About debit cards

What is a debit card?

Your debit card allows you to spend online and in shops for all sorts of goods and services, and takes the payment directly from your bank account. You’ll get one with most Lloyds Bank current accounts.

With a debit card, you can:

  • book or buy online, in shops, or over the phone
  • take out money from any Cashpoint® in the UK, or cash machines around the world
  • use your card worldwide, whenever you see the Visa symbol
  • make contactless payments with your debit card or even using Apple Pay or Google Pay up to the value of £100
  • Buy things online in just a few clicks with Visa Click to Pay
  • spend safely with Visa Chargeback protection against fraud or issues with goods bought from retailers.

    Problems with your card

  • Your debit card is the easy way to pay for most things, all over the UK.

    • Use for everyday shopping or big purchases
    • Shop in-store, online or over the phone
    • Pay bills easily, whether they’re one-off or regular
    • Withdraw cash at Lloyds Bank Cashpoint machines or other cash machines
    • Skip the cash machine queues – get up to £100 cashback at most supermarkets

    The amount you can withdraw at a Cashpoint or other cash machines is £800 per day if you hold a Lloyds Bank debit card.

  • Use your Visa debit card for shopping and cash withdrawals abroad, just as you do at home, wherever you see the Visa symbol. There are fees for using your debit card abroad. See full details on debit card charges. Silver, Gold, Platinum and Premier current accounts: We won't charge our debit card fees when you use your debit card for these accounts at home or abroad.

    We also won’t charge these fees in relation to other current accounts you hold, for your selected weeks if you have Travel Smart added to the account.

    Just a few reasons for using your debit card abroad:

    • Accepted all over the world
    • No need to carry large amounts of cash
    • Get an automatic record of the transaction
    • Protection against fraud for any unauthorised spending
    • Shop online in any currency (although fees apply)

    You can use your debit card to withdraw money at a cash machine or over the counter at any bank displaying the Visa symbol. You can withdraw money up to your limit in pounds as long as you have cleared available funds in your account. You’ll need to know your PIN and have some ID (a valid passport will do) when you withdraw money from a bank.
