It's a shame they're not reviving the Speedbank brand. I was hoping they'd bring back the name Trustcard for their credit cards, but no luck there either. They probably think the old names are too 1980s for a new bank.0 -

I'm gonna have £6k to cream off from the vantage accounts, & I have other stuff in lower rate savings accounts...
Vantage is still goign to be 3% for £5k... you'll just be able to have 6 (or actually 9, including BOS) of them now0 -
You do know that everyone who currently works for TSB used to work for Lloyds.
They are the same people, working in the same offices, managing the same products, for the same customers.
The only thing that's different is the logo.
Do you really believe this? TSB hasn't done anything to indicate that it's going to be an old-fashioned style of bank. In the short term, at least, it'll operate in exactly the same way LTSB did.
Certainly no Mainwaring's to be seen!
It is different and run as a completely separate business now until flotation. Different lending criteria and products. It will be old fashioned in terms of it will only lend out what it has in deposits - no risky casino banking. Boring and safe and no government bail-out money.0 -

It sounds to me as though it's more of the building society model. Which can only be a good thing.
That doesn't mean you'll meet Mainwairing when you walk into a branch...0 -
What different products? A few name tweaks so far.It is different and run as a completely separate business now until flotation. Different lending criteria and products.
What different lending criteria? Any specifics?
At this point in time it is owned by LBG who's biggest shareholder is the government.Boring and safe and no government bail-out money.
I believe the rest of LBG now has a balanced deposit v loan ratio (excluding non-core assets that are being run down anyway).0 -
So 2 weeks later and still no letter from Lloyds on how to proceed with moving back to them.
I'm thinking if it might be less hassle if I were to setup a new current account online with Lloyds. The account already has my Cash ISA, if I made a new current account online, would they still require me to take ID to the nearest branch?0 -
If you already have an account with them I don't see why. Can you login to your cash ISA via internet banking and then apply online?0
-
Yes I have an online account with both. I eventually went through switching back to Lloyds, everything went through smoothly
