Gareth Oakley, Managing Director of Business Banking, Lloyds Banking Group:

“We’re proud to play our part in supporting the lifeblood of the British economy at this crucial time. More than 32,000 of our small business customers applied for a bounce back loan on Monday and received the money on Tuesday. We’ve lent £1 billion so far through this scheme and, as more businesses apply, that will grow in the coming days.

“Lending through the BBL scheme is just one way we’re supporting our business customers impacted by COVID-19. Over 14,000 businesses have had their overdrafts extended and we’ve granted over 25,000 capital repayment holidays since the pandemic began.”
