Thank you for continuing to choose NatWest. To help us decide whether we can provide you with the services you have asked for, please answer all the questions on this application.
Your Information
Please read carefully the section headed 'Your Information' in the Terms and Conditions which will be sent out with your Mortgage Offer if your application proceeds. This explains how we will use your information both now and after your account is opened. You will see this symbol 
by that section.
We are National Westminster Home Loans Limited and we are part of The Royal Bank of Scotland Group plc. We are also known as the data controller.
As our business and our relationship with you develop, the way in which we look at, record and use your information may change. In most cases these changes will result from enhancements in technology and, we believe, will be in line with your expectations. Where we believe the changes may not be obvious to you, we will give you notice of them.
Credit Reference and Fraud Prevention Agencies
We will make searches about you at credit reference agencies, who will supply us with credit information, for use in the assessment of credit products and other information, as well as information from the Electoral Register, for the purpose of verifying your identity. The agencies will record details of the search type - credit or identification - whether or not this application proceeds. We may use credit-scoring methods to assess this application and to verify your identity. Credit searches and other information which is provided to us/and or the credit reference agencies, about you, and those with whom you are linked financially, may be used by us and other companies if credit decisions are made about you, or other members of your household. Any of this information may also be used for identification purposes, debt tracing and the prevention of money laundering, as well as the management of your credit account.
To prevent or detect fraud, or to assist in verifying your identity, we may make searches of Group records and at fraud prevention agencies who will supply us with information. We may also pass information to financial and other organisations involved in fraud prevention to protect ourselves and our customers from theft and fraud. If you give us false or inaccurate information and we suspect fraud, we will record this. We, members of the Group, and other companies may use this information if decisions are made about you, or others at your address(es), on credit or credit-related services, or motor, household, credit, life or any other insurance facilities. It may also be used for tracing, claims assessment and verifying identity.
By stating a financial association with another party, you are also declaring that you are entitled to:
- disclose information about your joint applicant and/or anyone else referred to by you
- authorise us to search, link and/or record information at credit reference agencies about you and/or anyone else referred to by you.
Information held about you by the credit reference agencies may already be linked to records relating to one or more of your partners. For the purposes of this application, you may be treated as financially linked and your application will be assessed with reference to any 'associated' records.
If you decide to proceed with this application, you will be required to sign declarations confirming you accept the use of data as indicated. If you have any questions over the use of your data, please refer to the declaration at the end of this application.
We will also use your answers to help us administer the services we supply to you and any future agreements we may have with you. Our information booklets detail other NatWest services you may find of interest.
