    I suppose that will buy you a paper at the end of the month.
    At Nationwide (FlexDirect) I get over £10 in interest which can buy several newspapers !

    I get around £9.80 a month in interest, which isn't really anything to be sniffed at considering it's free money. Coupled with the £10 per month I get from Halifax and the nominal interest of my Lloyds Vantage I'm not doing bad for a student interest wise :beer:
  • Just out of curiosity and being a Lloyds customer I typed in £1000 into their calculator online and for over a 12 month period it came back at 17.8 percent. However for an amount of over £10k the system quoted me 5.4 percent.

    The last time I enquired my IS was 1A.


    Interesting, I shall have to ask Lloyd's what my score is because 29.9% over 12 months on £1,000 is just ridiculous. I got immediately accepted for my Amex gold charge yet can't get a small loan nor OD with Lloyd's.

    I'd say the same too though I also have the Santander 123 rather than Halifax Reward!

    I think Lloyds have finally dropped my CPD markers!

    It's letting me upgrade to a Platinum account and allowing me to open a 2nd account on internet banking, whereas before it said no.

    They've also sent me a chequebook, which is handy.

    Bit wasted now as I moved my main banking back to Nationwide about 2 years ago when I'd been suffering years of CPD markers on everything! (Only use account now to pay money in via the ATM then transfer to my NWide account).

    Also, when did they stop selling Gold and Premier accounts?!?
    I spent 25 years in the mobile industry, from 1994 to 2019. Worked for indies as well as the big networks, in their stores also in contact centres. I also hold a degree in telecoms engineering so I like to think I know what I’m talking about 😂

    There was no CPD marker applied to your account. They carry out a monthly assessment which has determined you're now eligible for whatever products they are now able to offer you.

    This isn't correct. That article only refers to a stop in the opening of added value accounts in branch.

    The Gold and Premier added value accounts were only recently withdrawn (to new customers) to simplify the product range.
  • There was no CPD marker applied to your account. They carry out a monthly assessment which has determined you're now eligible for whatever products they are now able to offer you.

    And after their monthly assessment they decided to place a CPD on Simax account in which CPD was in big letters for the banks advisor to see.

    And to current customers.

    No, it wasn't placed at all - that isn't how it works. Any of the branch staff (not just advisors) get to see the reason (which is all that "Credit Policy Decline" is - just a reason) for not being able to offer a customer credit.

    Once again, how exactly do you know how it works?

    Yeah. I didn't word that correctly. I meant that existing Gold and Premier customers get to keep these types of account.

    When you have 5 minutes I'd like you to do me a favour and walk in to your local Lloyds and ask them "are CPD markers placed on customers accounts who they see as a higher risk"
