Global: Lloyds Bank Partners with Broadcom to Strengthen Digital Infrastructure

Lloyds Banking Group has expanded its partnership with Broadcom to enhance its data centre operations, aiming to build a more resilient foundation for its digital banking services.

The agreement extends Lloyds’ long-standing mainframe relationship with Broadcom and integrates VMware technology to deliver a consistent operating model across the bank’s private cloud. This approach combines the agility of public cloud services with the security, performance, and cost-efficiency of on-premises infrastructure.

The new platform will support a wide range of applications—including traditional, modern, and AI-driven solutions—while ensuring unified operations, governance, and controls. In addition, Broadcom will provide professional services and training to Lloyds’ engineering teams to strengthen in-house expertise.

Broadcom’s mainframe technology will continue to power the bank’s mission-critical workloads, ensuring operational stability.

“Upgrading our infrastructure allows us to continue delivering fast and reliable digital banking for our customers—whether they’re making payments, applying for loans, or checking balances,” said Ron van Kemenade, Group Chief Operating Officer at Lloyds Banking Group. “It also ensures we have a platform that can scale effectively and support future innovations.”
