Lloyds Banking Group Sets Aside £1.95bn for Car Finance Claims
The UK's largest car finance provider has reserved nearly £2 billion to pay compensation. Here is what that means for Black Horse customers.
Lloyds Banking Group, the owner of Black Horse (the UK's largest car finance lender), has made the most significant financial move yet in the car finance scandal.
The Number: £1.95 Billion
In its latest financial reports, Lloyds has increased its total provision for motor finance redress to approximately £1.95 billion.
What is a "Provision"?
A provision is money that a company sets aside because it expects to pay it out in the future. It is an admission that they see a high probability of liability.
- They are not paying this money out yet.
- They are holding it in reserve for when the FCA scheme officially launches (expected mid-2026).
What This Means for You
If you have a Black Horse agreement, this is a very strong signal. The bank is financially preparing to refund you. It validates that the issue is real and that the payouts will be substantial.
