12:17 GMT 22.02.2023 (Updated: 15:25 GMT 28.05.2023) Lloyds was one of several British banks which were bailed out by the government of Gordon Brown during the 2008 'Credit Crunch' — caused by their practice of lending more money than they had to sub-prime mortgage applicants.
Bankers at Lloyds will share their largest bonus pot in four years — after closing dozens of high street branches. The commercial banking chain has granted £446 million in pay-outs for 2022, up from £399 million for 2021. That is the biggest
bonus pot since 2018,
The news came just a month after
Lloyds and Halifax, another brand within the group, announced they were closing 40 local branches due to a fall in 'demand' for over-the-counter services.
The increase also contrasted with a slight fall in profits at Lloyds Banking Group.
“Although the macroeconomic outlook remains uncertain, our people, business model and financial strength ensure that we can continue to support our customers,” Lloyds said in a statement.
