I'm surprised that no one in this thread has mentioned the South Bank yet. I'm banking on visiting this Bank soon so would be interested to know what accounts can be opened there.

Noooo!  Please don't open this that wide. 
There would be 1000s of them.
Not just the generic field banks, woodland banks, river banks, hedgebanks, canal banks etc but every place named after specific ones of these (even our very own eskbanker). 
Not to mention bank engines for the trainspotters amongst us.
I'm banking on this discussion ending soon.

Lloyds Bank Group operates under the following brand names (i.e. individual operating companies)

Lloyds Bank
Halifax
Bank of Scotland
Scottish Widows
MBNA
Schroders Personal Wealth
Birmingham Midshires
Lex Autolease
Blackhorse
LDC
AMC
IWeb

No, Lloyds Banking Group operates as Lloyds Banking Group or LBG.

Also, brand names are not necessarily 'individual operating companies'...
MBNA is a brand of Lloyds Bank plc.
Halifax is a brand of Bank of Scotland plc.
Bank of Scotland plc also uses the Lloyds Bank brand occasionally.

Here is a link to the Lloyds Banking Group website with a list of their brands.

Apart from

and A part of

so the thread title is ambiguous

Well, it's been an amazing journey of discovery through this lengthy thread. Maybe someone might soon start a thread asking:

What is 1 + 1?

and we can enjoy days debating all the alternative arithmetic and grammatical possible answers to this highly sophisticated and challenging question...ha, ha ha!

Surely the only possible answers to the question in the thread title are yes or no.

Surely the only possible answers to the question in the thread title are yes or no.

Yes, and the only correct answer is an emphatic "Yes"; however the answer to the implied question is "no", so a longer, more explanatory answer is needed.

I would recommend the Esk Bank with the thoroughly decent Eskbanker at its helm

Is the Esk Bank part of Halifax or part of RBS?

Personally I prefer the South Bank.

Glad to see you are keeping us honest and bringing the thread back on topic.

But as a parting thought, my preference is for La Rive Gauche.
