Who is Lloyds Banking Group?


Lloyds Banking Group is a leading UK-based financial services group, whose purpose is to Help Britain Prosper, by creating a more sustainable and inclusive future for people and business, shaping finance as a force for good.

What was their challenge?

Back in 2014, with the regulatory environment becoming more complex, suppliers were being increasingly asked to provide policy compliance and assurance information, which was time consuming for all parties involved.  These suppliers often supported multiple financial services firms.

Lloyds Banking Group wanted to prevent suppliers receiving multiple requests in different formats at different time and felt this was a common challenge across the industry.  The concept of a more community based model where firms could define requirements once and consume outputs in a consistent way was the prize.

To get a better understanding of their supplier base, Lloyds Banking Group, needed a standardised and repeatable process to gather information from suppliers efficiently.

So, the FSQS questionnaire was developed and Hellios’ first community was formed. One questionnaire for all suppliers, displayed in one place, covering all risk vectors with the ability to upload evidence available. Deduplicating work for suppliers where they would previously be filling out individual questionnaires for multiple buyers. 

FSQS was designed to standardise and manage requests for compliance and assurance data from suppliers. 

Fast forward to today, FSQS continues to standardise and manage requests for compliance and assurance data from Lloyds Banking Group’s suppliers. It also helps them demonstrate to stakeholders that they’re working responsibly with suppliers to minimise risk and protect their customers.

Top three benefits for Lloyds Banking Group
