I don`t like change and have been putting off the full transfer to Lloyds but I bit the bullet today

I have been using my new Lloyds visa card for a few weeks, amazon, paypal etc and it has been very smooth

I finally agreed to full transfer online today and it took less than a minute. The only difference is the actual screen colour

Just saying, in case, like me you are putting it off. I did put a tick in the no box for a mobile app

I've been using the Lloyd's app for a week now and all seems fine
We haven't received new cards, though.

I’ve been with them all since the system changed in 2013.
I remember changing in the old system 😩

My message tells me that everything remains the same and I won’t get a new card! I’ve not bitten the bullet yet!

Thanks though to you all for the reassurance flowers

I have been with Lloyds since they combined with TSB who I had been with since Adam was a lad.
Still the same branch building although sadly that has now closed but absolutely no problems with them at all.

aren't they both the same ban now?

I've been with LLoyds for years (mortgage is with Halifax) and they are RED HOT on fraud

Halifax and Bank of Scotland are part of the Lloyds Group although they are not jettisoning the Halifax name. TSB was once with Lloyds but is no longer.

Now jettisoning

We are moving our money elsewhere. We have been Lloyds customers in the past and have no intention of returning to them.

I’ve just taken out a Lloyds credit card. No fee to pay and provided you pay off your bill every month you earn 1% on all payments for the first year. I think it’s a good deal. So far using the card has been smooth.

I ve been with Lloyds since 1976, never ever had a problem and they were very helpful when I had a fraud problem on my credit card recently. I caught it quickly as I check my account online most weeks, so the fraudsters were at the stage of just a little bit out before they went for the biggy. The little bit was paid back by Lloyds straight away.

Pleased to know that the changeover should be simple.

We changed from Lloyds some years ago due to poor service and opened current accounts with Halifax where we had a savings account. Then Lloyds/Bank of Scotland took over the Halifax and now we're having to go back to Lloyds. To be honest, I don't want to but the options are limited with so many bank branches closing.

One of those cases of being forced to do something you don't want to.

Ditto.
They may lose a few customers.

Been with Lloyd all my married life plus had accounts at the Halifax. Never had a problem with either, I was aware they have been the same Banking group for several years.

In fact Halifax pinged up a fraudulent attempted on my cash Card, I was impressed and grateful they recognised as it was significantly out of the norm.
