Lloyds Bank Classic Account reviews (799)

Great bank with simple views

I love Lloyds and find that they have been the best bank for me so far. They provide simple sign ups to their accounts and their customer service is fantastic. Reviewed on: 15th November 2017

Happy customer for over ten years

I have been with Lloyds bank for over 10 years they do cash back offers with different companies, I also recently received a purchase paid back which is one of their schemes too, the only negative is the new daily overdraft fees on top of monthly fees, I am now paying my overdraft off, as it adds up over the weeks and months.

Easy to sign up, high charges.

Lloyd's is easy to open an account with when you arrive in the UK and don't charge a monthly fee for the a/c but their charges are high. Reviewed on: 8th November 2017

Lloyds provide a fantastic customer service whether in branch or over the Internet. Reviewed on: 8th November 2017

A mixed bag

I've banked with Lloyds for a long time (over a decade) and in that time I've even worked for them through the period when Lloyds Banking Group was splitting into separate entities again. In that time I've seen how the call centre operates - it may have improved but the atmosphere was decidedly sales oriented even though I was in a Customer Service role. I was pressured to meet targets for selling loans, credit cards, insurance and bank accounts, often with limited knowledge of the products themselves. Good customer service was rewarded secondly to hitting 8 sales in a day, this meant there was little incentive to provide it and I frequently dealt with unhappy customers who had been bounced from pillar to post without their actual query being resolved. I believe shortly after I left many banks including this one were investigated by the FCA in regards to this area. As a customer since I've had 3 primary encounters: 1. They accidentally took me off my student account and made me a graduate account while I was still studying (my course was 4 years long and they somehow changed it early in my 3rd year). 2. They were fantastically helpful when I was scammed by a letting agency and got back almost a £1,000 for me in 2 days after weeks trying to resolve it elsewhere. This was fantastic customer service. 3. They changed the overdraft system which is now horrendous and seems to now make customers who are already struggling, worse off, and potentially unable to leave the bank as they are in a planned overdraft. They have also capped their goodwill redress of unplanned overdraft charges from £80 to £40 seemingly. This is a bad sign and ultimately seems detrimental to the customer. For this reason I will likely be taking up a switching offer and moving to another bank. So mixed - great support through their fraud and scam department. But the products themselves and the first point of contact - not great. Reviewed on: 8th November 2017
