History and when Lloyds Banking Group PLC was founded
Lloyds Banking Group PLC traces its origins back to 1765, when John Taylor and Sampson Lloyd founded the bank in Birmingham, England. The institution was created to serve local merchants and business owners at a time when the country’s financial system was still developing.
Throughout the 19th century, the bank expanded its branch network and diversified its financial products, establishing itself as a major national player. During the 20th century, growth accelerated through mergers and acquisitions, broadening its footprint and strengthening its market position.
In 2009, Lloyds Banking Group was formally established following the merger of Lloyds TSB and HBOS, forming one of the largest financial groups in Europe—an important step during the post-2008 financial recovery.
In 2017, the company completed its return to full private ownership, ending the government intervention that began during the global financial crisis. Subsequent years were marked by rapid digital transformation, technological modernization, and increased focus on sustainability.
Between 2020 and 2024, Lloyds Banking Group intensified investments in digital innovation, expanded its online platforms, and adjusted its shareholder structure, reinforcing its position in the competitive European financial sector.
