Great service

At Ellesmere Port, I walked in to ask about moving off my basic account and left with a classic account, a savings account and an ISA - I was delighted at how informative and helpful all the staff were and felt no presdure - everything was explained very thoroughly in a way I understood.

Never needed to change

Had this as my classic account since opened my first bank account at 16 years of age. Always been reliable, honest and dealt with any issues I had quickly. Reviewed on: 7th November 2018

Easy to manage

Warnings when near limits and ullage to top up when funds are low. Really useful for those lean months. Reviewed on: 6th November 2018

Pretty good

4
It's the only bank I've ever used, but they're pretty good, and I've never been annoyed by any of the service given to me, either in person, over the phone or online. That should be the highest praise one could give. Reviewed on: 6th November 2018

Great!

I have been with Lloyd’s bank and had a classic account since I was 19 years old and I have never had a problem. I like the little added extras like getting money back from purchases you have made from certain shops or companies. Also the online banking app is so easy and simple to use! Reviewed on: 6th November 2018

Always there to help

5
A few years ago I was quite ill and in and out of the hospital. This meant I was bed bound and unable to go to work, which at the time was a cash in hand job and meant I didn't get any sick pay. From rent and bills I went into my emergency overdraft quickly and was charged fees for this service. I rang up as I didn't know what the fees were and after I explained my situation they wrote off my overdraft fees straight away. Reviewed on: 6th November 2018

Very trustworthy

5
I get emails teaching me what to look out for and I think they are very trustworthy Reviewed on: 6th November 2018

Good customer service, poor criterias

3
Great customer service they always help whenever you need it as much as they can. Unfortunately their internal lending criteria allows customers too easily to overstretch themselves for borrowing, and the recent changes to their overdraft fee structure caused a lot of problems for those deep into an overdraft!
