What is a banking group?
A banking group is a company that owns and manages several different banks or financial services under one umbrella. For example, Lloyds Banking Group owns Lloyds Bank, Halifax, and Scottish Widows. This structure allows them to offer a wider range of services and often share resources, but also means an issue can affect multiple brands.
