Free Banking for your state funded School, Academy or Free School

At Lloyds TSB, we recognise the distinctive contribution that schools play in enhancing the communities we live and work in, as well as the varied and ever changing nature of the sector's financial needs.

We are experiencing the largest change in our education system since the 1940s with the challenges of academy conversions, free schools and squeezed financial budgets creating a very different landscape to the one that many senior and head teachers first qualified in.

To help schools we have set up and trained a team of specialist education relationship managers who are accredited by the National Association of School Business Management (NASBM).

We have Education Managers based locally throughout the country, supporting school business managers through this unprecedented era. Through our continual professional development programme they maintain a thorough understanding of the current issues affecting schools and provide relevant support and guidance to our customers in the education sector.

Our “best value” proposition includes free business banking* for all state funded schools, including academies and free schools. You’ll also have direct contact with your local specialist education relationship manager who can help you choose financial products and services that are right for your school.

Lloyds TSB is an approved partner of the National Association of School Business Managers (NASBM), and we are the only bank to have our education relationship managers accredited by the organisation. Each member of our team has completed the NASBM Certificate in School Commercial Services to further their understanding of the sector.
