History

Founded in Birmingham in 1765, Lloyds Bank started life as the private bank of Taylors & Lloyds. Since changes in legislation and the conversion to joint-stock status in 1865, Lloyds bank has accomplished many take-overs.

The well known black horse logo of Lloyds was adopted in the 1880’s with the acquisition of the Lombard Street, London bank of Barnetts, Hoares, Hanbury & Lloyd but even before Barnetts, Hoares & Co. inherited the symbol, it was used by a Lombard Street goldsmith back in the late 1600’s.

After venturing successfully into the London banking scene, Lloyds turned their attentions to Europe and the first half of the 20th century saw Lloyds enter continental Europe, South America and India.

Following the joining of Chelthenham & Gloucester Building Society to Lloyds in 1995, they also merged with the TSB Group plc which saw their name change to Lloyds TSB as it is today. Five years later in 2000 Lloyds TSB took over Scottish Widows. Following the acquisition of HBOS plc in 2009, Lloyds TSB became a part of the Lloyds Banking Group which also includes the Halifax and the Bank of Scotland.
