Birmingham Midshires Dormant account now with LBG

Tri2012

Thank you all - My lost account have given us the LLoyds address to post an enquiry.  We’re going to have another look for any other correspondence before contacting them.

LBG never took over BM. It was taken over by Halifax which was subsequently merged into Bank of Scotland. It will long ago have been sent to that community reclaim fund if it's not already withdrawn - which seems fairly likely given the amount. 

And then LBG took over HBOS, meaning that BM ended up with LBG. BM is covered under the Bank of Scotland banking licence, rather than the Lloyds Bank one, but they are all part of LBG.

My previous post is 100% correct - BM > Halifax > BoS 

Lloyds Banking Group (LBG) was called Lloyds TSB Group and not involved in the purchase of Birmingham Midshires Building Society by Halifax plc or the subsequent transfer of Halifax plc to Bank of Scotland plc.

LBG isn't the topco?

Not quite right, BM > Halifax, Halifax + BOS >HBOS (2001)  (within HBOS Halifax plc transferred its undertakings to BOS plc and became just a brand in 2006) , which is much like you said, but then in 2009, as I said  earlier,   HBOS + Lloyds TSB > Lloyds Banking Group (LBG) , at which point BM became part of LBG.

Lloyds Bank and Bank of Scotland are still separate subsidiaries of LBG, with separate banking licences, and BM and Halifax are brands of BOS, sharing the BOS licence.
