NatWest Automates Trade & Supply Chain Finance with Cleareye.ai

(28 May 2026 – United Kingdom) NatWest has partnered with Cleareye.ai to automate its international trade and supply chain finance operations and compliance checking procedures for financial crime risk management.

The UK headquartered bank is integrating Cleareye.ai’s ClearTrade platform to process physical and digital documentation against standard International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) rules automatically. The AI-powered system will also handle trade-based money laundering (TBML) and fraud checks to replace traditional, manual verification workloads across its commercial banking unit.

Fellow ClearTrade proponents include JPMorgan, BofA, Mizuho, Riyad Bank, Gulf International Bank and Lloyds which partnered with Cleareye.ai in 2024.

“The technology rollout will help NatWest clients trade in foreign markets with greater speed and certainty while enabling a more personalised and productive service to be delivered internally” commented NatWest Commercial and Institutional Banking Trade Product Lead, Michael Gilham,
