In 1770 Osgood Hanbury, who was Sampson Lloyd II’s son-in-law, founded a bank in London named Hanbury, Taylor, Lloyd, and Bowman, and Sampson Lloyd II’s son (Sampson III), and John Taylor junior, became partners. This became the London partner of the prosperous Taylors and Lloyds bank in Birmingham.

During his lifetime, and in his will, Sampson Lloyd III provided his three eldest sons with partnerships in both the Lloyd iron firm and the Birmingham bank. His fourth son, John, was placed in London where he became a partner in the Hanbury tobacco business in 1772 and in the Hanbury bank in 1790. In the next century, the Lloyd family abandoned the iron business, and focussed on banking, making Lloyds Bank a major player. By the end of the century the bank was a limited company, and no longer a family business.
