More on Bank of Scotland
Description from Wikipedia:
The Bank of Scotland plc is a commercial and clearing bank based in Edinburgh, Scotland. With a history dating to the 17th century, it is the oldest surviving bank in what is now the United Kingdom, and is the only commercial institution created by the Parliament of Scotland to remain in existence. It was also the first bank in Europe to print its own banknotes, a function it still performs today.
Since 10 September 2001 the Bank of Scotland has formed part of HBOS plc, following the merger with the Halifax Bank (formerly the Halifax Building Society). This was due to the Halifax insistence that they would only accept merger proposals if their name 'Halifax' was included in bank name after merger. Halifax said it would be prepared to accept a much lower takeover bid from an American bank if this criterion was not fulfilled. Bank of Scotland owns a 50% stake in Sainsbury's Bank - the other 50% being owned by J Sainsbury plc.
On 17 September 2007 The Governor and Company of the Bank of Scotland became Bank of Scotland plc, as part of the HBOS Group Reorganisation Act 2006.
On 18 September 2008 the terms of a recommended offer for HBOS plc by Lloyds TSB plc were announced - a deal worth 12.2 billion pounds. It is expected that the acquisition will be completed by the end of 2008 or early 2009.
