Review of the Lloyds Bank, Business Banking:

No customer focus

This is my opinion after banking with Lloyds for 30 years as a business customer After building a flooring business up to close on 1 million turnover per year and being very lucky enough not to ever need to get a loan I opened a new holding company and registered it with hmrc I then contacted Lloyds to open a new business account under the holding companies name this was just to hold excess monies from the main company I own it was all done above board and was money that had been saved up over 30 years with out spending it I was hoping to retire early well fingers crossed I filled the on line application for the new bank account again remember I’ve been with Lloyd over 30 years with over £400000 cash sat in my main business account Went to work this morning 2nd November 2021 opened my mail and 4 weeks after applying for this Lloyds business account Lloyds turned it down so I called Lloyds who told me absolutely nothing bar they wouldn’t open a account for me and gave no explanation Remember we get nothing for loyalty at Lloyd’s anymore you could have the best credit going but Lloyds are not accepting new business accounts as due to being shot staffed and that they make much more processing government back business bounce back loans they allow existing customers to spend hours and lots of time finning forms out and making phone call to Lloyds when they could have told me there not accepting new business banking for now which seems very disingenuous they are obviously not advertising this as it doesn’t look professional to advertise that there to short staffed or too disinterested in looking after loyal customer I have now opened my new holding company bank account with hsbc who opened it the same day and are in the process of switching my main business account to them all with free banking for 24 months Don’t. Forget if you honestly require a transparent corporate banking company who respect loyal honest customers please don’t build a relationship with Lloyds as you’d be extremely disappointed This review does sound like scorned customer who has a axe to grind I’m certainly not I’m just a business owner who’s worked hard for over 30 years and felt that people should know about loyalty or should I say lack of from Lloyd Reviewed on: 2nd November 2021

Great bank

Easy to use the app online. Very good customer service Reviewed on: 8th November 2017

Absolutley crap

Atrocious lines of communication, totally unable to speak to the "right people" and obtain a (time pressured) decision. Lloyds eventually admitted gross errors and offered pathetic compensation. Absolute wankers. Reviewed on: 6th November 2017

Poor.

Poor customer relations. Empty promises. No help. No advice. Reviewed on: 28th June 2017

Business Banking

I have been with Lloyds for over 30 yaers. I have found the business banking to be excellent , and have never had any issues. Only point is the new Lloyds Commercial Online platform, whihc is neither user-friendly, nor intuitive to use. Reviewed on: 23rd June 2017

Charges

A child takes the contents of their money box and gets paid interest. I pay in thousands of pounds electronically and get charged for it! They should have more personal contact, and less charges. Reviewed on: 21st March 2017

Online account

Despite warnings to the contrary, the account was opened quickly and effortlessly. It's easy to use, too Reviewed on: 21st March 2017

Lloyds business banking

A transactional relationship that doesn't really have much effect on our business Reviewed on: 10th February 2017

What are the charges for ?

Never been contacted by any one at the bank about my business account ! So what am I paying charges for ? Reviewed on: 23rd January 2017

Very hard to communicate with their call centre. Incompetence and excessive charges.

Had a business account with Lloyds to gain higher interest on a lump sum. There were monthly charges I was not expecting. It was very hard to communicate - call one number, wait 5 minutes, speak to an operator for a while, passed to another number, wait another 5 minutes! Incompetence - the 'needed to fin out' if a particular account had been shut - why would they need to ask me - it's their account? Could it be a delaying tactic to stop me closing the account? Then they charge £30 to transfer the money from my account to a business account at another bank. Useless! Reviewed on: 9th December 2016

Go out of thier way not to help!

Took 40 minutes and 4 people to give me another contact number! Spoke last week re a complex issue that they couldn't answer, told me they would ring back in 10 mins, 3 days and still no contact... No dedicated relationship managers any more, only call centres that take for ever to answer your call and then have no in depth knowledge of your business. Seems they dont like small businesses any-longer. 0345 # costs 55p from Vodafone, beware of calling them unless you have a bundle for 0345 numbers.. Think they drag out length of calls to take share of call cost. I'm off with my half a million to mMetro bank who are face to face and are open 8-8 every working day. Think Lloyds are heading for the scrapheap. Reviewed on: 2nd December 2016
