Abbey National plc mainly focuses on worldly things that have immensely helped to make it one of the UK's biggest mortgage lenders. Abbey National plc is best known for its mortgage prowess. In addition to that it also offers an array of services to rival the biggest UK banks. The competitor banks of Abbey National plc are Barclays, HSBC, and Royal Bank of Scotland. Abbey National plc and its subsidiaries provide a wide range of services like retail banking for consumers and businesses; wealth management; and financial markets services, asset management and corporate banking. As part of an attempt to redefine itself, Abbey National plc has shortened its brand name to just as "Abbey." But an even bigger change occurred during its 2004 purchase by Spain's Banco Santander Central Hispano.
