Case Study: NatWest Markets achieves secure cloud-native scale with Beyond and Google Anthos

NatWest Markets gains single-pane-of-glass observability with Beyond

The customer, NatWest Markets, a UK bank, faced the challenge of building a secure, multi-regional application platform to support faster team onboarding and greater operational autonomy. This required satisfying strict financial services compliance and security policies, but legacy networking solutions were creating friction and visibility was fragmented. Vendor Beyond was engaged to address this.

Beyond architected and delivered the OneBankFX platform on Google Cloud, built around Google Anthos for unified management and Istio-based traffic control. This solution gave NatWest Markets consistent, compliant environments, significantly quicker onboarding, and improved team autonomy. The bank gained a single, auditable source of truth and retired its legacy networking in favor of a scalable Shared VPC architecture.
