Our Mission

We're on a journey to build the bank of the future, and we need your help. We're continuing our extensive data transformation programme, redefining what a bank is from the inside out. Become part of our diverse team where you'll impact the lives of more than 26 million customers through brands including Lloyds Bank, Halifax, Bank of Scotland, and Scottish Widows.

Why we're doing this?

We're committed to Help Britain Prosper and become the best bank for customers. As part of this, we're redefining our data and digital capabilities, providing customers with personalised, simpler, continuous interactions across online, mobile and branches. Our digital platforms (public website, mobile & tablet app, and internet banking website) are where the majority of customer and colleague interactions with the bank take place. They are becoming increasingly sophisticated with the introduction of public API's, growing numbers of devices to access them from and evolving operating systems.
