  • Rating Action, Barclays Bank UK
    Rating Action: Moody's takes rating actions on Barclays, Lloyds, Santander UK, Nationwide and Close Brothers, following update to banks methodology 13 Jul 2021 London, 13 July 2021 -- Moody's Investors Service (Moody's) has today taken rating actions on Barclays, Lloyds, Santander UK and Close Brothers banking groups and on Nationwide Building Society, including the upgrade of the long-term senior ratings of Lloyds Banking Group plc and Close Brothers Group plc. The rating actions were driven by revisions to Moody's Advanced Loss Given Failure (Advanced LGF) framework, which is applied to banks operating in jurisdictions with Operational Resolution Regimes, following the publication of Moody's updated Banks Methodology on 9 July 2021. This methodology is available at this link: https://www.moodys.com/researchdocumentcontentpage.aspx?docid=PBC_1269625 . A full list of affected ratings and assessments can be found at the end of this Press Release. RATINGS RATIONALE Today's rating actions were driven by revisions to the Advanced Loss Given Failure framework within Moody's updated Banks Methodology: a revised notching guidance table, with thresholds at lower levels of subordination and volume in the liability structure have been applied to the UK banks and Additional Tier 1 (AT1) securities issued by banks domiciled in the UK have been included in the Advanced LGF framework, eliminating the previous analytical distinction between those high trigger instruments that were deemed to provide equity-like absorption of losses before the point of failure and other AT1 securities. Moody's removal of equity credit for high trigger Additional Tier 1 (AT1) instruments from banks' going concern capital means that affected banks have reduced capacity to absorb unexpected losses before the point of failure, everything else being equal.

    Understanding your branch closure Santander, Lancaster University, Alexandra Square, Lancaster LA1 4YW This branch temporarily closed 18 March 2020 and has permanently closed with immediate effect. We’d like to explain why, and help you understand how you can continue banking with us. Background to our approach Over the last few years, increasingly our customers are changing the way they manage their money. As well as using our branches, more and more people find it convenient to do their day to day banking using online, mobile or telephone banking. As a result, customers are visiting our branches less. Given this change in our customer’s requirements we’ve undertaken a comprehensive review of our University branch network. This review incorporates analysis and consideration of many factors including where each of our University branches are located and how they are used by our customers. Our branch network remains very important to us and our customers and we’re committed to continuing to invest in and develop our branches. However we will be focusing our investment in those locations where our customers need and use our branches the most. We can assure you that we don’t take the decision to close any branch lightly and we assess each branch individually to consider the potential impact for customers and the alternative options available to bank locally. We hope this leaflet helps to provide more information about our decision to close Lancaster University branch. Branch assessment Before reaching the decision to close this branch, a comprehensive internal review was undertaken. Our analysis and considerations included: ¡ the way our Lancaster University customers are choosing to bank with us ¡ the availability and proximity of additional Santander branches in surrounding areas ¡ the availability of alternative ways to bank with Santander ¡ access to alternative ways to bank in the local area such as the Post Office and cash machines ¡ the level of facilities provided in the branch.
