NatWest is set to pay for transgender staff to get privately-funded hormone treatment in a bid to become more inclusive.
The bank said it was "challenging the status quo" and overhauling its policies to better suit trans customers and staff, the Telegraph reports.
Changes include the addition of trans healthcare services to its private healthcare plan from September, meaning gender identity support and hormone treatment will be made available for workers. It has also reviewed the wording of its employment policies to "ensure language and scenarios are LGBT+ inclusive".
It comes after the bank introduced optional pronoun badges for branch staff earlier in the year, with there also being an option to add phonetic name spellings.
