Lloyds banking app
I recently registered with Lloyds in order to get the switching incentive. Today I received my activation code by post which I have entered when prompted on the app. The next stage step on the app is to 'create memorable information' as an extra layer of security.

Nationwide Switch Experience
I recently switched two accounts from TSB to Nationwide and, unfortunately, did not qualify for any of the switch payments. The reason given was that I failed to meet the timeframe by a couple of days. I completed the documentation online and believed I had fulfilled the criteria, but obviously, I had not. Despite being a…

Random thought the other day - I've never had more than £2300 in my bank account
I had a fairly random thought the other day that I've never had more than £2,300 in my bank account ever. Some people would spend that on a foreign holiday without a second thought! I've worked all my life and am now in my early sixties. I'm now self-employed and earning now quite a bit less than when I was last working…

Mettle business bank account being closed
I have a business account with Mettle (an app-based "bank" run by NatWest). It's an e-money account but they are transitioning all holders to a full bank account which involves a change of sort code and account number (which is a pain). However they have told me they are closing my account at the end of the year and will…

However this month they have stopped paying interest on my savings spaces. I have applied for their 4% Easy Saver but been rejected. Like a lot of other customers I’ve been…

Bank fraud (over) protection?
I recently attempted to make a large transfer of money (£20k+) from my account (with Chase UK) to a close family friend whose account is also with Chase UK. As expected, this was flagged by their security systems as 'unusual' and I was told to phone them to verify, which I was happy to do. I passed all of the security…
