How do I decide which account is for me?
Firstly, you need to decide what you’re looking for in a savings account. How often are you planning to draw out money? How much money can you afford to save each month?
You need to work out what you need before comparing the different offers available for certain types of savings accounts. Once you have done that, it’s useful to look at:
Interest rates
Fees (If there are any.)
Access to cash (If you need quick access, for instance.)
Rewards and loyalty schemes (If you’re into add-ons or switching bonuses.)
How to open a Lloyds savings account
With all Lloyds’ savings accounts you must be 16 or older.
You must also be a resident in the UK for tax purposes.
Most of the accounts discussed can be opened at a branch, online or over the phone.
With the exception of the Fixed Bond and the Junior savers.
Does Lloyds offer online or mobile banking?
Yes, Lloyds offers online and mobile banking services, so you can bank with ease wherever you are. Well, at least somewhere with Internet connection.
What are the pros and cons of banking with Lloyds?
Pros
Online banking. With most of Lloyds’ savers you can access your account online. Lloyds offers a mobile app too.
Flexibility. Lloyds offers several savings account options, so there’s bound to be one suited to your needs.
Cons
Better rates elsewhere? While Lloyds does offer competitive interest rates you can get better elsewhere. They’re certainly not market leading.
