lloyds bank diabolical. stay away

1
I used my bank card in the US to pay for a fan at argos for my elderly father in a home in Sussex and they put a security hold on my account and did everything they could to keep me from getting it released. A never ending string of security questions that even though i could answer 90% of them, it was never enough. One of the most aggravating experiences in my life. No I don't remember the date i opened the bleeping account 30 years ago! Reviewed on: 9th July 2018

Daily interest on planned overdraft to 'help' their customers

1
The title says it all. I've had a planned overdraft with Lloyds for years and they now decide that for 'my benefit' they will charge me daily. It makes my statements look like utter nonsense, totally confusing and unnecessary. Reviewed on: 10th May 2018

Nothing special but nothing bad either

It's really like any other bank. I have nothing to complain about but it isn't anything special Reviewed on: 15th April 2018

Moving with the times

I'm really impressed with the amount and quality of the cash back offers that the account offer to customers. The providers are highstreet big names that I would shop at normally and now I get a little back into my account. In comparision my wife has an account with HSBC and their cashback providers on the whole are awful, and for providers you would not normally shop with, or you only get cash back if you shop online with companies you are more likely to shop with on the highstreet. Well done Llloyds! Reviewed on: 5th April 2018

Great reward system

I've had my account with Lloyd's for several years and have always found them helpful and informative. Their everyday offers which offers cashback rewards for using your card is very good and really easy to use Reviewed on: 11th February 2018

Easy and friendly

I have found the bank staff accessible and friendly, which is especially useful when I'm dealing with international transfers delayed by red tape (that is, security concerns) in another country. Reviewed on: 11th February 2018

Great bank
