RBS International has recruited Mark Crathern to lead NatWest Trustee and Depository Services (NatWest TDS) and RBS International Depositary Services, as part of the bank’s Institutional Banking Division.
Mark, who is based in London, has a 30-year career in banking, much of it with HSBC. He most recently served as HSBC's Managing Director, Global Head, Corporate Trust & Loan Agency, and was a member of the Executive Committee at HSBC Securities Services.
During his career with the bank, he helped to build its issuer services business across 13 markets around the world. Prior to that, Mark held a number of senior posts within HSBC Securities Services division.
Earlier this year, RBS International conducted a review of how its business was organised in each jurisdiction. As a result, the Institutional Banking Division was created, which includes Funds Banking, Financial & Corporate Service providers, Real Estate Finance, NatWest Trust and Depository Services and Luxembourg Depository Services.
