Strategic Shift: Boosting Corporate & Institutional Banking
The big change that Lloyds is making which they talked about in February 2026 is that they want to make their Corporate and Institutional Banking part a lot bigger. This part of the business is usually smaller. Now Lloyds wants to use it to help the company grow. Lloyds Corporate and Institutional Banking division will lend money to big companies. The ones that make more, than £100 million. Lloyds Corporate and Institutional Banking division will also offer services to other financial institutions.
The plan for Lloyds is to do more in areas like debt capital markets, structured finance and foreign exchange hedging.
Lloyds also wants to grow a bit outside of the United Kingdom for example in the United States.
This will help Lloyds serve British companies that do business in many countries.
Lloyds does not want to compete with the global investment banks.
Lloyds is trying to focus more on working with big companies, which is a change, from what it used to do as a retail bank that served regular people.
The revenue from this division is really doing well. It has gone up by 35 percent since 2022. In 2025 they lent out £62.5 billion. This is a difference from some other parts of the business where things are not going as well. This shows why Nunn wants to make the corporate offerings from this division bigger.

He says that bankers need to learn skills so they can still be useful when machines start doing more of the work. Artificial intelligence has already helped the bank work efficiently in 2025. People think it will help more in 2026. Nunn and the bank are looking at intelligence to see how it can help them in the future.
