Notice Accounts
Grow your savings with the flexibility to suit your business needs.
What is a Notice Account?
A Notice Account allows you to grow your savings with terms to suit your business needs. There are two types of Notice Account, one where you have to give 32 days notice to withdraw your money and the other 95 days notice.
You’ll need to deposit £10,000 or more. If you do withdraw money, it must be for at least £10,000. And the account balance must be £10,000 or more. There is no fixed term and more money can be paid into the account.

Interest rates stated above are available as at 20/12/2024 and expire on 06/02/2025 but may be subject to change.
The interest rate is set and managed by Lloyds Bank. Interest is calculated and paid to your account daily (unless otherwise agreed).
1AER – The AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and is the notional rate, which illustrates the gross rate as if paid and compounded on an annual basis. As every advert for a savings product will contain an AER, you’ll be able to compare more easily what return you can expect from your savings over time.
2Gross Rate – Gross rate means that no tax will be automatically deducted from interest on your behalf. You are responsible for paying any tax due to HM Revenue and Customs.

The interest rate on your Notice Account is a managed rate set by Lloyds Bank. The rate is variable and subject to change. The rate is not directly linked to Bank Rate. However, changes in Bank Rate as well as other market and economic conditions may affect whether the rate on your Notice Account increases or decreases. If a rate change is to your disadvantage, Lloyds Bank will provide 14 days’ notice before it comes into effect.
You can provide Notice to close the account if you are unhappy with the new rate (either 32 days or 95 days depending on the type of Notice Account).
