Like the modern Britain we serve, we’re evolving. Investing billions in our people, data, and technology to transform the way we meet the ever-changing needs of our 26 million customers.
Our focus is to ensure we're inclusive every day, building an organisation that reflects modern society and celebrates diversity in all its forms. We want our people to feel that they belong and can be their best, regardless of background, identity or culture.
