  • UK Business and Charity Digital Index

    The Lloyds Bank Business and Charity Digital Index is the largest measure of digital capability and skills for SMEs and charities. First published in 2014, it is the only measure of its kind. The Index uses a powerful and unique blend of transactional and attitudinal online data to benchmark digital skills and capability of UK organisations.

    For the first time, the report brings to life a five year view of UK data, a spotlight on sole traders and future tech adoption.
