Still by your side

Remaining committed to our intermediary partners

Keith Softly Head of Commercial Banking Intermediaries Lloyds Bank

As we look ahead further into 2022, I wanted to write and thank you for the support and commitment you have shown Lloyds Bank in our capacity as NACFB headline sponsor.

There is no doubt that the past three years have presented a variety of new and unpredictable challenges and during this time the help and support you have given to clients has been fantastic. This era has defined how important the broker market is within both UK financial services and the broader economy, which is only reinforced by the year-on-year lending growth shown in the 2021 NACFB broker survey.

I am delighted that the headline sponsorship will be passed from Lloyds Bank to Allica Bank who have shown a visible determination in supporting the NACFB and its Members. We will continue to support the NACFB, and we remain 100% committed to the future success of the market, which I hope will continue to go from strength to strength. Earlier this month, we introduced changes to how we support our brokers and deliver a more added value service.

At the start of 2021, we brought together all intermediary teams across term lending, asset finance, invoice discounting, and card acquiring to make us more joined up and accessible. We are continuing to evolve this strategy and are moving away from a traditional regional coverage model and will be aligning our resources to the specialist sectors and products you support.

Such changes will help us to prioritise the service, relationship, and value components of our proposition, which we know are extremely important to you all. We will still support all opportunities nationally but will leverage our specialist teams to ensure we are offering the most relevant solutions to you and your clients. These changes will make us easier to do business with and help us to add more value.

If you have any questions, or opportunities you would like to discuss please get in touch. Lloyds Bank is proud to work with the NACFB and we are truly excited to see what the rest of this year brings! We wish you all a successful 2022 and are looking forward to working with you.
