Review of the Lloyds Bank, Business Banking:

Horrendous! Do not bank with them!

1
They really are the most horrendous bank! We have baked with them for two years. We were outsourcing our payroll and decided to bring it in house. We recruited a finance manager and completed and sent the forms for her to have full delegate access for two of our four accounts. The forms were received by Lloyds 9 weeks ago. 4 weeks ago we tried to set up workers but it turned out both full delegate accounts were set up as view only. I called and they checked the forms and confirmed they had been completed correctly but not setup their end properly. They explained that this would be logged with the Internet banking department and they would resolve. 1 week later... still no news and I had to call.... they apologized and 2 days later 1 account was set up correctly but the other one still wrong. I called again, they said it would be resolved.... 2 days later no news. I called again and they told me they didn't receive the form.... interesting as they were in the same envelope and previously confirmed both forms were completed properly. At this point I logged all the issues as an official complaint. 3 days later still no news so called again.... by this point we had to pay the outsauce company to run the payroll for another week costing us £150. I was told the form was filled in wrong for the remaining account despite been assured they were both correct 2 weeks before. They said they would need to email me another form. Next day still no form... another call and they finally emailed the form. This was a complete joke as due to lockdown we now had to complete and post to each director. The good news (or so we thought), was they called and said if we email the competed form over they would change the account. So we did this and emailed over n the Friday 15th that night they called and said the copy wasn't good enough (it was completely fine but we did another copy and i told photos and resent on Saturday. Monday..... still no news, emailed again, no response, emailed again today (Tuesday)..... still no news..... another payroll missed. Dont go with this bank!! They are the worst bank I have ever dealt with. We are in the process of moving.... this is how they treat business with £5million turnover! Reviewed on: 19th May 2020

Avoid this bank!

1
Bad experience! I had a fraud last week and I lost £398 that the bank doesn’t want to refund me. I don’t deserve this treatment! The bank didn’t protect my account, didn’t send me messages advising about fraud. Reviewed on: 12th March 2019

If you need a business account quick keep away!!

Applied for a business account online at the beginning of December. I thought nice and easy, upload the documents an will be done in no time. How wrong i was! As of 12-Feb-more than 2 months later- still dont have an account! I can't even count how many times i called them as they kept moving the goal post and despite of every time i provided everything they asked for they came up with new things they need.

Modern Business banking with a personal touch

5
I am able to do all of my Business banking via the Lloyds Banking app or the internet banking site, meaning I don't have to waste valuable time in a branch unless I want to discuss something. The experience is smooth and flexible and I feel I can trust Lloyds, as I have done for the past 18 years. Reviewed on: 8th January 2019
