Abbey National 70s Logo

In 1989, Abbey National demutalised, converting from a building society to a traditional, publicly traded bank. As such, the usage of "BUILDING SOCIETY" in the logo ceased around that time.

In 2001, Lloyds TSB attempted to acquire Abbey National, but the deal was blocked by the Competition Commission. Around the same time, Abbey National entered an agreement with Costa Coffee to have concessions of the latter open within selected branches of the former.
