It took about a week after signing up on that page to get to the front of the queue.
Which one is that?
I have the Club Lloyds Monthly Saver which is 6.25% fixed and allows up to £400pm deposits.
No amount of offers would tempt me back to them. Awful customer service. Having none of my money.
I have seven RS at 7% or above on the go atm anyway, so no need for another ![]()
Anyway, back to Lloyds Banking Chat…
Apologies, it is 6.25% ![]()
Quite likely, think I reached top of the list after a week or so, with an active credit card and £5 in a saver.
Aw my first ever bank account was with FBS.
Could be - I have the grand total of £1 in one of their savings accounts and they are constantly badgering me to open a bank account.
Currently looking at Lloyds as an alt to HSBC. Does anyone on here have the World Elite card? Looks to be decent for the monthly fee.
Considering also other choices here, I’m a little lost though in how it works. With HSBC cards are just there and you choose the one that you want, with Lloyds it’s all hidden behind a “no impact on your credit score” page which I suspect is really doing a soft check.
Is there a way to just find out what’s what without doing this?
Also, I love the format but don’t love the fact it arrived at least 20 minutes after the fact. At least with HSBC they arrive instantly.
No, LBG (Halifax does the same) only show you credit cards you’re specifically eligible for, along with an estimated limit. So you have to submit the eligibility checker but it is only a soft search so harmless really.
Oh? I’d read it worked in a few places, Manchester being one. I’d have no use for it otherwise since I’m up North. May have to do some more digging here.
Nice logo there, the reverse colours work well on the notifications.
Well that’s good to know, I can just about in my mind justify the cost for the use if I can use it there otherwise unlikely I’d ever use it to gain value.
Yes, I agree. Oddly on the iPad, it looks like the notification but on the iPhone, it looks like above.
Dare I say it’s maybe a bug ![]()
Yes
Is this a dark mode too?
It is indeed
Where is this?
Also, any update on notifications?
Constantly get this issue when turning off notifications one by one.
I know it gets a lot of hate but Barclays is actually quite a decent premier offering:
- Free Apple TV, Cashback rewards and 5% savings + preferential rates on other products
- Their smart investor is one of the cheapest with 0.25% customer fee and only £6/share deal (or free when regular investing)
- They also have a lot of credit cards and their notifications are instant in my experience (only current account though)
- They also have pre-approved offers once you’ve had the account and paid in salary for a while which is nice to see how much you can borrow in one click
- They also have good mortgages, and other bank accounts but naturally can be a bit of a stricter lender by the sounds of it - however as someone that currently uses them for everything I am actually very happy. I too was using HSBC but changed a few months ago.
Odd how chat notifications come instantly and with vibrate, but transactions nowhere to be seen ![]()
