NatWest and Cricket – What You Need to Know

If you love cricket and keep an eye on your bank account, NatWest is a name you’ll hear a lot. The British bank was the official sponsor of the 2019 Cricket World Cup, and that partnership still shapes the way fans experience the game today. From special ticket bundles to cash‑back on cricket‑related purchases, NatWest turns everyday banking into a fan perk.

NatWest’s Role in the Cricket World Cup 2019

The 2019 tournament was a massive success, and NatWest’s branding was everywhere – on the field, on TV ads and on social media. The bank didn’t just slap a logo on the stadium; it funded community cricket programs, helped set up youth academies, and backed live‑streaming platforms so fans could watch from any device. Those initiatives gave the sport a boost at the grassroots level and kept the excitement alive long after the final over.

One of the most talked‑about moves was the NatWest "Ticket Boost" offer. Customers who held a NatWest current account could book tickets before the public release, often at a reduced price. The bank also ran a competition where lucky winners received all‑expenses‑paid trips to the final at Lord’s. That kind of exclusive access turned ordinary banking customers into die‑hard cricket supporters.

Banking Benefits for Cricket Fans

Beyond the World Cup, NatWest still rolls out cricket‑focused deals. If you open a NatWest Savings Account and link it to your favorite cricket team, you can earn extra interest when the team wins a match. The bank also offers a limited‑time credit‑card cashback on purchases made at sports retailers, stadium food stalls and online streaming services that broadcast live cricket.

For those who travel to matches, NatWest’s travel insurance is tailored for sport events – covering canceled flights, lost tickets and even delayed luggage. The insurance is automatically included with many of its premium accounts, meaning you get peace of mind without hunting for extra policies.

Another practical perk is the NatWest Mobile App’s “Match Alerts”. Set up notifications for your chosen team and get real‑time score updates, ticket availability and exclusive offers pushed directly to your phone. The feature syncs with your banking alerts, so you can see any pending offers or rewards right alongside your transaction history.

In short, NatWest has turned its cricket sponsorship into a suite of everyday benefits. Whether you’re a veteran fan looking for the best seat in the house, a newcomer wanting to save on merch, or simply someone who appreciates a good cashback deal, the bank’s cricket tie‑ins give you more reasons to stay loyal.

So next time you see the NatWest logo on a cricket shirt or hear it mentioned during a match commentary, remember it’s not just advertising – it’s a gateway to tickets, savings and exclusive experiences that can make following the sport cheaper and more enjoyable. Keep an eye on NatWest’s latest offers, and you might just find your next cricket adventure starts with a simple click in your banking app.
