The intention to sell the general insurance aspect was also announced, although in the event of a sale, it stated it would continue to sell re-badged products under The Co-operative Insurance name. In March 2013, the Co-operative Banking Group agreed to sell the life insurance, investment and pension businesses to the Royal London Mutual Insurance Society in order to increase its chances of buying more than 600 Lloyds TSB branches due to be divested from Lloyds Banking Group under the TSB brand. In 2011, after 125 years, The Co-operative Insurance announced that it would cease providing life assurance products. CFS Management Services Limited was created at the same time to provide common support services to both CIS and CISGIL. All existing CIS general insurance business was reinsured with CISGIL and CIS continued to write long-term savings and insurance business only. In 2006, CIS split its life and general insurance businesses into two separate entities, establishing CIS General Insurance Limited within which all new and renewing insurance business was written. In 2011, Co-operative Financial Services became the Co-operative Banking Group.
In 2002, Co-operative Financial Services was created as a holding company for both CIS and The Co-operative Bank including Smile, the first full internet bank and, in 2008, The Co-operative Insurance and The Co-operative Investments trading names were introduced. CWS became The Co-operative Group on merger with Co-operative Retail Services in 2000. In 1973, the Scottish Co-operative Wholesale Society merged with CWS. The shares of the Society were taken over by the Co-operative Wholesale Society and the Scottish Co-operative Wholesale Society in 1913. Other classes of business were provided for the general public and not just for co-operative societies and their members. In 1886, at an Annual General Meeting it was resolved ".that Life Assurance be undertaken by the Company, and that the shareholders forfeit any rights they may have to the profits of the Life Department and agree that they shall belong exclusively to the Policyholders." In 1899, industrial life business was also introduced and the company was converted into an industrial and provident society, changing its name to Co-operative Insurance Society Limited (CIS). The Co-operative Insurance Company Limited was formed in 1867 to provide fire and fidelity guarantee insurance to co-operative societies.
