Lloyds Banking Group |

Banking as usual? Not here

We’re the UK’s biggest digital bank, home to icons like Lloyds Bank, Halifax and Scottish Widows. Trusted by 28m+ customers, we’ve been serving Britain for 250 years. But we’re not about standing still.

We’re investing £3bn a year in tech like AI and cloud, building smarter apps, future  financial wellbeing and better experiences for millions. From fintech collabs to culture change, this is banking reprogrammed.

Your future, fast-tracked

Graduate schemes here aren’t about making coffee. They’re about making an impact. 

You’ll work on real projects, gain professional qualifications, and explore career paths in Tech, Data Science, Finance, Risk, Future and beyond.

From day one, you’ll get award-winning learning platforms, mentoring and hands-on experience. Because growing people is what we do.

Backing you all the way

Your first weeks are packed with events, networking and a buddy who’s been there, done that. Along the way, line managers and mentors will back your ambitions, whatever you’re looking to achieve. And our diversity networks – Rainbow, REACH, Breakthrough, enAble, Family Matters and more – make sure everyone feels welcome, supported and heard. Whoever you are, you’ll belong.

Perks that matter

Competitive salary? Tick. £5,000 settling-in payment for grads? Tick. Hybrid working, private medical, generous holidays, discounts, pension and insurance? All included. 

Plus, we’ll cover the cost of industry-recognised qualifications, so you can focus on learning, not the bills.
