Based on my own experience analyzing brokers and assessing potential trading partners, I have approached NatWest Markets with extra care due to the unique risk profile it presents. Although the brand is associated with NatWest Group—a large, established UK financial institution—when it comes to trading, specifically forex or CFD accounts, I notice some crucial red flags. According to all the available data, NatWest Markets is not regulated by the UK’s FCA or other major global regulatory bodies, which raises genuine concerns about client protections, dispute resolution, and overall transparency. As a trader, one of the first questions I always ask is about minimum deposit requirements. For NatWest Markets, I could not find any reliable or official information specifying a minimum deposit amount for opening a live trading account. In fact, their current offerings seem heavily focused on banking, lending, and insurance, rather than traditional online trading products such as forex, CFDs, or proprietary trading platforms. There is also no mention of demo or sample accounts, and no clear breakdown of trading account tiers or deposit thresholds. Given these uncertainties and the explicit lack of regulatory oversight, I cannot responsibly recommend attempting to open or fund a live trading account with NatWest Markets. For me, the risk level outweighs any potential benefit, especially when many reputable, transparent, and strictly regulated brokers clearly state their minimum deposit requirements and client protections up front. In this case, exercising caution—by steering clear—has been my safest and most prudent approach.
