Selling Lloyds Banking Group Shares

If you hold Lloyds Banking shares in a Shareholder Account, you can sell them real-time during market hours through our automated telephone service by calling us on 08705 711 117. You will need to have your folio number to hand which you can find on your Shareholder Account Statement.

When requested, you must key in your folio number ignoring any leading "I" but inputting any "1"s. For example, enter "10012345678" as "0012345678".  If you don't have a touchtone phone or you would prefer to speak to someone, you can hold the line and you will be transferred to a Dealing Assistant who will be able to help you.
