Hey Google, lend me a tenner? NatWest trials voice banking

Get ready to say: "Hey Google. How much do I have in my bank account?" NatWest is to begin voice-only banking that will give customers direct access to their accounts by talking to the Google Home smart speakers now in millions of British homes. The trial – the first by a UK high street bank – will let customers ask Google "What's my balance?", "What's my latest transactions?" Google devices will answer verbally, and also flash the answers up on the customer's smartphone.
