Because it's a bit of an arbitrary reason that only really works if you look at it on a surface level. CYBG (only recently divested from National Australia Bank) and to a limited extent RBSG are likely at least partially foreign owned and their profits at least partially go overseas. Most large companies have some sort of foreign ownership. TSB still pay their taxes here as an inevitable cost of doing business here. Lidl and Aldi still employ British people, as does TSB.


Honestly if you want to "support the UK", use a local credit union or building society and don't shop in publicly-traded shops or supermarkets at all, because I can all but guarantee that you're going to end up supporting someone or something non-UK otherwise.

CYBG was demergered from NAB and NAB shareholders received one CYBG share in exchange for every 4 NAB shares held on 8th February 2016. What influence NAB still has over CYBG is unclear but CYBG is a British PLC. There are limits in supporting the U.K., for example with tea and coffee. But we can keep to the Commonwealth for those. Last I heard Australia is in the Commonwealth Of Nations and is not in Europe.

I'm old enough to remember when we first entered the "European Economic Community" and how we dumped the Commonwealth and I would be very pleased if we got that back as part of Brexit. Or is it Bregzit?

I wasn't too sure on TSB as I've never been with them, although my girlfriend is with them and the tiny little bit I've seen of her app looks like the same design as what Lloyds and Halifax have although I've never seen it from an internet browser's point of view

TSB still use Lloyds and Halifax's old layout. The latter have now upgraded their online banking (a bit).
