No Contactless Card on Lloyds Bank Basic Account

Charleslima

Lloyds Bank is a disgrace anyway, it's penalising the basic account holders who may not be eligible for an account for reasons such as a former partner screwing their credit rating. Contactless technology is now a part of every day life and they CAN be made online only but Lloyds just don't want to bother, it'll be their own downfall though when basic account holders go elsewhere - then when their financial situation improves, they will be at another bank and pretty much saying "F you" when Lloyds are begging for them to come back

I have a Lloyds Basic Bank Account, ran it impeccably for 3 years and still not eligible for an upgrade so no contactless card and no Apple Pay, my friends all laugh at me when I pull my basic looking plain green debit card out with no contactless symbol.

They all say it's a babies account with having no contactless, so think I might leave Lloyds and go to nationwide if their basic account has contactless - because I am now being bullied because of it, next thing I'll no doubt have my head flushed down the toilet at the pub by some Club Lloyds customer who does have contactless

I think you should be concentrating on finding less-puerile friends, rather than worrying about bank cards.

Looks like the 'no' camp is pulling ahead despite the rigged electoral system. Power to the people!:)

I'd like to think Lloyds will jump on the bandwagon and offer contactless for basic account holders soon, same for the basic account at Halifax as they too are owned by LBG.

Overenthusiastic voters should take note that the result of this poll is not legally enforceable. Time spent signing up new accounts to try to swing it the other way could be better spent on other things.

Not a real poll without a No option, I vote no as it's not the end of the world if you don't have contactless.

Get a credit card with contactless, open up another account elsewhere that offers contactless.

Uh oh - this reminds me. I haven't been given one either and I'm on a Santander Debit card... not sure if I'm eligible or now. I'll give them a call.
