 Lloyds Banking Group has unveiled new features within its mobile banking apps to help customers manage their finances.

Stephen Noakes, Retail Transformation Director, Lloyds Banking Group, said: “We are constantly developing new ways to make mobile banking simple and convenient for our customers. The latest features make it easier to search statements, as well as offering new ways to automatically keep track of payments with friends and family.”
