LLOYDS TSB GROUP APPOINTS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR UK RETAIL BANKING



Lloyds TSB Group announces the appointment of Teresa ('Terri') Dial, as Group
Executive Director UK Retail Banking.



Terri Dial brings considerable experience to the Group, having spent 28 years at
Wells Fargo in the US, most recently as Group EVP (Executive Vice President) and
member of the management committee of Wells Fargo & Co. and President and CEO of
Wells Fargo Bank.  Wells Fargo Bank is one of the US's largest retail banks with
over 3,000 branches and over 16 million customers across 23 states.



Widely known as one of the US's most prominent retail bankers, Terri was seen as
the driving force in the growth and success of Wells Fargo's retail and small
business banking.



Dick Kovacevich, Chairman and CEO, Wells Fargo & Co, said: "Terri is an
exceptional and experienced retail banker and business executive with a natural
instinct for what customers want.  In her time at Wells Fargo, she and her team
introduced new and innovative products, technology, and distribution strategies
that have now been adopted throughout the United States banking industry.  She
is a real coup for Lloyds TSB and is sure to make a terrific contribution to
their business."



Terri retired from Wells Fargo in 2001 and since then has held a portfolio of
directorships with small cap technology oriented companies including Chairman of
the LookSmart Corporation and Lead Director of Onyx Software.



Eric Daniels, Group Chief Executive, said: "Terri brings outstanding retail
banking experience and a terrific track record and I am delighted to welcome her
to the team.  With her vision and leadership, she has the ability to develop our
retail business to its full potential."



Terri Dial said: "This is a tremendous opportunity for me to lead the retail
bank within Lloyds TSB and I am excited by the scope of the role.  I was
attracted by the brand, franchise and heritage of the Group and am looking
forward to growing the business for the future."



Terri will join Lloyds TSB on 1 June 2005.
