Good banking product for our local community group and for our social enterprise (Community Benefit Society.) Very easy to apply for online. Longish lead time of 6wks min. Sadly a very unethical financial institution though. Reviewed on: 28th February 2025

average bank

average bank, no nearby branch, restricted opening hours, closed weekends Reviewed on: 10th March 2023

Monthly fees are high but service is reasonable

I’m not ecstatic about Lloyds Business Banking and am unhappy by their overdraft fees and interest rates. I’ve been denied business loans and business credit cards despite a very good credit rating. I will probably switch to a different service soon. The app is good and easy to navigate. Reviewed on: 10th March 2023

Just go somewhere else

The worst small business banking experience. An absolute waste of time. Avoid Reviewed on: 23rd February 2023

Very secure and serious! Easy to solve your problem Reviewed on: 9th February 2023

Set up is a nightmare

They give a timeframe of 6 weeks to set up your business account which is lengthy but I appreciate the volume they are dealing with. I have waited 6 weeks, submitting some additional info along the way when they've requested it. At this point it has been 6 weeks since submitting what I thought, and was told, was everything. They asked for a confirmation on an address on 25/01 and I got told to call back in 48hrs if I hadn't been told anything. 27/01 comes around and I call up for an update. I then get told it could take up to 6 weeks because I confirmed things they'd asked me to confirm. So technically, if they then ring me up and ask for anything else my processing time starts again for another 6 weeks - makes absolutely no logical sense. I could be writing another review in 12 months time still without an account... just insane. I've used them for personal banking for 15 years and they've been fine but wish I'd used someone else to set up my business bank account. Would not recommend to anyone if you want to get set up! Here's to sitting tight for another 6 weeks of processing. Reviewed on: 27th January 2023

Prehistoric

I have a business account with Lloyd's but will be moving it ASAP. It is so old fashioned. I recently got a new phone so couldn't log in to my banking app without going through the login process again. Its ridiculous how many hoops you have to jump through. Couldn't remember my password so them you have to mess about with a card reader machine. Its so cumbersome. I then wanted to change my address so I telephoned the bank, I can do this by writing a letter and going into a branch. I'm suprised they didn't request it be sent by carrier pigeon. I'll be closing my account when I go in to branch. I need a bank thats easy and doesn't require me to undergo 20,000 old fashioned security checks and really, writing a letter? Come on its laughable Reviewed on: 29th July 2022

bank mangers

To many bank manager changes . I have six business account with Lloyds, from property companies to Commerical trading business. Reviewed on: 18th July 2022

Dinosaurs in a modern age - extinct methods

Had a Lloyds business account for over 10 years and during this time the service has only got worse. sending new bank cards to old address even though we have updated the account with new address 3 times. cant do any changes on line, have to print a form send it off and never receive notification if any problems. Their communication is a joke, disjointed and incompetent. They haven't updated their system with our new address against each card holder - only some of them ?????. Reviewed on: 18th July 2022

STAY AWAY!

Useless customer service! Stay Away and use basically anything but them. Reviewed on: 15th July 2022

So poor customer service

The business manager told me to take my business account to Santander literally ? Said why don’t you go to them then if they provide a better service !!! Even though I’ve been banking with them over 10 years SHOCKING STAY AWAY AT ALL COSTS Reviewed on: 6th April 2022
