Lloyds Banking Group acquired Embark in 2021 to create a long-term, strategic partnership between the two businesses that benefits from Embark’s expertise as a leading distribution platform provider and the scale of Lloyds Banking Group. This has empowered Embark to continue to offer innovative digital solutions through FNZ’s modern technology capability.

Multi-discipline Teams

As White-Label partners we were able to bring together a multi-disciplined team, covering both Embark and LBG, bringing experts together to provide: 

  • A customer focus within the target market.
  • A strong understanding of User Experience and design.
  • In-depth market and regulatory understanding. 

Successful deployments

In 2023, the partnership delivered the Ready-Made Investment proposition, a straightforward way for customers to save for their futures through an ISA (Individual Savings Account) or a GIA (General Investment Account). 

This innovation continued in 2024 through the launch of the Ready-Made Pension proposition, a pension arrangement that enables customers to consolidate pension pots and build for retirement via regular contributions.  

Ready-Made Pensions has been built to appeal to digitally active mobile banking customers who can follow the online onboarding journey and online account management.
