11.10 Managed to get as far as logging in. Checked transactions but the attempt to view my DDs caused me to be logged out. So they are getting functionality back a bit at a time still. Wait another 30 mins. [Note how slowed down it has become]

I'd be interested to know how they decided which accounts to switch. In my house (girlfriend, her daughter and myself) all hold/held LloydsTSB accounts but they've decided that my girlfriend and her daughter will be TSB and I will stay Lloyds...

I can only assume it's because I'm potentially more lucrative to Lloyds as I've had loans and got a credit card with them in addition to current and savings accounts whereas the ladies in my household only hold current and savings accounts...

It means buggar all for me.

However it does also mean floods of people on here moaning or panicking because they can't log on to their account every half hour..or open a new account because they have to do it right now, at this very instant, can't possibly have anything else better to do.........:coffee:

I think you assume wrongly. It's decided on where the accounts are held. If it's a branch that has become TSB the accounts are switched to TSB.

My mum had an original account with the "old" TSB before Lloyds took it over and had TSB shares. These were transferred to LloydsTSB shares. What happens now to them???

Absolutely nothing at all. Still with Lloyds. No doubt, in time, they will remove the TSB bit from their name?

It will happen on 23rd of September apparently.

From what I've read on this forum they stay the same, LBG shares.

Yeah I'm surprised they haven't updated their website yet. No reason why they couldn't have at least changed the logo and wording everywhere and enabled it all once the split happened.

All the Lloyds TSB branches I've ever used are staying as Lloyds and my accounts are all still there so no changes for me. I wonder what would've happened if my local branch stayed as Lloyds and my original branch (and thus the corresponding sort code used on all of my accounts) switched to TSB, for example?

The rebrand of lloyds happens on the 23 September apparently.

I have been in a lloyds branch today and all the leaflets was lloyds bank branded.
