Categories: Commerce

In 1765 John Taylor and Sampson Lloyd set up a private banking business in Birmingham.

In 1810, the Reverend Henry Duncan of Ruthwell, Dumfriesshire, set up a bank to help his poorest parishioners save for times of hardship. This was the first Trustee Savings Bank.

The two banks merged in 1992.
