Bank account Turnover?
I have a club Lloyds account which charges £5 a month if turnover is less than £1500 a month. I have enough going in to waive the cost. But I'm curious as I do a lot of transferring money between my bank accounts. Would transferring money between my accounts also qualify as turnover or is it just pay coming in from work…

I would like to increase my online security when I do online banking by logging in using two-step authentication by means of Google Authenticator.
