Your Rights
What the law requires Lloyds Bank to do
Since October 2024, the Payment Systems Regulator (PSR) requires banks to reimburse victims of authorised push payment (APP) fraud in most cases. This mandatory reimbursement scheme means Lloyds Bank has specific legal obligations when you report fraud on your account.
Mandatory reimbursement
Under PSR rules, banks must reimburse eligible APP fraud victims up to £85,000 per claim.
Response deadlines
Banks must respond within 5 business days, with a maximum extension to 35 days for complex investigations.
Ombudsman escalation
If the bank refuses, you can escalate to the Financial Ombudsman Service, which can award up to £430,000.
Vulnerability protections
Additional protections apply if you are considered vulnerable, including exemptions from certain claim limitations.

Why Use Refund Club
Why professional representation matters for Lloyds Bank claims
- Banks reject a significant proportion of fraud claims on first submission — professional complaints citing specific regulations are harder to dismiss

- If Lloyds Bank refuses your claim, we handle the full Financial Ombudsman escalation process
- You don't need to deal with Lloyds Bank directly — we manage all communication on your behalf
Pursuing a claim yourself is always an option — the Financial Ombudsman Service is free to use directly. We provide professional legal support for those who prefer expert representation.

Fraud claims against Lloyds Bank
Under PSR rules, banks must respond within 5 business days (or up to 35 days if additional investigation is needed). If we escalate to the Financial Ombudsman, that process typically takes 6–12 months. Timelines vary depending on the complexity of each case.
A bank rejection is not necessarily the final word. We review the bank’s reasoning, identify potential weaknesses in their decision, and where appropriate escalate to the Financial Ombudsman for an independent review.
We operate on a no-win, no-fee basis under a Damages-Based Agreement. If your claim is unsuccessful, you pay nothing. If we recover funds for you, our fee is a percentage of the amount recovered. The exact percentage is clearly explained before you sign anything, as required by SRA regulations.
The PSR mandatory reimbursement scheme applies to payments made within 13 months. For older cases, the Financial Ombudsman can consider complaints up to 6 years from the event, or 3 years from when you became aware. We can assess your eligibility during the free initial review.
