Lloyds Vantage Accounts

asset2004

I've got 3 Vantage accounts, but only one DD on one account. Any idea how I can get 5 more DDs? :cool:

Well went into a Lloyds branch yesterday. I was ushered into a private office and without any fuss they converted all 5 current accounts for me.

Also it was nice to witness the fact they did not try any hard sell tactics on me by trying to get me to buy other products.

Could you please clarify your situation?

'Converted' 5 regular accounts to Vantage

or

'Converted' 5 (already) Vantage to the new 4% Vantage and confirmed

or

'Converted' 5 Vantage, 3 to the new 4% and 2 to 3%

If you have a PayPal account you could set up bank funding on there for each of your vantage accounts which would also set up a direct debit leaving you only needing to find one more direct debit for each account

Can you tell me more about how this works please?

Answered in the long thread on the savings board, along with several other options for easy to set up DDs for this offer.

Log in to Paypal.

Click on Profile / My Money

In the bank accounts section click on Update.

Click on Add.

Then enter details of Lloyds account and follow carefully the instructions to confirm the new direct debit. This involves a phone call, Paypal making small payments to your Lloyds account and you confirming the amount of these payments.

Nice to see LTSB looking out for its customers again - This is the rate Vantage was originally introduced at.

They didn't ask us when they ditched the upper tier, they changed it automatically.

Now they need us to re-apply, even when our accounts remain 'vantage'. What advantage, vantage !!!

Insert a few sarcastic smilies somewhere in this post ....

They don't have to ask you. Rates went down because of the BoE base rate, it happened everywhere. Markets change, that's life.
They don't need you to reapply, just make a quick phone call, hardly a big deal is it.

Actually the vantage rate went down while the base rate was already stuck at 0.5% and had been for a while.
