(Founded 1727, First issuing banknotes on 08.12.1727)

Currency : Pound Sterling (GBP)

 

Posted here is a £20 polymer banknote printed with the date of 27.05.2019. This note bears the signature of Alison Rose. This is the first time that Alison Rose's signature is appearing on a banknote since she was appointed to the Chief Executive Officer of the Natwest Group in November 2019, following the resignation of Ross Maxwell McEwan. 

 

It should be noted that the date on this £20 note has the same date as the one first introduced bearing the signature of Ross McEwan. Ross McEwan announced his registration in April 2019, and the note bearing his signature was first released on 05.03.2020. Following his announcement, he continued to stay on the role until a new successor was appointed. The bank must have decided to print the new £20 with two signatures, knowingly that by the time the note was released, Ross McEwan would have left the bank by then.

In September 2019, the NatWest Group announced that Alison Rose would succeed Ross McEwan, and she took charge on 01.11.2019.
