Lloyds boosts Scots business banking service

BANKING group Lloyds TSB Scotland has unveiled a number of new measures aimed at beefing up its business banking offering to Scotland's small businesses.

Lloyds said it is more than doubling the number of locally-based business banking managers at branches across Scotland. Also, it is putting more business banking managers into high street branches and establishing business development teams in five Scottish centres - including Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen, Paisley and Stirling - to support the growth in this sector.

And later this month, the bank's Scottish headquarters in Edinburgh will also see a banking lounge opened, allowing corporate clients a central location to conduct business either with the bank or with their own clients.

Lloyd is aiming to enable every SME customer to see a business banker locally, face-to-face and free of charge. Andrew Stark, head of business banking, Lloyds TSB Scotland, said: "We've listened to our customers and built a new service to deliver the one-to-one contact they value."
