Amount in account
I think I am correct in thinking that if you have money in a bank account the govt will cover loss up to £85k for an individual if something dreadful was to happen to the bank. I currently have more than this with Lloyds TSB and was wondering if it was wise to transfer some of it to another bank. I have been told that as…

Lloyds TSB lost a customer this week
I opened a current account with Lloyds Bank in 1990. They handled my student account, forgave my overdrafts and were patient waiting for my first wages. I could visit any local branch or phone them and sort out any issues. Yesterday they blocked an online payment from my debit card on my current account. It was to a…

Bank payment sent to wrong account - what next?
Hi, I made a bank payment to someone, but it hadn't reached their account. On checking the details, it seems that I've had a stupid moment and put the wrong bank account number (2 digits round the wrong way). I'm on hold to my bank at the moment, but wondered if anyone on here knew if I can get that money back at all and…

halifax reward account
Sure this has already been asked - but cant find the thread - does the £1000 have to be new money? We have a joint account thinking of opening single ones - does anyone already have the 3 and can you just move from one to the other. I used to be able to do this with my old santander accounts

Faster payment arrived late - which bank is at fault?
Hi I requested a withdrawal from a West Brom savings account on sunday the 4th March to leave the account on the 5th to my linked account with Lloyds.

UK Bank Account in Jersey
I've been offered a job in Jersey to start within the next few months and was wondering what the situation might be with my UK Bank Account.

How quick do co-op pay out their £100 for joining bonus?
I can't stand their online banking system at all - it's worse than first direct! I'm only hanging on as i've not yet been paid out the £100. Yes, that's £100, not the £200 that had a long thread on it a while ago. I joined via some "infinity" i think it was link to do with Britannia & Stoke City FC. I've met their…

opening a basic bank account
Hope this helps anyone. My credit rating is very grim and sends most pc searches into meltdown. My own useless santander could not allow me to transfer my paypal to my account. I surfed for alternatives and found a 'bank account' without checks of any sort could do this and all for 12.50 a month. I came to Martin Lewis MSE…
