Lombard's beginnings can be traced back to 1861 when a group of entrepreneurial businessmen in Rotherham created the North Central Wagon Company, to hire out rolling stock to railway companies. The diamond symbol used in the corporate logo depicts a lump of coal, reflecting North Central's early links with the mining industry.
In 1969 the newly formed National Westminster Bank acquired Lombard Banking, a business set up in 1947, and merged it with North Central shortly afterwards. In 1995 Lombard launched Lombard Direct, one of the early 'direct' loan services offering customers a fast and easy way to finance their goods via the telephone, 24 hours a day.
Following the takeover of National Westminster by Royal Bank of Scotland, Lombard and its Lombard Direct subsidiary are now part of the Royal Bank of Scotland group.
