MSE News: Lloyds and TSB split today: What does it mean for you?

I'll wait for a week or so with my applications - surely they'll come up with a switching offer?

No, I am saying I will wait for a bit since I think they should come up with a switching offer. That new switcher service is supposed to be available from next week, and TSB would surely want lots more "local" people to use them, so an offer next week would be a superb way for them to get lots of new customers? I might be wrong, but don't want to miss out on switcher offers.

If there's no TSB offer next week, I'll just keep my spare accounts for another day, and apply for my 3 Enhances then.

It means no internet banking for the last 2 days and a huge mobile phone bill trying to get through to them!!

The depends on whether they want to attract lots of new customers yet ... they may just want things to settle down a little first, make sure that branches, internet and telephone banking are all working correctly with the customers they have. Make sure the head office functions can support their existing network.

What it means to me is that I can log in to both Lloyds and TSB using the same username/password combo. Neither works very well - TSB says service unavailable, Lloyds similar - but both know it's me because they show my name in the top right corner and I can see my address and other details. Is this how it's supposed to be?

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???

They are now Lloyds Group shares, whatever it says on the certificates.
