Lloyds TSB Insurance and private healthcare giant BUPA are combining forces to offer private health to Lloyd's customers.
The new company, BUPA Private Medical Insurance, is being launched to target Lloyds TSB's business banking community, initially, and will then be extended to all customers as part of the bank's new 'health solutions' product range later in 2002.
Managing director of BUPA's insurance business, Fergus Kee, said: "With healthcare high on everyone's list of priorities this initiative enables more individuals to include BUPA cover in their financial planning."
Jon Pam managing director Lloyds TSB Insurance said the BUPA deal would offer customers more choice alongside the bank's own healthcare options range.
