    The reason I made 2 payments is because it was for 2 different Life Insurance policies, so had to be paid with individual policy numbers, to the same account and sort code. 


    Is how the company requested payment to be made?

    Logical that two payments be made as different policy numbers for the reference that the payments are credited to.

    Hi @hammers1970

    We're trying to help you, but we need to understand:
    • Who you are paying (is a big insurance company or a smaller broker for example)
    • How they communicated the bank details to you (e-mail?  letter?)
    • Did you get Confirmation of Payee (COP) when you set up the initial transfer?
    • How (else) did you check the details were correct?
    If you can answer these we can eliminate some of the possible explanations of what may have gone wrong.

  • Hi there, I'm curious to hear if this ever got resolved. I have transferred some money from a Lloyds business account to an Equals money (prepaid cards ) account). Used same details as I have done many times before and it's not arrived. Has been over a week now and neither bank can find it - Lloyds say it has left, Equals say it hasn't arrived. It's been 8 days and both sides remain 'investigating'. Lloyds are telling me to wait 5 days for a letter...

    Sounds like bad administration by the insurance company.

    Two cases aren't similar. Primary route for you would remain continuing to chase Lloyds to find it - tracing forward is more effective than trying to trace anything backwards - unclear why they'd need to send you a letter though!
