NatWest Group (NWG): news on Sunday 8 November 2026
News from the 24 hours to Sunday morning, 8 November 2026.
Tone of the day
What the score means. Each score rates how good or bad the news was for the company, from −10 (clearly bad) to +10 (clearly good). 0 is neutral, and anything beyond ±6 is strong and rare. It rates the coverage, not the share price.
Why it scored this way
Coverage was thin, with a Telegraph piece criticising how NatWest handled a customer's direct debit scam complaint. A modest positive came from a regional hire at its Coutts arm.
What drove it
- customer fraud complaint
- Coutts regional hire
