“Malwarebytes has been a champion of security since our inception and we’re thrilled to be able to partner with innovative, socially responsible organizations like NatWest Group who are going above and beyond to ensure the safety of their customers.”

So far, the new offering has recorded more than 100,000 customer downloads.

NatWest aims to boost the awareness of this programme among its entire customer base.

Malwarebytes Premium is available for customers of NatWest, Royal Bank of Scotland, Isle of Man Bank, NatWest International, and Ulster Bank.

NatWest Head of Fraud Prevention Alasdair MacFarlane said: “Keeping our customers safe and secure is of paramount importance to us. We are the only UK bank to offer premium virus protection to our customers for free and are working with Malwarebytes to deliver this.”

Meanwhile, last month, a report said that NatWest will axe at least 500 jobs across its retail banking business to cut costs in the wake of Covid-19-related loan losses.
