Someone please remind me why I bank with Lloyds... king shower of shyte...

Need to make a payment from my Business account... go online, log in... have to use one of those stupid card readers... 'dangle berries', need pin number... never used pin before, go and find letter with said number... type it in... wrong pin... now locked... ring Phonebank... Transfering you to an adviser... we're terribly sorry but our office hours are 0700 to 2000... FFS I'm trying to run a 24 hour business

So I can't make the payment, can't use my card and can't even get through to someone to yell at them... SLady bitshorpes

And the real kicker, since some stupid arse let a graduate implement a bright idea last week, I now need to use my pin number to pay money in

I've been with NatWest all my working life. Now semi retired. Brilliant bank that still feels like a bank and not a supermarket.
Now use their App on my phone, see the statements of all accounts and can make a money transfer between accounts in less than a minute.
Can also send a code to somebody who can then collect cash from a cash machine or transfer to debit card. Can do even more online. Have 24hr helpline.
Would suggest reading up for what they have to offer.

Ah but if you knew the kinds of things that I (and I imagine Guffers) know about online banking exploits, you'd be glad of the two factor auth (the keypad jobber).

I still can't believe all banks don't use them here (Lloyds included as it's only for business banking in their case)..

*cough*iirc....*cough**cough* you *cough* said that last time*cough**cough* 

First direct account swap was seamless last time. But most banks offer all that these days. Along with all the stuff mentioned re Nat west. As I'm sure you know.

Forget what you here in the media. Check the latest customer satisfaction stats. Go from there. Imo.

Tell me about it, I make small payments abroad every month to my wife's family, HSBC decided over after many-many months of this, over Xmas and New-Year that it was a suspicious transfer, so locked my DD card, so important payments of behalf of my clients like server payments bounced, I was not a happy bunny!!!

I've had endless troubles with Barclays (Personal), HSBC (Business) and First Direct (Personal). All of them completely inept at dealing with anything.

Natwest (Personal) have been the only ones who have been virtually trouble free for me.

If that happened to me, I would take my overdraught elsewhere. Harrumph.....
