I can't see there being any interest at all in this account.

Might get an account - just as insurance in case I become involved in an IS type hostage situation.
A quick flash of my Islamic Visa to the terrorists and I will be safely on my way. |

Was talking with one of my friends from the City and he says there is a huge market for financial products that sit comfortably with Shariah law.

LLoyds account is probably an MI5 sting operation.

I had to double-check I hadn't been mis-sold an Islamic account as I haven't had any effing interest in mine for years.

I an grateful to have this brought to my attention.
I have considerable funds both deposited and invested with Lloyds. If the original post proves to be true, I'll be transferring the lot and making my reasons clear in a letter to Senor Osorio. A small and futile gesture in the grand scheme of things, perhaps, but for a British bank to offer such an account is a disgrace. |

Incredible.
I'll do a little more research just to be assured I'm not falling for some sort of spoof, of course. |

One could hardly make that welcome pack up, especially the page entitled Are you ready for your next trip abroad! It appears to be genuine but, as I mentioned, a little more research would probably be wise.
