Business Status Alerts

Are your customers creditworthy?

Business Status Alerts is the service that lets you keep track of your business contacts. Through regular credit reports, you could reduce your exposure to bad debt that could put your company under strain.



It's important to know how creditworthy your business customers and suppliers are so you can avoid the risk of late payment or bad debt.

NatWest have joined forces with Equifax, one of the UK's leading credit reference agencies, to provide a low-cost credit checking and alert service to protect your business.
