Review of the Lloyds Bank, Classic Account:

Lloyds Bank refuses my payments by bank transfers.

Lloyds Bank refuses my payments by bank transfers. to my builder and to a financial institution at the branch. I had my passport with me. They asked me a lot of questions that were inappropriate.. They are mental and treated me as a criminal. I wasted one hour each time there and in the end they refused to do the transaction. They also blocked my account on one of these transfers. They are abusing their power. Reviewed on: 21st December 2024

Stole all my money I could die as a result

Lloyds took over £200 from my bank account claiming they'd taken it due to a dispute with a third party. They made no communication with me prior to committing theft of my funds. They then barred me from accessing any money in my account stealing the entire balance. I told them to return the money they'd taken, release the rest of my money, and close the account. They refused all three leaving me with no money at all. They illegally barred me from removing MY money from the account then said they couldn't close the account because there is money in it. I now have no money to buy food, drink, or anything else. They were informed there was nobody else going to give me money and I was at risk of dying from low blood sugar or heart failure from malnutrition. They have still refused to return my money and close the account. So at present I'm looking at dying on the street due to Lloyds bank. I opened my first account with them as a child, have never gone overdrawn, made every payment on time on my credit card, and this is how I've been treated. Years ago they were a very good bank. Now they are guilty of financial abuse and pose a threat to public safety. Prior to the theft of all my money, in recent months they harassed me constantly when I tried to make payments stopping them repeatedly and saying they were trying to protect me from fraud. None of these payments were anything out of the ordinary. The result was that they endangered me and cost me money, and refused to compensate me for the money I lost due to their interference with payment. And that's before you consider the harm from your occasion, holiday, etc being ruined, and the mental harm of being left in a dangerous situation with no access to money. Not only have they stolen all my money and fraudulently kept an account open under my identity in the hopes of taking more money that enters the account, they actually owed me money before stealing the whole of my funds due to their interference with payments that cost me money. If you have a vulnerable loved one who banks with Lloyds, I'd recommend you remove their money from this bank whilst you can and close the account. They will happily block payments or steal funds and endanger customers expressing the view a relative or public body will help them. Not only are they a threat to public safety, but they have the arrogance to think public authorities or their customers families should foot the bill for their financial abuse and fraud.

Straight forward bank account

My Lloyd's bank account is easy to access online. I like the weekly notifications telling me how much I've spent. It's easy to manage my money, pay bills and access my statements. Reviewed on: 20th June 2023

Hit and miss

A very trustworthy bank, where I hold several accounts of different types. The main issue of late is the lack of access via the app, which always seems to be crashing or undergoing maintenance. The website is not much better for access and fails to work on Firefox browsers. However, I feel my money is safe in their hands and transfers are the easiest to and from Lloyds by far.

Lloyds Bank is the BEST Bank!!!

I’ve been with Lloyds ever since I was 16 when I first received my first ever bank account. I’m now 27. Lloyds bank have been brilliant to me. I’ve struggled a lot with my finances and I’ve never felt any timely pressure to pay the full amount back in a short burst. Another benefit of being with Lloyds is if you have an easy saver account (I have 2!), they actually give you interest depending on how much is in the account(s). I’m not looking to change bank anytime soon! Cheers Lloyds!! Reviewed on: 1st June 2023
