NatWest poaches UBS executive to run Coutts

NatWest has appointed a senior UBS executive to run its private bank Coutts which forced out its CEO over the Nigel Farage ‘debanking’ scandal.

Sky News has reported that NatWest has sounded out Emma Crystal, who has also worked for Credit Suisse, to become the next chief executive of its wealth management division, which includes Coutts.

Crystal, who is expected to join later this year, will replace Peter Flavel, who left NatWest last summer.
