feature
Over 8.3m of the bank’s customers have used the Spending feature in the NatWest digital banking app.
The feature analyses spending to nudge users with personalised recommendations and actionable insights.
Out of the millions of insights that have been delivered, 25% have resulted in action from customers.
Wendy Redshaw, Retail Bank’s Chief Digital Information Officer at NatWestWe see situations where the Spending feature makes a real difference in people’s lives. We’re seeing incremental changes, in the amount the app is really being used - and people are taking action, themselves, to budget and set aside money.

After many customers shared they didn’t know where their money went, and wanted a better way to understand their finances, NatWest took notice. To solve this, they wanted to offer easy-to-use tools to empower customers to become financially better off – by helping them not just understand, but also improve their spending habits.

To make it easier for people to manage their money, NatWest partnered with Tink to launch a brand new Spending feature in their Mobile app. This gives users personalised insights into their spending, with all of the heavy lifting (powered by Tink’s technology) done in the background.
Features include:
A newsfeed full of personalised insights helping customers understand their spending habits and take action on them
Automatic categorisation of expenses, so users can see where their money is going
Budgeting tools, letting users easily track their spending in each category
