Lloyds TSB launches microsite ahead of proposed HBOS acquisition

Lloyds TSB has announced the launch of its new microsite for customers - lloydstsb.com/hbosacquisition - giving them up-to-date information on the proposed acquisition of HBOS.

From today, customers can learn more about the background of the proposed acquisition, what next steps will be taken, and review an outline of the Government's recapitalisation plan. Lloyds TSB also talks to its customers on the site about its services and highlights the reasons why customers can feel confident in banking with Lloyds TSB.

The site will be constantly updated with new information as the proposed acquisition progresses.

Nigel Gilbert, Group Marketing Director at Lloyds TSB comments: "Alongside the communications, guidance and support our customers receive in their branch and on the telephone, we see this new section of our site as a vital tool in keeping our customers fully updated with accurate information on the proposed HBOS deal. In a rapidly changing economic environment, our customers need reassurance and we are providing extra resources online, where they are looking for more information. "

"We have been rated as one of the top ten safest banks in the world1 and have been voted the most trusted bank in Britain for the eighth year in a row2. We have always taken a measured approach to business and the acquisition of HBOS has given us a unique opportunity to create Britain's leading financial services company."
