TSB

TSB is currently part of the Spanish Sabadell Group, the fifth largest Spanish banking group.

TSB merged with Lloyds Bank in 1995 to become Lloyds TSB. However, a European Commission ruling in 2009 required the Group to divest itself, creating the TSB brand once more.

TSB offers a variety of products and services, including bank accounts, credit cards, mortgages and savings accounts, as well as general insurance products such as travel and home insurance.

Its insurance products are underwritten by Aviva and its headquarters are based in Edinburgh, Scotland.
