Just had a letter from Lloyds about providing me with a Personal Relationship Manager - don't think it's my own private counsellor or agony aunt.

Has anyone else been offered this or even been using it?

    PS - according to their website:
    Get a dedicated Relationship Manager and additional services when you save or invest £100,000 or have £100,000 annual income

    I have neither of the above!

    Could it be that the bank think you are a good bet for future business with them?
    So it means you get a named person who you can contact rather than talk to a nobody.

    Thanks for the suggestion - but I'm semi-retired and not in any position to do 'future business'. As they removed Vantage from their accounts I'm down to one 'normal' account and a Club one, along with a credit card I hardly use. Last time I used it was to pay for a flight to Australia in April which was paid off immediately (just wanted Sect 75 protection).

    They may realise that they've made a mistake if I contact them 'to be introduced' to my PRM.

    Cheers

    I have a Relationship Manager at Santander. The only time I ever have any contact is when a new one wants to introduce himself, which is quite often.
    Tall, dark & handsome. Well two out of three ain't bad.

    I use to have one with Lloyds because in their eyes I was a special customer.
    Not sure why but she has long gone.

    Yes, my letter says something along the lines of 'extremely valued customer'. I've had a current account with them since January 1976 and have kept it on even though it's no longer my main one.

    I might be too cynical but I'd be checking my accounts extra carefully for charges after that notification.
