UK banking giant NatWest announced a partnership with Amazon Web Services to launch a dedicated venture banking department supporting technology-led businesses. The move pairs AWS cloud infrastructure with NatWest's banking license to serve startups and scale-ups. For founders: this signals traditional banks moving from passive startup banking to active, tech-integrated venture services — competing with SVB-style offerings.
