Lloyds share price has had an uneventful start to the week as it is trading flat. But while this is happening, Lloyds banking group continues to make further strides outside of the FTSE 100.

Form3 is a payments solution for banks and fintech companies and has been able to attract a 33 million pounds investment from Nationwide and Lloyds Banking Group. Form3 has seen a 160% jump in revenue from its recurrent income, and this investment could help Lloyds Banking Group diversify its portfolio even further, helping it cushion the shocks suffered by its core banking business.
