Case Study: NatWest achieves secure, resilient fintech innovation with NCC Group's Software Resilience

NatWest and NCC Group working together to support digital innovation in fintech

NatWest Ventures, the incubator within NatWest that builds and scales new fintech solutions, needed to move quickly while managing the risks of software supply chains, protecting IP and meeting financial-services compliance. To support that balance of rapid innovation and duty of care, NatWest engaged NCC Group for Software Resilience services, including Software Escrow and continuity solutions.

NCC Group implemented a programme of Software Escrow agreements, risk categorisation, regular code deposits at key development stages and software verification exercises, applied across all business‑critical applications and Ventures such as Tyl by NatWest, Esme Loans and Mettle. The NCC Group solution ensures long‑term availability of source code, protects suppliers’ IP, and delivers regulatory compliance—allowing NatWest to innovate confidently; the partnership has supported the Group for over 20 years and now covers all identified critical applications.
