No 360 card then? Hmpf

It was nearly ten years ago now, but I’m still not over the time that we wanted to open a savings account for my daughter. Halifax made us come into the branch to do it, and first did a ‘financial health-check’; then read us the terms & conditions of the account from their computer; and then made us watch a video explaining the terms and conditions of the account. It took an hour. I think they were nervous at the time about mis-selling, but it certainly put me off opening more accounts with them for a while.

35 years ago, went into a Halifax branch to enquire about a mortgage for my first place.

The woman assured me that “We can definitely borrow you that amount.”.

Ended up getting my mortgage somewhere they knew the difference between lend and borrow.

Anyone else logged out of their Lloyds and/or Halifax apps? Online banking seems to be working fine!

Fine here.

Thanks Carlo for checking :raised_hands:t3:

I’ve reported this to their online help team and they gave me an incident number. Apparently last night they updated apps and backend systems between 1-5am and some customers have reported issues like this.

The Lloyds app is working fine for me, on Android.

Thanks both for checking. Looks like it’s only affecting me due to some device security problems. They’ve restored access to Lloyds app but for some reason Halifax app thinks my brand new iPhone 16 Pro Max is copied!! IT ticket raised and a resolution is expected by Tuesday 2pm! @Carlo1460 looks like another Apple Pay story (or similar) in the making! :smile:

Surprisingly not a terrible advert showing on the socials, many views of the new card design.

Be the standard, the club silver and platinum are silver.

Though agreed it looks slightly different in the ad.

It looks too bright green for me in that advert. I like the darker green Lloyds use.

Just seen the Lloyds TV advert that showed someone ‘requesting’ the money back from family members following holiday!
It gives you a fair idea of what mainstream banks have to do now to keep up with the so called disrupters who are bringing new ideas to bank accounts……. along with things like freeze card, block payees etc.

How many hoops do you have to jump through to get the freebies with the paid accounts?

I want the Disney+ sub so I was thinking instead of transferring from my personal to joint, I’ll move it via Lloyds and then I’ll pass the minimum required.

But I won’t bother if its a pain to get the subscription in the first place.

Easy enough. You get an email the month following opening the account to ask you to select the benefit.

After that, you just need to pop in £2000 a month to get it free the following month. They do charge you and then refund, so you need to leave £3 in the account.

Well that’s disappointing.

Funny enough today I got an email from Lloyds with “We want your honest opinion” …

Both latest versions of each card on Apple Pay, and the horse can’t make up its mind which way to face

I’ve just done that and didn’t even get a soft search.

Same here! No searches as such. My new account card details weren’t visible in the app for ~7 days but I was able to add it to Apple Pay day after. Lloyds app usually show previous cards (when upgrading or downgrading) for up to 30 days after which replaced cards don’t work anymore. Transactions are account specific so the one you switch out will be closed and those transactions would only be visible as account statements (inbox feature).

Is it possible to change a Payee’s nickname in the Lloyds app ? Or online on desktop browser ? Thanks.
