    FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS ISSUER IN-DEPTH Lloyds Banking Group plc 18 February 2019 Solvency and diversification in insurance remain key strengths despite change in structure Summary RATINGS In 2018, Lloyds Banking Group plc (LBG) altered its structure to comply with the UK's ring- Lloyds Banking Group plc Baseline Credit a3 fencing legislation, which requires large banks to separate their retail and SME operations, Assessment (BCA) and deposit taking in the European Economic Area (EEA) from their other activities, including Senior unsecured A3 Stable the riskier capital markets and trading business. As part of the change, LBG designated Lloyds Bank plc as the“ring-fenced” entity housing its retail, SME and corporate banking operations. Lloyds Bank plc It also assumed direct ownership of insurer Scottish Widows Limited, previously a subsidiary Baseline Credit A3 Assessment (BCA) of Lloyds Bank. The changes had little impact on the creditworthiness of LBG and Lloyds Adjusted BCA A3 Bank, leading us to affirm the deposit and senior unsecured ratings of both entities.

  • Fitch Places 31 EMEA Bank ST Issuer Ratings Under Criteria Observation
    5/7/2019 [ Press Release ] Fitch Places 31 EMEA Bank ST Issuer Ratings Under Criteria Observation Fitch Places 31 EMEA Bank ST Issuer Ratings Under Criteria Observation Fitch Ratings-London-07 May 2019: Fitch Ratings has placed 31 Short-Term (ST) Issuer Default Ratings (IDR) and related ST debt level ratings of EMEA-based banks Under Criteria Observation (UCO) following the publication of its cross-sector criteria for Short-Term Ratings on 2 May 2019. A full list of rating actions is below. Fitch intends to conclude full implementation of the criteria, and resolution of all UCO designations within six months of the designation. KEY RATING DRIVERS The ST ratings of the affected banks are determined primarily by correspondence tables linking short-term to long-term ratings. The new ST rating criteria introduced changes to our correspondence table between long-term and ST ratings. Two new cusp points at 'A' and 'BBB+' have been added to the existing three cusp points ('A+', 'A-' and 'BBB'), where baseline or higher ST ratings can be assigned. For banks with Long-Term IDRs driven by their standalone profile, as reflected by their Viability Ratings (VR), Fitch uses the funding and liquidity factor score as the principal determinant of whether the 'baseline' or 'higher' ST IDR is assigned at each cusp point. The ST IDRs and, where relevant, associated ST debt/deposit ratings of the following issuers have been placed UCO because the ratings could be upgraded by one notch under the new criteria. This is because the latest funding and liquidity scores that feed into their VRs are at least in line with the minimum levels required for a higher ST rating under the new criteria: - Banco Cooperativo Espanol, S.A.

  • Competition Commission Addresses Exclusionary Conveyancing Practices in the Banking Industry
    Media Statement For Immediate Release 17 July 2020 COMPETITION COMMISSION ADDRESSES EXCLUSIONARY CONVEYANCING PRACTICES IN THE BANKING INDUSTRY The Competition Commission (Commission) is pleased to announce commitments made by Standard Bank, Investec, FNB and Nedbank, to reform their conveyancing practices, following advocacy engagements over the past two years. The banks’ renewed commitment is in response to concerns raised by the Commission on the relationship between banks and conveyancers, which is governed through Service Level Agreements (SLAs) and structured in an exclusionary and anti-competitive manner. In February 2018, the Commission conducted the advocacy engagements following a complaint that was filed by Mr Michael Monthe (Mr Monthe) against Standard Bank. In the complaint, Mr Monthe alleged that he had approached about several law firms in the area where he resides for assistance to institute legal action against Standard Bank. Mr Monthe alleged all the law firms that he had approached refused to take on his matter on the basis that they are part of the SBSA’s panel of attorneys and that they are conflicted in terms of their Service Level Agreements (“SLA’s”) with Standard Bank. Further, the Commission established that the practice of restrictive SLAs for conveyancing services extended to other major banks, namely, Investec, FNB and Nedbank. Following the engagements between the Commission, Standard Bank, Investec, FNB and Nedbank, it was agreed that contractual clauses that prevented law firms appointed to provide conveyancing services from acting against the banks on any matter should be removed. These exclusionary clauses created barriers for small and particularly firms owned by historically disadvantaged persons to expand in the market.
