The chairman of NatWest has vowed not to forget “the lessons of pre-2008” on senior staff bonuses when the bank returns to full private ownership, 16 years after being bailed out by the Government.
Rick Haythornthwaite, speaking at the bank’s annual general meeting (AGM) in Edinburgh on Wednesday, said the bank had now “fixed the issues of the past” and had become a “simpler, safer, customer-focused bank”.
