Cancer is listed as a disability under the UK Equality Act 2010, protecting sufferers from discrimination.
NatWest was ordered to pay almost 87,700 pounds, including 35,000 pounds for injury to feelings and aggravated damages for Willis's losses until December 1, 2020.
A NatWest spokesperson said the bank was pleased the case had been resolved and apologised for falling short of expected standards.
"We recognise the extremely difficult personal circumstances in this case and have taken steps to ensure this cannot happen again," the spokesperson said.
