Our take
Lloyds Bank, part of Lloyds Banking Group, began operations back in 1765 and is nowadays one of the UK’s leading retail and commercial banks. As with many leading banks, the company has dealt with its share of controversy – including for its handling of PPI complaints in 2015, and the 2009 European Commission ruling that forced it to part ways with TSB – but it has nonetheless stood the test of time and worked to build back its public reputation in the wake of these setbacks.
Of the company’s 26 million customers, over 18 million of them are online, making it the largest UK digital bank. As part of its ongoing digital transformation, the company is seeking to put the cloud at the front of its services and systems, and has cited intentions to invest heavily in overhauling its current technology infrastructure. All this seeks to serve the modern banking customer, and to compete with the fast-increasing number of alternative banking options appearing on the market.
Recently, Lloyds Bank has shown great interest in facilitating innovation in the industry, joining as a partner on FinTech Action Labs (a FinTech accelerator programme) to bring its industry expertise to early-stage FinTechs. As well as investment in digital transformation and AI, the company is enhancing its wealth product and corporate banking offerings, as well as expanding its partnerships with digital banking companies.
