Historical Background
Coutts was founded in 1692 as a goldsmith-bank under a sign of the Three Crowns on the Strand, London. The bank's name evolved through Campbell & Coutts (1755) and Thomas Coutts & Co. (1775) to Coutts & Co. (1822). As part of NatWest Group's wealth management division, Coutts retains the three crowns motif as its trademark identity — a visual link to its 17th-century goldsmithing origins.
