Dame Alison Rose admitted a 'serious error' in talking about Nigel Farage's relationship with its private banking arm Coutts.
Chancellor Jeremy Hunt has "significant concerns" about the conduct of NatWest boss Dame Alison Rose, BBC News has been told.
She said she had been wrong to respond to questions from the BBC about Mr Farage's account being closed.Those calling for her resignation include former cabinet minister David Davis. In her first admission that she had been involved, Dame Alison said in conversations with BBC business editor Simon Jack "she had confirmed that Mr Farage was a Coutts customer and he had been offered a NatWest bank account".The NatWest boss said she did not reveal any personal financial information about Mr Farage.
"In doing so, I recognise that I left Mr Jack with the impression that the decision to close Mr Farage's accounts was solely a commercial one," she said.
