“I have had various problems with Lloyds and the customer advisers are rude and argumentative. I felt humiliated . I will be closing my account as this is the worst bank ever. Absolutely rubbish for customer service. Do not bank with them!”

“Their Commercial Banking system is hopeless. In fact it is actually getting worse! Now it's not putting in the value date automatically and it takes at least two goes to key it in! Often the program does not work fully or properly - I have no such problems with other banks. On top of all this, we now no longer seem to have a Relationships Manager! I keep being told to phone a call centre. I want a person with whom to inter-react. Our T/O is only £1.5 million pa, but surely we deserve better than this. All in all, over the years, I have found Lloyds flakey and dysfunctional. If you are thinking of opening a business account, never ever choose Lloyds.”

“The cheque imaging app/system is not fit for purpose, today I have been told by the business support call centre that because we have a different trading name to our limited company (both are on our bank account and have been since 2008) the system will not accept cheques issued in our trading name although their IDMs, deposit points and counter services will. The whole thing is a scam to play lip service to the instruction to speed up clearance of cheques. Bad service Lloyds, put it right or lose customers”

“I rang today to report unauthorised payments by a scam business that appeared on my account. First of all the agent got annoyed with me when I asked politely to repeat what she said. English is not my first language so during phonecalls sometimes I need extra second to process what was said or to hear it again as sometimes I find it more difficult to instantly make sense of the words and someone's unique accent during phone conversation than in real life. Also I have minor hearing issues which can be quite distressing. So when she repeated with this condescending tone I felt like an idiot. From there on her manner was exactly that - like she really didn't want to deal with me. She didn't listen what I was saying, told me to contact the company before bank can open despute, even though just a sentence before I informed her that I did call and emailed that company many times and they're basically ignoring me. Apart from one email I got as a reply that I should try to call them... So when bank agent said I should wait for them to respond I started wondering who they're protecting more? Me, a loyal customer with bank account, savings account and credit card, or a scam who tricks people into payments without notifying them? I tried to explain again and again that I waited long enough for them to refund my money and all the agent had to say was that they can't open a despute if the company didn't contact me to offer a resolution. I regret mentioning that this company gives only 14 days for their unwilling customers to request the refund and that I'm close to that deadline. Agent said that bank won't do anything until those 14 days passed!!! So I was robbed by some pathetic wannabe-company, then had to waste my time ringing and emailing THEM to "please give me my money back", just to be ignored and then told by my bank that I'm basically NOT PATIENT ENOUGH. I was in great need of that money as a student and a mother of 2 year old who actually meant to have a birthday party that week. Had to borrow money to be able to organise party for the little one. I've learnt from my mistakes and will be changing banks.”

“I would have liked to put no stars! I have been with lloyds bank over 30 years, had no missed payments or bad credit. My husband has had an accident and is unable to work for the next few months until he recovers from his operation , so we are down to just 1 wage, I rang lloyds bank to ask them if they could not charge any fees for a short period of time if we use my overdraft, I was put through to an advisor who went through our income based on the situation we are now in and our outgoings, informed me we will have more going out than comming in, I pointed out that I knew this which is why I rang for support, I was then put through to another dept and told as this was the case they have put a stop on my credit card and if we use the overdraft and don't clear it in 30 days they will close all our accounts! Shocking customer service, they need training on bieng a human. Obvious to say we are leaving them.”

“We have three banks where I live and just to see how good these banks are I tried to get £200 in £2 coins from each one. Two I had no trouble at all with, but, after waiting 20 minutes, I was told this was not possible as I was not a customer there. I wasn't a customer at any of the bank, but Lloyds was the only one to refuse my request. Lloyds is not a people friendly bank and the service was terrible. Very abrupt woman at the till. I am very glad I'm not a Lloyds customer and the quicker they go out of business the better as far as I'm concerned.”

“They are the worst bank that you can go. They make a lot of mistakes and they are not careful enough. if you need something and you contact them via email you need to wait a while for them to respond. i am very disappointing and i do not encourage anyone to open an account there.”

“Awful bank to deal with. Business banking is a complete nightmare and I wasn't even able to log a formal compliant because the department weren't picking up the phone. My main issue is that within the past few months we've had our card flagged and blocked by the fraud department for unusual transactions and there was nothing unusual in them at all. Unlike personal accounts, you get NO notification payments are blocked, *your payments simply get declined*. You can imagine the impact this might have on a business. At the time of typing this review, I'm on hold for whats expected to be 40 minutes to get the block lifted because some computer algorithm seems to think a regular payment is likely fraudulent (that was the case last time). Complete nightmare and I'm changing accounts asap.”

“Absolutely the most incompetent Bank, simple banking activities such as making a deposit at a branch are prevented by appallingly obstructive & unhelpful staff (not trained & not their fault). Management consistently demonstrate they do not care about their customers or their business. There are always problems with basic bank services at Lloyds.”

“I went through the online application for a bank account. I was asked to visit a local branch to verify my ID and residence address. It said that for the former a driver's license would suffice, whereas for the latter a tenancy agreement from a letting agency would work. After waiting for a considerable time, I've been told that noone at the branch recognizes my lettings agency. My letting agency is not even a mile away. I was adviced to go to another branch or to make a doctor's appointment, where a doctor could confirm my address (using my tenancy agreement as proof of address himself..). I tried various times to contact another branch about 20min by bike away, but noone picked up the phone. When I arrived there they told me that my tenancy agreement was fine, but they wouldn't accept my driver's license as ID, because it doesn't have an expiry date on it. Also, on my tenancy agreement the district was mentioned. On the online application that field was optional, so I left it out. Because of this, I had to redo the whole online application. Now I am back at the branch and even though it says nowhere that an appointment is necessary, they ask me to wait for 45mins until someone with the authority becomes available. tl:dr: Although it should be just a formality to open a bank account after the online application, the Lloyd's Bank knows how to waste your whole day, making up problems and regulations that where previously never mentioned.”
