Terrible from top to bottom
Terrible bank. App was extremely poor. Wanted additional services from them which they refused and couldn't give me a reason for. Give Monzo a go, much better.

Terrible bank. App was extremely poor. Wanted additional services from them which they refused and couldn't give me a reason for. Give Monzo a go, much better.
I had an issue with a large payment being blocked due to suspicions of fraud, and ended up having to call the Fraud Prevention Team in the middle of the night. The lady who helped me could not have been nicer! So pleased with this service, it was a long process involving multiple security questions and she was thorough and understanding at all times. Such a relief to get my account unblocked, thank you so much.
Avoid getting involved with this shambles of a business at all costs. I have no idea how their IT Department do their business, but it doesn't work and the 'banking' is a national embarrassment. No e-mail addresses, sterile (purile?) customer services, no ability to solve problems (of their own making!).....this bank will not last long if this level of shambolic reactions to customer help requests is representative....which, from my experience, it is every time. Best go to a bank that provides service and values its customers.

Third day in a row had to call fraud team as my transaction to pay money to myself has been stopped. Each team member I spoke to at Lloyds in order Stephen, Gary and today Grace - have each time decided to talk over me whilst I was complaining to them why I was being stressed out. They ask the most impertinent questions in particular what are you spending this money on!!! What’s the relevance - my money was stopped and I have to call them to release it - surely this action implies that I want to continue- but they also ask that as the last question ! I understand that crime online is massive but I don’t need to walked by their hand to move my money. These sums were deposited in four separate payments into my account but NONE of these flagged as suspicious or gave their fraud team any alert - so happy to revive income but not happy to release it. Do I have control of my own finances or do Lloyds control what I am able to spend my money on. They read scripts and then deny reading a script but word for word each agent read the same spiel and wasted my time - again no acknowledgement of the fact I advised each of them I was mentally aware of scams,fraud and online manipulation. This was so stressful and made my anxiety levels rise it affected my current medical condition. I know I can switch Banks and have considered this but my loyalty over the last 60 years account for nothing and I know that most institutions that we all have to use such as banks are as bad as each other and only shareholders and profits are important - customers are just an inconvenience. Lloyds bank need to listen to the three calls and arrange a review of staff training. I have another transaction to handle in the next 24 hours and I can guarantee it will be stopped. I have a feeling my account might now be tagged to cause me further frustrations - Lloyds need to turn back the clock and stop relying on AI technology and place the customer first. I feel burnt out trying to get my feelings across to them.
Their 'message us 24/7' service is so bad I'm considering switching banks. If your address doesn't show up on their drop down list you have to message them just to wait half an hour and then I had some guy called Tahir switch my address to the completely wrong house number. I then had to go into the branch to get it changed - they were lovely and helpful, but it didn't confirm and was missing the first line of my address so I messaged again just to be left on read by someone called Ankit and they didn't close the chat so now my chat feature is broken and I don't even have access to their terrible feature. I also have an account with HSBC and changing my address for them was as simple as pressing change address and typing it in. I cannot understand why Lloyds make everything so extra unaccessible.
Travelled from Cardiff to London to purchase a car, made the payment via online banking and my account was instantly frozen for a payment review, I am 3 hours away from home with no access to my money at all, I cannot book travel home, I cannot book a hotel, I’ve already spent 1 night on the streets through no fault of my own and no sight of this being resolved anytime soon, Lloyds staff don’t care, they’ve told me to contact a homeless shelter, in hours away from home in a place I’ve never been, it’s very disturbing that a bank can do this to a human being without any care for their welfare
I've done absolutely nothing wrong, I thought switching from TSB to Lloyd's was going to have a positive affect for myself instead I have been given very poor customer service and left in the dark about the situation I attempted to make a repayment to a loan company named ACI because I owe money and this payment was declined by Lloyd's and triggered a fraud alert, I'm not quite sure why because I am trying to send money to a Balliffes to avoid being taken to court if I do not pay them the amount I owe I am in the middle of switching to Lloyd's bank and have been relying on online banking to be able to pay for anything as my debit card has not arrived in the post as of yet I tried to hold several calls with Lloyd's advisors over the phone to which I was placed on hold and then hung up on at least 3 times by different advisors, I have been made to feel distressed upset because of this I do not understand why my online banking has been blocked and I am honestly shocked because I even let the advisor know the phone at the time that I need to have my card and online banking unblocked as I need to be able to travel to and from work, I do not drive and so do not hold a drivers license I have recieved a text saying my account will be closed and I only just joined Lloyd's I am upset and shocked at this decision simply from me attempting to make a genuine payment to a loan company I have been left with no funds to be able to buy food, travel anywhere or go about my daily life I even had a cinema showing booked before Lloyd's decided to just block my account and kick me off online banking for doing absolutely nothing wrong Because of this I am now having to travel to and from work which us roughly 8 miles away because I am unable to book an uber taxi, Lloyd's have caused me financial hardship
I wish I could review with 0 stars! Worst customer service ever. Worst experience ever! Worst services ever! Faulty bank account cards for the last 4 months! Unsolved problems with Apple Pay and TfL payments.
Not sure how else to get assistance for the online banking app as it's sending me around in loops. All I'm trying to do is get my statements in digital format and can't. When I change my preference to online statements on the app it does not allow me to save my changes but just sends me back to the accounts. Very frustrating. In this day and age getting my bank statements shouldn't be such a complicated mission..with other banks it's so simple and can be done in seconds. Why can't I just simply get the option to click and download my own bank statements in seconds!
Can't pay anyone but myself through a bank transfer. Contacted bank to be told that it's a known issue only affecting a number of customers. 3 weeks later and it's still an issue with no explanation. Very difficult to get to talk to a human. Have been a loyal (in credit) customer for many many years and feel bitterly disappointed and let down so I am voting with my feet and moving my account to another bank.
Terrible company. I made a payment, they put the payment on the wrong card. Try getting a refund! They said the payment didn’t come from my account. Well I made the payment and have evidence of it which is sent them. They don’t even have phone numbers to reach to back office. Still chasing £12,800
Incompetent bl. idiots. Keep blocking my card for fraudulent activity and can't even tell me why. Nobody has the faintest idea what they are doing. They are relying on systems which are not fit for purpose. No point moving accounts because they are all as bad as each other.
I have imported a machine for my private use from China which has now arrived at Greenock port in Glasgow. Prior to its arrival I contacted a well-established import agent to handle the importation and that agent has today sent me an invoice for payment of VAT, duty and their fees which I today tried to pay, online, from my Lloyds personal current account which I have held since 1975. I logged into my account and set up the transfer and eventually was told that there was a problem and to ring the fraud department. I was not wildly surprised due to the sum involved but got a bit fed up when after waiting 15 minutes to get through to them and having been asked a load of truly moronic questions (despite my explaining the full circumstances to the Lloyds representative) and eventually the call failed. Thinking they might call me back knowing their own system was going to be busy, I waited for 10 or 15 minutes for them to do so but no call happened. So I then rang them back again, waited another 15 minutes to get through to someone, got the same series of daft questions from another representative, again explained the full circumstances and essentially that it was not a scam and realistically any reasonable person listening to me would also understand that it was not a scam. Despite all this Lloyds declined to allow me to *spend my own money the way I want to* and refused to permit the payment to go through online. They said the only way I could do it from my personal account would be via a debit card. Unfortunately the import agent in question does not accept debit cards (not unreasonably). This is not the first serious failure I have experienced with Lloyds. Indeed, I had to close my business account five years or so ago with them after an error on Lloyds' part caused me to temporarily lose access to several thousand pounds and a caused great deal of work and stress over obtaining a court order to get them to release it, a process that cost the best part of a thousand pounds… It's a long story. As a result of my dealings with Lloyds this morning I decided to make a complaint and rang them to do so. I eventually got through to someone and explained the circumstances to them and they said that they would have to transfer me to another department and you guessed it... on doing so, that call failed as well. As a consequence of all this I have decided to terminate my personal account with Lloyds and would strongly recommend that no one be stupid enough to open an account of any sort with Lloyds Bank whose attitude, work practices and systems all appear to firmly reside in the 19th century. Instead I would recommend they try one of the new online ('challenger') accounts. There is absolutely no disadvantage to doing so any longer as the only real advantage of being with one of the main online banks was there approachability and of course that matters for nothing anymore. It is all really rather sad.
Debit card always being blocked - random - and been left without the ability to pay for things like fuel / food in supermarkets, highly embarrassing and extremely unhelpful when you call them - they say it's your fault and actually pretty rude. Moving Back ASAP.
I recently noticed my overdraft facility had been slashed. I have never used it but was there as a just in case. I complained and received a phone call from them saying basically tough we can do what we want. She was most put out when I insisted I want a written response. Over the years Lloyds and others have basically cut service. No regards to the public who bailed them out in 2008. They have closed two branches that I used (Chessington and Surbiton) and it is only a matter of time before they close the branch in Sudbury Suffolk. What about access for the elderly and disabled. All governments have just let this happen instead of introducing legislation to stop closures happening. Well done Lloyds. I have had my current account with you for over 50 years. You have lost a long time customer, though I doubt as an organisation you care.
Lloyds I went through the loan process (on-line), which was agreed in principle. I later decided that I didn’t require as much, so decided to reduce the amount I wanted to borrow. However, the bank then declined my application, stating that I should telephone them - which I did. I checked my credit score with them and I have an excellent score, only just off the maximum. I telephoned them as suggested and went through so many questions, of which I felt some of them were intrusive and irrelevant. Finally the bank employee informed me that my application had been declined, but they were unable to tell me why. The employee told me that I should get a copy of my credit report to try to understand why. I did this and my credit report is clear - so no outstanding debt at all, I have no mortgage or rent either, and I have savings and investments. To make the matter worse, the following day I went to the bank branch to pay some money in (the branch is 9.5 miles away - a further 5 miles after they closed my local branch). When I got to the teller, I was informed that I should pay the money in via the self-service station, I replied I wanted to pay the money in in-person as I preferred this method. The bank teller then informed me that this time she would not make me go over to the self-service station and deal with my request. I paid the money in and requested a receipt, however, she said that they don’t issue these, that I would have to go online and print it out, or go over to the self-service station and log in and request an account balance! I informed her that I wouldn’t be doing this, and that I felt Lloyds are just making banking more difficult for people. I also told her that I had experienced poor and unsatisfactory service from Lloyds the previous day. She didn’t comment on anything I had said, just used my name and thanked me!
I will be switching my current account from Lloyds as well as my business accounts to move Santander. I have never miss payments with Lloyds and they suddenly decreased my credit limit from 11k to £4.300 which I already used £4.100. Thanks Lloyds for messing my credit score. Not recommended.
All I want to do is close my credit card account. Ended up being pushed down the complaints route (as is usual with banks) but can't get through and nobody will call back. Absolutely hopeless
I would like to provide some feedback regarding my recent experience with the chat service at Lloyds bank. After being a loyal customer for nearly 20 years, I was expecting a much higher level of support. Unfortunately, I found the assistance lacking and not as helpful as I had hoped. I requested for a survey to share my thoughts, but when I asked about it, I was told to send my feedback through the chat for the 'dedicated team' to review. I’m uncertain if it will reach them, so I will also be posting my feedback on Trustpilot and Google reviews to ensure it is noted. I hope this feedback helps improve the service moving forward for others but looking at the previous reviews now, I am not sure if anything will change and can see that others have had horrendous experiences as well
