HSBC BRANCH CLOSURES
We have seen that the branch our account has been with for over 50 years is closing in July. Payment details, direct debits, cheques, credit cards etc all revolve around the acct number and sort code for the branch that's closing. Anyone know if HSBC will automatically transfer our account to another branch and issue us…

Lloyds Group Closing My Bank Accounts
I realise it's a familiar tale on here but it's happening to me so thought I may as well log my example...

When I got it I went to…

Paid USD, whilst living in the UK.
Hi all, I found a thread on this conversation, but it was a couple of years old - so wanted to know if there is any newer information. I am in the process of discussing a contract with a US firm. I will be employed as a consultant and paid in USD, but will be based in the UK 100% of the time. What are my options in regard…

Switching to Nationwide
Hello, I’m just wondering if anyone uses Nationwide as their main current account provider and what they think of them?

FP from Lloyds to Co-op still hasn't arrived after 8 hours
I know they aren't guaranteed to arrive until the following working day, but I've made hundreds of faster payments over the years (between my own accounts) and I'm pretty sure they've all arrived within the hour. This one went off at noon today, and I know the destination was correct because Lloyds is one of the few banks…

Current account with good customer service and MFA
Hello! I'm on the look for a new current account. My classic Lloyds has served me well for many years, but has recently started an incredibly infuriating habit of declining purchases on my debit card and credit card.

No ID, need bank account!
A friend of mine is in a very difficult situation which I am worried could soon make her very vulnerable. She must be 30 now or thereabouts and she has never been able to get a bank account. She does not know the details of her mother nor can find them out which has prevented her from getting a passport. She does not have…

RBS warning - If you register for the app you cannot pay for anything online without it
My smart phone is broken. I took the sim card out and put it into a dumb phone. I went online to buy a new phone, suddenly it is saying I need to confirm the payment in the app. But the app is on the broken phone so it is impossible to do this. I spoke to RBS who said there is no other way to confirm payments once you…
