Would highly recommend banking elsewhere.

Absolutely pathetic bank. I was left a generous inheritance which got my account frozen. Called and gave proofs I wasn't laundering, transferred money to my wife and my mother and all 3 accounts frozen again. Then I actually had fraudulent activity on my account that lost me literally thousands of pounds and suddenly the bank didn't want to know. Took me 4 days in a row of phone calls to get the card cancelled, and I gave up after 2 years of the bank being disinterested in helping me claim my money back. Now I'm over drawn by £60 and you'd think I owe them the world the way they heavy handedly deal with it. Funny how that works, I'm not in a hurry to sort my overdraft as this sorry excuse for a bank refused to listen or to help when someone was using my account fraudulently. Absolute disgrace, if I could give zero stars I would. Reviewed on: 9th June 2022

THE BANK THAT STEALS & MAKES MONEY OF THE DISABLED

Good Customer Service and Account

We’ve tried a few banks over the years but always found ourselves coming back to Lloyds, they have a decent range of current accounts although we decided to stick with a Classic as we have another account elsewhere. App and internet banking is great, telephone banking is alright (sometimes quick, sometimes a little slower) but most importantly, we’ve never been hit with hidden charges which other banks do regularly.

So glad I left them!

I've been with them for over a decade and can't say I've felt the love much. The service has been slow and inefficient, and no gestures of good will have ever been shown to me, despite being on time with payments and trusting them with my money for such a long time. I decided to close my account because I could no longer afford it, but was made to keep it just long enough to pay the account admin fee for one more month, even though I was not going to use it for that month and they knew that. The clerks were less than understanding. So way to ruin literally the last thing, Lloyds. Terrible experience, I'm so glad I left them! Reviewed on: 4th April 2022
