Complaints

We’re committed to providing products and services of the very highest standards. If you feel that we haven't lived up to your expectations in any way, we'd like to know so we can put things right for you.

If you have a complaint make sure your usual contact at the bank knows about it and tell them how you think it could be resolved. We'll usually respond to you within five business days.

Alternatively, you can:

  • call our advisors on 0345 072 5555. We are available from 7am to 8pm Monday to Friday and 9am to 2pm on Saturday (closed on all UK public and bank holidays). To call us from outside the UK dial +441733 347 338 or from textphone 0345 601 6909
  • raise your complaint with customer services – write to: The Manager, Lloyds Bank, Customer Services, Correspondence Centre, BX1 1LT.

We'll write to you within five working days to tell you what we've done to resolve the problem, or acknowledge your complaint and let you know when you can expect a full response. We'll also let you know the name and contact details of the person or team dealing with your case.

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) gives us a maximum number of days to issue a final response;

  • If your complaint relates to payment services or e-money (e.g. Direct Debit, Online Transaction) we aim to issue a final response within 15 business days after receiving your complaint. Should something outside of our control cause a delay, the FCA gives us a maximum of 35 business days.
  • For all other types of complaint the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) gives us eight weeks to issue a final response but we will aim to get your complaint resolved well before this deadline.

If we haven't issued our response within eight weeks from the date you first raised your complaint, or if you're dissatisfied with our response, you can ask the Financial Ombudsman Service for an independent review. The Financial Ombudsman Service will only consider your complaint once you've tried to resolve it with us, so please take up your concerns with us first and we'll do all we can to help.

Contact details:

  • Call 0800 023 4567, which is normally free for people ringing from a "fixed line" phone – but charges may apply if you call from a mobile phone.
  • Call 0300 123 9123, charged at the same rate as 01 or 02 numbers on mobile phone tariffs.
