Lloyds says its preferred option for the sale of 632 bank branches is to sell them to the Co-operative Group.
The mutually-owned Co-op had been in competition with new bank venture NBNK for the assets.
Lloyds will now enter exclusive talks with the Co-op, which runs a financial services division along with a supermarket retail arm.
Robert Peston reports.
