Using your card

ContactlessIf your card is contactless, there’s no need to enter your PIN.

Just tap your debit card where you see the contactless ‘wave’ symbol – you can use this in a shop up to the current contactless limit. You will need to use your card and PIN first to activate this feature and from time to time after that to help protect you from fraud.

Mobile paymentsYou may be able to use your smart phone to make payments with your debit card.

Helping you stay in control Turn on Mobile Banking app notifications and choose which notifications you want to see based on your account activity, including:

Smart Alerts – when money is paid in and out.

Purchase Alerts – each time you use your debit card.

Spending Summary – a weekly round up of what you have spent on your debit card.

Managing your PIN If you enter the wrong PIN three times, your card will

be locked and you won’t be able to use it. You can unlock it at any Lloyds Bank cash machine.

If you have forgotten your PIN you can find it in the Card Management section of the Mobile Banking app under View PIN, or request a new one in branch, online or by calling us.

You can also change your PIN at any Lloyds Bank cash machine and at most other UK cash machines.

Going abroadYour card is safe and secure to use abroad. Before you go:

Check what fees and charges apply, so you know what to expect when you spend using your debit card.

Make sure your card doesn’t expire when you’re away. Take another type of payment in case of emergency.

Save our number +44 173 334 7007 on your mobile in case you need to get in touch with us when you’re away.

It’s really important if you think your debit card is lost or stolen you let us know straightaway. Tell us by using Internet Banking, the Mobile Banking app or by giving us a call, and we’ll cancel it for you.

Keeping you safe

We can help protect you from fraud in a number of ways.

Freeze your cardYou can control how your debit card is used with the freeze card function in the Mobile Banking app. It’s helpful if you temporarily misplace your card, but know it’s not lost or stolen.

In the Mobile Banking app you can freeze and unfreeze:

Use at tills, payment terminals and cash machines outside the UK.

Online and remote use including Internet, in-app, telephone and mail order purchases.

Use at tills and payment terminals in the UK.

Gambling transactions.

Card freezes may not stop all transactions. When setting a freeze you should check what exclusions apply.

Lloyds Bank ClickSafe To give you extra security when shopping online, we use Lloyds Bank ClickSafe. This is also known as Visa Secure.

ClickSafe is designed to help protect you from fraud. It will either verify the payment, or ask for more details to confirm it’s you and not someone else using the card.

To find out more, visit lloydsbank.com/clicksafe

Fraud guaranteeOur fraud guarantee promises to refund your money if you are a victim of fraud with our Internet Banking. This applies as long as you use Internet Banking carefully, doing what you can to protect yourself.

What you can do to stay safe

When you’re managing your bank account it’s important to keep yourself safe and secure.

Use a different PIN and password for every account you have across different banks.

Do not share your PIN or password with anyone.

Make sure you are not overlooked when using a cash machine.

Don’t allow shop assistants or waiting staff to take your card out of view to make payments.

Take care to make sure websites you shop from are genuine.

Choose to activate notifications using our Mobile Banking app to keep up-to-date on your spending.

Keep an eye on your statement. If you have any concerns, let us know straight away.

Fraudsters can pretend to be from the bank, police or well-known companies. They do this to get access to your money. If you receive a call from an unexpected caller, never:

Set up a new payee. Move money to a ‘safe’ or ‘holding’

account. Download anything to your device.

Overdrafts

Arranged overdraftAn arranged overdraft is a form of borrowing that can act as a short term safety net. You can use it to borrow money up to an agreed limit through your bank account. You can apply for an arranged overdraft by contacting us, using Internet Banking or via the Mobile app. We will review your application. Not everyone will be accepted. The decision to offer an arranged overdraft and the rate you’re offered will depend on your personal situation. We can ask you to pay back the full amount of your arranged overdraft at any time.

We have a range of tools available to help you understand if your product offers an arranged overdraft facility, if you’re eligible and how much this kind of borrowing would cost you. Please visit: lloydsbank.com/overdrafts

Arranged overdrafts are not available with our Basic Account.

14

To avoid paying daily arranged overdraft charges, keep a close eye on your balance. Our free text alerts service will help you keep track of your balance and any overdraft usage.

15

Unarranged overdraft If you don’t have enough money in your account or enough available arranged overdraft to make a payment, we may either let you borrow through an unarranged overdraft or refuse to make the payment. We will not charge you for this. Missing payments and using an unarranged overdraft can damage your credit score. If you should find yourself in this situation, please get in touch with us, as we may be able to help you.

By your side when it matters We know sometimes life can change. Whether it’s something planned or unexpected, it may have an impact on your finances. If you’re planning a next step like starting a family, buying a home, or getting married, we have practical financial guidance to help you.

If the unexpected happens, we can help. We have specialist support services if you suffer a bereavement or are touched by cancer to help sort out the financial side of things – so you have one less thing on your mind.
