The story

TSB Bank plc is a UK retail and business bank headquartered in Edinburgh, re-established as an independent entity in 2013 after being divested from Lloyds Banking Group, and subsequently acquired by Sabadell in 2015. The bank operates under PRA/FCA authorisation and offers personal, business, and mortgage banking. In recent years it has expanded its product set through third-party partnerships — notably Wealthify for embedded investments — while building out open banking API capabilities across Account Information, Payment Initiation, and Confirmation of Funds services.
