    The mistake everyone is making is attempting to inject some form of sense and reason to Lloyds Bank's decisions. Like Apple putting a measly 1.2 MP front camera on the SE, the decisions of Lloyds Bank do not make sense. I suspect that they do it just to confuse everyone.

    In my own experience they gave me a credit card with £1,200 limit and a Classic current account with contactless debit card but refused a £300 planned overdraft facility. At that point I switched to Natwest.

    The moral of the story is if you don't like them vacate the premises because you aint gonna get no joy!

    It's strange sometimes. I've got Contactless from Capital One, NatWest, Tesco, Nationwide, Halifax (not that I want it.) Yet TSB wouldn't give me it. Typical.
