Instructions on how to use it are there in BSL. The service is open Monday to Friday 8am–8pm and 8am-1pm Saturday. You can use SignVideo from your PC, tablet or mobile phone.

Appointments

Appointments

If you have an appointment with us, we can make it easier for you:

  • We can arrange for an interpreter to come along to your appointment, just ask when you book. This could be British Sign Language (BSL), Lip Speaking or Deaf & Blind manual interpreting. Please give us as much notice as you can, and we’ll then confirm the appointment. If you prefer to bring your own professional interpreter, we will repay your costs up to £200 for each appointment. You can ask at the branch about how to get your money back.
  • We can arrange longer appointment times for you. We'll take the time to explain things and make sure you understand.
  • You can have your appointment in a private and quiet meeting room.
  • If you have a support worker, they are welcome to come to your appointment with you. 
  • You can take paperwork home to read and decide in your own time. You can then come back to complete what you wanted to do.
  • Some appointments can also be done from your home by video call with a British Sign Language (BSL) interpreter present.

Post Office® banking

Post Office® banking

You can use the Post Office® to deposit and withdraw cash, just as you would at any Lloyds Bank branch. You can also check basic account information, such as your balance.

Sunflower Lanyard

We know that not all disabilities and long-term health conditions are visible. That's why we use the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Lanyard scheme in all of our branches. If you're wearing one, we'll know that you might need a little more help.

You can now let us know which things would make banking that bit easier for you. We’ll then put the changes in place, where we can – and you won’t need to tell us again.
