4 Segmental analysis

NatWest Group analyses its performance between the different operating segments of the Group as required by IFRS 8, Operating segments. The presentation is consistent with internal financial reporting and how senior management assesses the performance of each operating segment

Reportable operating segments:

The business is organised into the following reportable segments: Retail Banking, Private Banking, Commercial & Institutional, and Central items & other.

Retail Banking serves personal customers in the UK, including Ulster Bank customers in Northern Ireland.

Private Banking serves UK-connected high-net-worth individuals and their business interests.

Commercial & Institutional consists of customer businesses reported under Business Banking, Commercial Mid-market and Corporate & Institutions, supporting our customers across the full non-personal customer lifecycle, both domestically and internationally. Our Markets offering helps our customers manage financial risks across different geographies, while our International offering provides full-service banking operations in the Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Gibraltar and Luxembourg.

Central items & other includes corporate functions, such as treasury, finance, risk management, compliance, legal, communications and human resources. Central functions manage NatWest Group capital resources and NatWest Group-wide regulatory projects and provide services to the reportable segments. Central items & other includes businesses and amounts not directly related to any of the other reportable segments. Ulster Bank RoI is no longer an operating segment and its continuing operations now form part of Central items & other.

Allocation of central balance sheet items

NatWest Group allocates all central costs relating to central functions to the business using appropriate drivers; these are reported as indirect costs in the segmental income statements. Assets and risk-weighted assets held centrally, mainly relating to NatWest Group Treasury, are allocated to the business using appropriate drivers.
