History of logo:

In 1968, National Provincial Bank, Westminster Bank and District Bank came together to form National Westminster Bank. The chevron logo can be interpreted in different ways - as the three banks or the movement of money. It was unique in breaking with the traditional use of heraldic symbols in banking.
