Lloyds Tells App Users to Rely on 'Available Balance' After Request for Pending Totals

The bank acknowledges the idea could aid receipt matching, with no timeline or commitment.

Overview

  • A customer asked for explicit 'Pending balance' and 'Confirmed balance' totals in the credit card summary to track new transactions.
  • Lloyds replied that card payments typically appear as pending and advised customers to treat the available balance as the most up-to-date figure.
  • The customer clarified the goal was reconciling transactions against receipts and personal records rather than understanding current versus available balances.
  • The bank thanked the customer and said a pending total could make matching and tracking transactions easier.
  • Lloyds has not confirmed any changes to the app, which serves about 10 million users and includes transfers, payments, cheque deposits, statement access, and card management features.
