Lloyds TSB

This is a very small branch of Lloyds TSB in Canton, which is often mistaken for its larger sister bank down the road. When they answer the phone there they quickly double check that it’s really the Canton branch you want, because they have so any calls for the other one.
I often go into this bank, and have been with them for many, many years. This is that bank that I have always dealt with for any major changes to my accounts and life situations. Because it’s so small, it also seems intimate and friendly, especially when compared to many of the bigger banks in town.
A friend of mine recently came over from New Zealand and commented that British banks are big and serious and scary. Which is completely true! In New Zealand you get to sit down, have a chat and listen to ABBA. Fortunately, nice little banks like this one in Canton exist here too.
Having literally just come off the phone with them, they were exceptionally helpful and polite; providing a more personable service than we might be used to over the phone.
