NatWest introduces new 'digital branch'
In the new NatWest digital store, customers can drop in and have a coffee while carrying out transactions, either on their own or branch devices. 
They will also be able to book a session with a personal banker for more complex needs, such as advice on getting on the housing ladder, new products, or to better understand their finances through a financial health check. This means busy customers will no longer need to waste time in queues, instead booking to speak to advisors when it suits them best.
