Terrible Banking Experience and Poor Service

1
Lloyds Bank has been the worst banking experience I've ever had. Their customer service is extremely slow, and when a merchant charged me over £100 in a fraudulent direct debit that I never subscribed to, they failed to warn me and refused to refund the money. Later, without any notice or explanation, my account was suddenly closed, leaving me unable to pay my university fees on time. When I tried to resolve the issue, I was kept on hold for over an hour with no response, and even when I visited a branch, they claimed they had no information. As a student, this was devastating, as I missed an exam due to unpaid fees. Despite requesting a letter to explain the situation to my university, they refused to provide one. It took over two weeks to receive my cheque, even though they initially said it would take only seven days. Their app is also poorly developed, with delayed notifications sometimes arriving nearly a day late. This entire experience has severely impacted my academic life, and I have yet to receive any explanation regarding the closure of my account. Lloyds Bank must improve its services to prevent such issues for other customers in the future. Reviewed on: 17th March 2025

England Best High Street Bank

Lloyds Bank’s Classic Account offers reliable banking with easy online and mobile access. Customer service is generally good, though wait times can be long. The app is user-friendly, but some features could be improved. Decent for everyday banking, but fees and policies could be more competitive. Overall, a solid choice. Reviewed on: 9th March 2025
