and has been part of NatWest Boxed’ s journey since the beginning. The relationship began with Mettle, NatWest’ s digital banking platform for small businesses, before extending to the bank’ s core platform and NatWest Boxed’ s migration.
That familiarity has helped the consultancy provide experienced engineering resources while NatWest Boxed develops its internal teams.
“ When you want to move at pace with such a large-scale programme, you want a trusted partner who already understands your organisation’ s culture,” Asif says.
For NatWest Boxed, the wider ambition is to help major brands offer financial products through experiences that feel natural to their customers. The platform’ s ownership model is intended to give those brands speed, flexibility and control, while preserving the resilience and regulatory protection associated with a major bank.
Asif concludes:“ Our major priority is embedding agentic AI in our product development life cycle and seeing how we can multiply our time to delivery.”
