Did you know over 1 billion people worldwide live with a disability?   Today is International Day of Persons with Disabilities, so it’s a good day to reflect on the work we’ve been doing to create inclusive banking experiences for everyone, all year round.   Here are some of the initiatives we’ve put in place to build trust, strengthen communities and drive sustainable growth: 1. Accessible branches and offices. 2. Signed video for British Sign Language interpretation. 3. Assistive technology across customer and colleague channels. 4. Personalised support options for customers. 5. Free publicly available Disability & Neurodiversity e-learning to help build understanding. 6. Trained Access Advocates across our offices and branches.   This year, we were accredited by Lexxic, the UK’s leading neurodiversity experts, as a Neurodiversity Smart Certified business. It’s a milestone that reflects our commitment to creating environments where every colleague can thrive.   We’re proud to be a Disability Confident Leader and hold the Gold Standard Benchmark from the Business Disability Forum. And we’ll keep pushing forward because inclusion helps us build a better bank for everyone.   #IDPD #Inclusion

Meet Quinton💫 After 28 years at the Group, and now a senior technical infrastructure developer he’s had quite the career! So, we asked him all about it: “When I joined the bank, I had no idea I was starting a near three-decade adventure. Here are some of my biggest highlights: 🏁 Kicked off my career at the bank in 1997, working at Scottish Widows then known as Clerical Medical 🕰️ Ahead of the new millennium, I helped transition our IT systems, a defining moment in tech history (crazy when you look back on how far we've come since then!) 🌍Had the opportunity to work across Europe on assignments with cross-border impact ⚽ Took part in a project in Germany during the 2006 FIFA World Cup! It was a great experience, but we won't talk about England losing on penalties 💡 Became a Senior Technical Infrastructure Analyst, leading complex IT projects with innovation and big-picture thinking being part of my daily rhythm 🔐 Made the move into cyber security in 2018 where I’ve been ever since, helping protect the bank’s digital safety, now more important than ever. From evolving technologies to changing dress codes, my journey at Lloyds has been rewarding, shaped by growth and unforgettable moments."

BIG NEWS: We’ve committed an extra £1bn to boost support for first-time buyers. We’re making an additional £1 billion in lending available through our First-Time Buyer Boost initiative, designed to help customers who need to borrow more than 4.5x their income take that first important step onto the housing ladder. How are we doing this? By reducing the minimum household income required to quality for Boost from £50,000 to £40,000. This means the amount customers with this income could borrow will increase from 4.9x to 5.5x their income. What does that look like in practice? Before, a customer earning £40,000 with a 10% deposit could borrow up to £179,000. Now, that same customer could borrow £220,000 to help them own their first home.  Since launching First-Time Buyer Boost in August 2024, we've already pledged £8bn to help first-time buyers, and helped more than 15,000 get on the ladder quicker as part of our commitment to make home ownership more accessible. 

In 2026, we’ll make over £35bn of new finance available to companies operating and investing in the UK, supporting jobs, growth and prosperity for our communities. Of this, £9.5bn will be dedicated to SMEs.   Businesses power our economy, and we’re fuelling their ambitions to innovate and grow. #HelpingBritainProsper
