Lloyds launches first 300 'rule' from August 26 with huge benefit to customers
Lloyds launches first 300 'rule' from August 26 with huge benefit to customers Lloyds is the first major UK bank to launch a mobile app feature which allows cash to be paid in at more than 30,000 convenient locations nationwide using a barcode Lloyds Bank has unveiled a pioneering feature in UK banking, set to roll out from August 26, which will offer significant benefits to its customers. It comes after money guru Martin Lewis advised Lloyds, NatWest, and Nationwide customers that now is a good time to lock in the best rates before it's too late. The bank is the first major UK institution to introduce a mobile app feature that enables cash deposits at more than 30,000 convenient locations across the country using a barcode. The move could be significant for customers especially as nine bank branches are set to close this summer in Wales including two branches of Lloyds bank. From August 26 Lloyds Bank customers can generate a barcode within the Everyday section of their app. This barcode can then be scanned at any of the 30,000 PayPoint locations nationwide with 94% of these sites operating seven days a week. For our free daily briefing on the biggest issues facing the nation, sign up to the Wales Matters newsletter here Customers will have the ability to deposit up to £300 per day in notes and coins with a monthly limit of £600. The generated barcode will remain valid for two hours. To find their nearest PayPoint location, customers can use the Lloyds app or visit the PayPoint website. Customers can still utilise branches of Lloyds, Halifax, and Bank of Scotland for quick and easy cash deposits, reports BirminghamLive. Article continues below Additionally account holders can make use of Lloyds' cash in and out machines located throughout the country. Customers also have access to Banking Hubs, available nationwide, which offer counter services run by the Post Office. Furthermore the banking group has confirmed that customers can conduct their everyday banking, including cash deposits or withdrawals, at any of the 11,500 Post Offices across the UK. Gabby Collins, payments director at Lloyds, said: "We're always looking for smart ways to make banking more flexible and give customers more choice. "Our latest app feature now allows customers to pay in cash at their local PayPoint in just a few minutes – ideal if they are popping in for milk or dropping off a parcel. "With this new innovation no other UK bank offers as many ways to manage money as Lloyds." Article continues below

HMRC to tax pensions of workers who die before pension age
HMRC has now confirmed that death duties will still be charged even if the worker died before they could spend any of their retirement savings. Under current rules that would mean pensions would be taxed at up to 40% if they are part of an estate that exceeds the inheritance tax threshold - currently £325,000. But, as Martin Lewis explained in a video, posted on his Twitter feed, Inheritance Tax is paid by relatively few people: "This is a tax there are so many misunderstandings about. Most people, when they die, their estates will not pay inheritance tax. This is primarily a tax that only affects the most affluent households." Near retirement? There's a huge tax trap to avoid when withdrawing from a pension. This is my simple video analogy but always get 1-on-1 free guidance from PensionWise first. This is just a titbit, watch my full Pension special on: — Martin Lewis (@MartinSLewis) January 29, 2025 And Paul Barham, Tax Partner at Forvis Mazars says that many are using the allowances up until any rule changes to Inheritance Tax (IHT) occur: "Pensions can be a valuable tool when passing down wealth because they sit outside your estate for IHT purposes and as of April 2023, the lifetime allowance has been removed, so there is no limit on how much you can save over your lifetime. "If you have assets inside and out of a pension plan, you'll want to consider when to draw down from your pension and whether to also consider using non-pension assets to meet the full cost of everyday life." He adds: "Inheritance planning is notoriously complex. But there are advantages to starting earlier than you think is necessary. Seek the support of an adviser that you trust and one that you think will have your best interests at heart. While no one really wants to think about the need to pass on wealth, it can be of great benefit to your loved ones to get plans in place early." Recommended reading: Any changes - even if they only hit the wealthiest taxpayers - have not been popular with the Conservatives. Speaking to reporters on the Isle of Wight, leader Kemi Badenoch said: 'Unemployment is up, growth is down, inflation is up, cost of living is putting a real squeeze on people's pockets. 'And it's because of Rachel Reeves's budget last year. I'm very worried about what's going to come in the next budget. 'We're seeing tax rises, even taxes on pensions, as potential solutions'
