Lloyds Bank Platinum Added Value Account reviews (35)

Incompetent & arrogant

In 2001, we were persuaded to take out some ISA's despite the fact that they were running at a higher rate than ever before. When I questioned that, they informed me that in their opinion, the rise would continue for some time. Of course the value dropped & by 2004 we had lost half of our investment. In 2007, we found out that Lloyds had been trying to take a PPI payment for a credit card that was paid off & cancelled out of our account for three years. As we were not in the UK, we were not aware of this & there was no money in the account. It took us over 6 months for them to reluctantly admit their error & as a result of their incompetence, it cost us around £60,000 because of the jump in property prices. Some years later they hiked up the rate of interest on my credit card because I had only been paying minimum payments telling me that 'It would help my finances'! How does charging me more help my finances? In September 2018, I cancelled a standing order online. It didn't get cancelled & three payments of £500 have been sent to a recipient. They deny that I cancelled the Standing Order & stated that their system is infallible & errors don't happen. Don't use Lloyds bank.... Reviewed on: 2nd February 2019

Irritating app

Th eapp is quite good but does not match up with website. So we constantly get reminders for us to read statements that we have read and also reminders that we have not been online to check stuff even if we do it daily on the app. IRRITATING! Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

Easy!

Always find them easy to deal with and website easy to navigate. Reviewed on: 6th November 2018

Great account

Great account with great added benefits all for £17 a month Reviewed on: 2nd February 2018

They rip customer's off

Don't go with this bank they have No scruples they have had 1000 in bank charges they r not a good bank Reviewed on: 16th August 2017

Platinum Account Perfect for Families

This account gives an added piece of mind by having your phone, break down and travel insurance all in one place. To be clear though there is a monthly fee. Lloyds were so helpful when I needed to go on holiday and discovered I was pregnant just before flying. They swapped my travel insurance to family insurance and ensured we knew everything we needed to before we left. I would recommend Lloyds to everyone who needed these items.

Awful The fawlty towers of banking

A catalogue of ridiculous mistakes since joining them two months ago, each mistake unable to be fixed properly without numerous complaints raised on my side. Call handlers don't possess the basic skills to perform their job properly and this resulted in my card being cancelled and me being unable to gain access to my money. Compensated each time but this is purely to close down the fault and prevent you speaking to the Ombudsman, mistakes keep occurring which is unacceptable and the simplest of tasks seem beyond staffs capability. 1. No overdraft added to account upon opening one despite one being arranged and authorized at time of application. No card sent on time and several never even turned up. Cards came with incorrect names and title. Card cancelled in error by call handler. Card sent with no pin. Card re sent with no contactless facility. All basic stuff yet they fail every time, don't bank with this bunch of cowboys! Reviewed on: 3rd July 2017

Mis sold

When first opening a account with this company was told I would only be able to if I added a credit card and over draft to the account. charges for these are very expensive and not in my opinion worthy of services Reviewed on: 30th June 2017

Love the bonuses we get from the Platinum account.

The bonuses are great that you get from having a platinum account. Only just yesterday I used the AA breakdown cover. Which when you are stranded, the value on this is priceless. Reviewed on: 23rd June 2017

Expensive & unnecessary

I had this account for sometime and the charges outweigh the benefits Reviewed on: 12th February 2017
