Lloyds Banking Group Launch Innovation programme


We believe better collaboration with fintechs and insurtechs is key to delivering exceptional service and enhancing our capabilities.

What is the Launch Innovation Programme?

Lloyds Banking Group’s Launch 2024 is a five month collaborative Innovation programme offering rapid experimentation with access to subject matter experts and free business masterclasses.

Successful applicants will work with subject matter experts and dedicated Launch Programme colleagues to refine and test value propositions to solve key strategic business challenges. These bespoke proposals will be pitched to the relevant Challenge sponsors and senior leaders, giving applicants the chance to run a proof of concept in partnership with Lloyds Banking Group.

The Launch Innovation programme runs annually for 2-5 months and is currently open for applications. We’re looking for ambitious and innovative businesses who can provide solutions to one of our five strategic business challenges:

  • Helping customers through their life moments e.g. buying their first home, getting a new job, having children, through to legacy planning
  • Helping customers with their everyday lives e.g. spending and budgeting, saving for the future and financial education
  • Optimising customer experience across channels e.g. responding to customer needs, dealing with digital queries
  • Leveraging technology to enhance internal risk controls
  • Increase customer understanding of their finances through gamification
