As a Lloyds Bank business account…

As a Lloyds Bank business account customer, I am extremely disappointed with the service. We were left on hold for over 40 minutes trying to get support and were unable to reach anyone. Businesses rely on prompt assistance, especially when dealing with banking matters. This level of customer service is unacceptable and reflects poorly on Lloyds Bank. Significant improvements are needed to ensure business customers can access support when they need it.

Customer service and help is dead!

No answer on the chat app after 1 hour, got through on the phone after 30 mins after dealing with mine issue they now tell me I have to transfer to deal with the other, get transfered and now the wait is over 40 mins, its just crap customer service, to cap it off they closed every branch of Lloyd's/Halifax/BS in my area and now to go to branch its miles away. Do not open an account with them use Revolut or Monza!

They hate customers ringing them

This bank do their very best to avoid any phone calls, from their useless AI chat to inordinate wait times. They don't even put a number on their cards anymore, you have to search for it.
Had my Lloyd credit cards replaced from Mastercard to Visa recently. Could add to iPhone wallet but adding to Apple watch wallet was ridiculous. The card needed verifying which took you to their abysmally useless app which showed nothing whatsoever. Then after several attempts at that rubbish the only option is to verify by phone - which they don't answer for ages. To be fair - when you do finally get to a real person they are always very helpful.

Thank you Ruksanah from Kilburn Llyods

After having negative experiences in the Kilburn branch with staff taking so long to help me set up my online banking. Ruksana was a massive help. She helped me with 10min which prior took months. So thank you ruksana for your prompt advice and sorting out a simple IT Issue I hoped someone helped me before with.

Update ! Lloyds Bank: Unethical Coercion, Stalling, and 3 Days of Psychological Distress!

Lloyds Bank’s handling of my fraud case has crossed all ethical boundaries. I demanded a formal complaint to be logged on 28 May 2026. Instead of complying with UK regulations, their support team dragged me through a 72-hour live-chat nightmare. This critical process is clearly being managed by incompetent, overseas offshore agents who have zero professional authority. Even though Lloyds officially admitted a 'Bank Error' in writing, they intentionally withheld my reference number with endless 'shortly' lies, causing severe psychological distress.
The ultimate disgrace occurred when they finally generated complaint number NC14893038 on 31 May—3 days late. Shockingly, they logged this complaint on my behalf but flatly refused to tell me what they actually wrote in the text. Hiding the contents of my own formal file from me is a massive transparency breach.
To top it off, an agent presented me with an unethical ultimatum: either accept a £50 'goodwill' gesture and close the case immediately (Option 1), or forfeit the £50 entirely if I insisted on escalating my case to a Complaint Manager (Option 2).
Credit instruments demand the highest level of security and professional handling. Lloyds Bank completely ignores the psychological and financial impact on fraud victims. Conditioning an agreed compensation on whether a customer exercises their lawful right to an investigation is a textbook breach of the FCA Consumer Duty. I have rejected their financial bribery, chosen the formal escalation, and am presenting this entire transcript of customer intimidation directly to the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS)

Hi. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience. I'm really sorry to hear about the distress this situation has caused, I understand how serious and upsetting fraud-related concerns can be.

I want to reassure you that handling fraud and complaints fairly and transparently is very important to us. It’s disappointing to hear that you’ve felt unsupported and that there were delays in your complaint being raised and communicated. This isn’t the level of service we aim to provide.

As you’ve now received a complaint reference, this will be reviewed by our dedicated complaints team, who will contact you directly with a full response once their investigation is complete.
They’ll also consider the concerns you’ve raised about how the case has been handled.

If you’d like further information on how we support with fraud, please visit: https://www.lloydsbank.com/help-guidance/protecting-yourself-from-fraud.html

If you’d like to discuss this further in the meantime, you can also message us via the Mobile Banking app or Online Banking and ask for your case to be referred to the complaints team, quoting your reference number.

We understand you bringing this to our attention, as feedback like this helps us improve our service.

No statements or 0% expiry date ever published for credit card

I needed to view the expiry date of an interest free balance transfer on a credit card account online. Apparently this information is on my pdf statements. However, I have no way of knowing if this is true or not as none are visible or appear to have been created for for this account. I call customer service and get stuck in a loop with various people from the credit card and banking teams for 50 minutes. I have to end the call as I have to work. I have raised a complaint with Lloyds banking services for not providing information about credit products which they are mandated by banking regulations to provide.

Hi Simon. Thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback. I'm really sorry to hear about your experience, I understand how important it is to have clear access to your credit card information, including statements and promotional expiry dates.

Your statements should be available through Online Banking, and they generally include details about promotional offers such as 0% balance transfers. I'm sorry to hear this hasn’t been accessible to you and that you had difficulty getting support when you called, that’s not the level of service we aim to provide.

We also note that you’ve raised a complaint, this will be reviewed by our dedicated team, who will be in touch to investigate and respond fully.

In the meantime, you can message us 24/7 via the Mobile Banking app or Online Banking and ask for your query to be transferred to the complaints team. If you have your complaint reference number to hand, please include this so they can locate and review it more quickly.

Thanks

Indifferent towards fraud.

My wife reported a fraudulent debit on her account. She was in the US at the time and could not have made the transaction. Having reported it, Lloyds replied a couple of days later to say that as she had not been in touch (!!) the case was closed. She is currently having a heated exchange with the automated call handling service. It does not appear to understand basic English, so the interaction is not going well.

I am absolutely amazed that Lloyds’ approach to fraud is so apparently indifferent. I am further amazed that as they are about to lose a customer of 38 years, they don’t appear bothered, especially for £200, chicken feed to an outfit like Lloyds. Shocking and very stressful for her to sort out whilst recovering from jet lag now she is back in the UK. Am amazed they don’t appear to care.

Hi Nick, thank you for your feedback. I’m really sorry to hear about your experience, this sounds incredibly stressful, especially given the circumstances and while your wife was abroad. I can understand how concerning it must be to have a fraud case closed unexpectedly and then struggle to get the support you need. This isn’t the level of service we aim to provide.

Lloyds credit card - avoid at all cost

I had a Lloyds credit card. It is the worst credit card I've had in years of holding many accounts, and I've just cancelled it.

The core problem is an overly aggressive fraud prevention system that makes the card functionally unusable. Routine transactions — buying on Amazon, contactless payments in stores, standard online purchases — are blocked at random, with no explanation. Every time this happens, calling Customer Service means 20–30 minutes on the phone, passed between three agents, and subjected to repeated security checks, just to approve an ordinary purchase.
The Apple Pay issue was the final straw. Adding a card to Apple Pay takes seconds and works flawlessly with six of my other UK credit cards. With Lloyds, I spent another half-hour on the phone with three different people, only to be told it couldn't be added because my iPhone region is set to the United States — despite this being a UK card used in the UK. That's an absurd and entirely avoidable limitation that no other card issuer seems to have.

I've cancelled my account and won't be using Lloyds for anything again. If you want a card you can actually use for everyday transactions without constant friction, look elsewhere.
