Review of the Lloyds Bank, Club Lloyds Current Account:

View on product page

The tedious check that I am making a genuine payment...

The tedious check that I am making a genuine payment gets ridiculous. The "I" in A.I. seems to stand for "Ignorance" rather than "Intelligence" especially when Lloyds thinks it could be suspicious/dangerous for me to transfer money from my Lloyds Current Account to my Lloyds Savings Account; or indeed businesses that I have paid regularly for years.. As for branch service - a recent re-fit removed the clock and provided four teller stations. I always expect a queue and I borrow a chair or ask another customer to hold my place as there are normally only two stations manned, one of which has a non-customer with a complicated query that takes at least 30 minutes (which I guess is why the clock was removed!)

Review of the Lloyds Bank, Club Lloyds Saver:

The Club Regular Saver is a nuisance...

In particular, the Club Regular Saver is a nuisance BOTH for Lloyds Bank and me as a customer. I like the interest rate. I understand transferring the balance every 12 months. But why is it necessary to close the account every year? I have just received through the post four sheets of paper. telling me something I already knew - that the account will terminate in 14 days - and there will be more to follow. I will open another Regular Saver and receive even more bumph. After 10 years of shutting and then opening accounts, I have to conclude what a ridiculous waste of time and money this is. AI is all the rage, it is about time Lloyds Bank learned how to use it properly! Reviewed on: 26th February 2025

Review of the Marcus by Goldman Sachs, Savings:

Reliability, Honesty, and Simplicity

It is a pleasure to use their website. logging in is straight-forward and the level of security is perfectly adequate. Communications are simple and instant access is exactly that. Deposit interest is highly competitive. Reviewed on: 9th March 2022

Review of the By Miles, Car insurance:

View on product page

Just the best

My annual mileage is now well below 3000 and reduced even further by lockdown and self-isolation. What a boon to my finasnces By Miles has been. I pay an annual "parking" insurance charge of around £150 (less than half that I used to pay for a standard policy) and then just over 3p a mile for my car journeys. The service has been good, the tracker gizmo easy to install, and the website which shows me details of all my trips is excellent. Reviewed on: 14th September 2020
