context_page_description: Lloyds Bank International is a wholly owned subsidiary of Lloyds Bank in the United Kingdom, which is in turn part of Lloyds Banking Group, one of the largest banking groups in Europe.
  The bank's overseas expansion began in 1911 and the Lloyds Bank International name, historically a major international commercial bank, is now used for its offshore banking interests.
context_section_description: In 1872, the National Bank of New Zealand was founded in London as an overseas bank and shared many directors with Lloyds Bank. In 1919, Lloyds Bank acquired a small interest in the National Bank and in 1966, purchased it outright. In 1978, the National Bank moved its head office from London to Wellington.
  The commanding presence of the National Bank was further strengthened in 1994, by the takeover of the former government-owned Rural Bank from Fletcher Challenge, making it the country's leading provider of agricultural finance. In 2003, Lloyds TSB sold the National Bank to the Australia and New Zealand Banking Group and in 2013, ANZ announced that the National Bank brand (including the black horse device and colour green) would be retired.
