Talk:NatWest Group

Global Banking & Markets

This section needs to be renamed and updated. GB&M has been restructured and downsized, and is now called Markets & International Banking. In essence, RBS is withdrawing from fullscale Investment Banking and Cash Equities, and is focusing henceforth on Fixed Income, FX, Money Markets and corporate Transaction Services. RBS has sold the Hoare Govett brokerage business to Jefferies. Mat Teja (talk) 19:10, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

Political Donations - around the world

The Australian Electoral Commission discloses Royal Bank of Scotland RBS Group (Australia) Pty Ltd as donating $90,140.00 to various Australian Federal and State Labor and Liberal parties during the FY2010-2011.

Might be worth mentioning the Group's donations in the various areas in which it operates, especially given the large share of the parent company that's owned by the UK taxpayer? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.168.210.187 (talk) 13:08, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

Address and Telephone number

Two items of negative feedback came through on this article. "i wanted telephone contacts of the Bank" and "physical address". I tried to add this through the infobox but nothing came of this. I'm rather wary of adding these in the body of the article as it could start reading like an advert, any ideas? — Preceding unsigned comment added by JASpencer (talk • contribs) 07:17, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

I don't think that either of these should be added having regard to WP:NOTADIRECTORY. Just my opinion. Dormskirk (talk) 18:09, 9 January 2023 (UTC)

Canadian oil sands

The Cree aboriginal group describe RBS as being complicit in "the biggest environmental crime on the planet

I thought I'd toss in some useful information I found reviewing another article, about BP. Somebody asked me for my opinion because I used to work in the Canadian and International oil industry and know a lot about oil companies. I used the standard "follow the money" technique to find out who funded these Canadian Indians who don't actually live near the oil sands to go to London and bad-mouth RBS and BP. It struck me as odd to pick on them because RBS doesn't have much to do with the oil sands and BP has sold off its oil properties in Canada more than once. They keep coming back like a bad rash every time they take over another company.

Guess who paid the fare? The Rockefeller Foundation! They funded the Stop The Tar Sands Movement and paid Indians from northern Canada to go to London to slander BP and RBS. Who would have thunk? Follow the money and you find the truth. In case you don't know American corporate history, the Rockefellers founded both ExxonMobil and Chase Manhattan Bank, which are direct competitors of BP and RBS. Less well known, the "Cree aboriginal group" is the Chipewyan tribe which are mostly Dene Indians (different from Cree), and Fort Chipewyan is about 200 miles from the oil sands. Clearly UK newspapers don't know much about Canadian geography and less about Canadian native ethnography. Not knowing about the abandoned and leaking uranium mines nearby in the Indian's "traditional territory" is more understandable given the nuclear secrecy of WWII and later.

The Canadian government has sent tax auditors to go over the books of the various groups downstream from Chase Manhattan in the money flow. It is possible some Canadian Indians may have failed to report some income from the Rockefellers. I don't know. If I knew, I would tell you. I have a problem shutting up about things I probably shouldn't talk about.RockyMtnGuy (talk) 23:40, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

Title Change

The title of this page should probably be changed to: Natwest Group previously known as the Royal Bank of Scotland Group now that the bank has changed it's name. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DolphinSassoon (talk • contribs) 21:22, 13 July 2020 (UTC)

According to the website it is still Royal Bank of Scotland. Dormskirk (talk) 21:54, 13 July 2020 (UTC)

No longer, as per companies House registration. The title move should take place imminently to reflect current changes. SerAntoniDeMiloni (talk) 15:12, 22 July 2020 (UTC)

Now moved. Best wishes. Dormskirk (talk) 15:20, 22 July 2020 (UTC)

Shouldn't the new title be "NatWest Group"? Blurryman (talk) 18:08, 22 July 2020 (UTC)

Yes, it should but a redirect with that title needs deleting first. Best wishes. Dormskirk (talk) 18:20, 22 July 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply, but I haven't done that before. Can you fix it, please? Best wishes. Blurryman (talk) 18:29, 22 July 2020 (UTC)

I have tried to move it to NatWest Group but because the page has been moved around before an admin needs to delete it. I have listed it for speedy deletion. Dormskirk (talk) 18:36, 22 July 2020 (UTC)

All sorted - thanks to User:Atlantic306. Best wishes. Dormskirk (talk) 19:09, 22 July 2020 (UTC)
