Review of the Lloyds Bank, Business Banking:

A example of one of its senior managers behaviour

Michael Huke a senior manager at Lloyds Bank HQ Bristol, a record of his nefarious activities, each reported to Lloyds Bank and Avon and Somerset police where applicable, NO action has been taken by either party. Please view ‘Michael Huke’ on YouTube and witness his disgraceful conduct. 1. CCTV of Michael Huke shouting abuse and videoing his neighbours within their premises. 2. Assaulting neighbours physically and verbally, captured on CCTV and audio. 3. Offensive and unlawful TEXTs sent by Michael Huke…….. a) TEXT ‘My secretary gives me a blow job when I’m allocating bonuses b) TEXT ‘Kompany and Fernandinho (Manchester City footballers) are Northern black c*nts’. c) TEXT ‘Antonio Horta Osario (Lloyds Bank CEO) has no balls because he was off sick at the priory for 6 months’ suffering from a nervous breakdown. d) TEXT claiming ‘He would wind up 2 neighbours (he was hostile towards) so much, he would let them Twat him and get them done’. Plus more TEXTs of a similar grossly offensive nature. 4. When asked by friends the wealth of a landlord neighbour (that he was in conflict with), he answered ‘neither the landlord or his wife bank with Lloyds Banking Group and never have had accounts with us’. Within his ‘position of trust’ how did he determine that information, had they banked with Lloyds he would surely have probed their accounts? 5. He was prosecuted, when caught on covert CCTV, watching his dog defecate outside a neighbour’s property and not clear it up. 6. He signed an ABC (Acceptable Behaviour Contract) issued to him by South Gloucestershire Council ASBO team. 7. Attacked a 71 year old man because he’d parked briefly on the road outside his house; captured on CCTV, video/audio recorded and independently witnessed (view on YouTube). 8. The 71 year old victim of the attack and one of the witness’s (who’d videoed the attack) were arrested and held in custody (several months after the video of the attack had been uploaded onto YouTube, (by persons unknown), charged with uploading the video, (which was factual and not menacing in character) as it discredited Michael Huke in front of his staff and jeopardised his job at Lloyds Bank HQ Bristol. No charge was pursued. This arrest was almost certainly influenced by Lloyds Banking Group, Freemasons, a police sergeant friend who lives nearby or corrupt members of Avon and Somerset Police, possibly a combination of them all. Since the above he works from home one or two days each week spending time at the sports centre and maintaining his property and garden! These incidents plus many more have taken place over a 3 year period; all reported to Lloyds Banking Group, yet Michael Huke is still an employee of Lloyds Bank? You’re views, opinions, advice would be greatly appreciated. Reviewed on: 15th July 2019

Great service

No problems very supportive would recommend Reviewed on: 5th April 2023

Good Service

Once you are through on the phone service is good and leave feeling sorted Reviewed on: 3rd April 2023

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

Good

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
