Review of the Lloyds Bank, Classic Account:

View on product page

Not Bad But Not Enough

I used Lloyds Bank for a really long time, and for the most part it was decent and reliable for everyday banking. It was actually my main account for quite a while, so I’ve used it across a range of things like daily spending, transfers, and just general money management. Things started to change when I got a new phone. I tried for a long time to add my card to Apple Pay, but it just would not connect at all, which became extremely inconvenient. I genuinely tried to resolve it properly. I contacted customer service multiple times, went into the branch a couple of times, and spoke with different team members, but no one was really able to fix the issue. It kept getting blamed on the system or interface, which was quite frustrating. When I later looked online, I realised a lot of other people were facing the same problem, so it clearly was not just me, but it still did not seem to be getting resolved. Because of this, and the fact that it has now been almost a year, I have pretty much stopped using Lloyds as my main account and instead just use it as a buffer or backup account. I also feel like they do not really offer much, or at least clearly communicate, when it comes to savings accounts and interest. I did not gain much from it, and that is one of the reasons I started using other banks for savings instead. The app itself is fine, but compared to more modern options like Revolut or Monzo, it feels quite basic and less user friendly. It is not as intuitive, and it can take longer to find things or navigate around. Overall, I think the bank is okay, but my experience has not been the best recently. I have had issues where my debit card gets declined randomly and shows incorrect messages about exceeding limits, even though I do not actively use it anymore. Because of this, I do not feel fully confident relying on it. I used to enjoy banking with Lloyds, but now I mainly keep it as an emergency account. I would consider recommending it, but it definitely would not be my first choice. Reviewed on: 19th March 2026

Review of the Revolut, Savings:

The Only Banking App I Use!!!

I have really enjoyed using Revolut across a variety of things in my day to day life, from investing in cryptocurrency to sending money abroad, and even just managing my everyday spending. It genuinely feels like more than just a bank account to me because I end up using it for so many different purposes on a regular basis. One feature I particularly like is how sending money works. It almost feels like a direct messaging system within the app, which I find so much easier than traditional bank transfers. You can clearly see who you are sending money to, and there is a small symbol next to their name that helps distinguish between accounts. This is especially useful when someone has two bank accounts, as it removes any confusion and makes the whole process feel much more secure and straightforward. I also really like that you can message other Revolut users within the app itself, which makes things like splitting bills or sending quick payments feel very natural and user friendly. I have also been using their savings account, and I really like that they provide daily interest rather than adding it all at the end of the year. It makes saving feel a lot more visible and rewarding. The round up feature is another thing I have found really helpful because it allows me to save small amounts without really noticing, while still keeping track of my spending. Overall, the interface of the app, its responsiveness and how quick everything is are the main reasons I keep using Revolut. Everything feels smooth and easy to use, and my experience has been very positive. I would definitely recommend it to others. Reviewed on: 19th March 2026
