When will I receive the £200 offer?
We’ll pay it into your account within 14 working days of the switch and will appear as a cash credit.
As an existing Lloyds customer, do I qualify for the £200 offer?
Yes, as long as you open a new qualifying account named in the terms and conditions and you haven’t received a switching incentive from us, Bank of Scotland or Halifax since 01 January 2023. You must complete your switch using the Current Account Switch Service to switch a bank account held elsewhere with at least 3 active direct debits.
Can I change my existing account to one of the qualifying accounts and still receive the offer?

No, as long as you start your switch during the campaign offer period. The offer can be withdrawn without notice at any time.
What’s a direct debit?
It’s a way to pay bills automatically from your current account. You give a business permission to collect money from your account when a payment is due. Direct debit amounts can vary, but the business must tell you if the amount is changing. Direct debits are covered by the Direct Debit Guarantee.
What is an active direct debit?
An active direct debit is one that has been paid to the originator in the last 13 months. This can be any frequency of payment: weekly, monthly, quarterly or annual. If the direct debit has been recently set up and the first payment has not been taken, this is not an active direct debit.
What types of payments qualify as direct debits?
Your switch must include the transfer of at least 3 active direct debits from your old account. Direct debits set up after you’ve started your switch won’t count towards the offer. Standing orders and subscriptions are also excluded.
Can I switch a joint account?
Yes. To open a joint account online, both parties must log in to the mobile banking app or online banking. If either person has already received a switching offer from Lloyds, Halifax, or Bank of Scotland since 01 January 2023, you won’t be eligible for the offer.

-
Although many things are switched automatically, we won’t:
- transfer regular payments and subscriptions set up using your old debit card details. You’ll need to contact each service provider to update your payment information
- update digital wallets, such as Apple Pay or Google Pay. Simply remove your old debit card and add your new one when it arrives
- transfer any arranged overdraft you have with your old account provider. More about overdrafts
- transfer your statement or transaction history. You should be able to download or request copies from your old account provider.
-
Working day 1
We’ll contact your old account provider to start your switch.
Working day 2
We’ll confirm that your old account provider has received your request. We can then start moving your regular payments to your new Lloyds current account.
Working day 3 to 5
It’ll take a couple of days to transfer all your regular payments, and make sure everything is ready for your chosen switch date.
Working day 6
If you choose to pay off the overdrawn balance on your old account as part of your switch, make sure there’s enough money in your new Lloyds account to cover this payment on the seventh working day of your switch.
Working day 7
We’ll transfer your balance and close your old account. Your switch is complete.
After your switch
Any payments sent to your old account will be automatically redirected to your new Lloyds current account. We’ll also give the sender your new details for future payments.

The Current Account Switch Service offers a simple, reliable and stress-free way to switch your current account from one bank or building society to another. And it only takes 7 working days.
As your new current account provider, Lloyds offer the following guarantee:
- The service is free to use and you can choose and agree your switch date with us.
- All your payments move over – both the money coming in, like your salary, and the money going out, such as direct debits and standing orders. And we’ll take care of moving them all for you.
- If you have money in your old account, we will transfer it to your new account on your switch date.
- We will arrange for payments accidentally made to your old account to be automatically redirected to your new account. We will also contact the sender and give them your new account details.
- If there are any issues in making the switch, we will contact you before your switch date.
- If anything goes wrong with the switch, we’ll refund any interest and charges applied to your old or new account as soon as we’re told, whether that interest was paid or lost, and whether the charges happened because of this issue.
-
You might have given authorised third parties permission to access your account information, or to make online payments for you. These permissions won’t be transferred when you switch, so:
1. before your old account is closed, check whether you have any third-party permissions in place
2. if you want to restore these permissions once your Lloyds account is open, you’ll need to contact each third party and give them your new details.
To check whether third party permissions will be supported when you switch, you can contact us or read personal banking terms, conditions and charges guide (PDF, 315KB)

We’ll show you the maximum amount of arranged overdraft we can offer you before you complete your switch request form. If we’re unable to offer you the full amount, you’ll need to make arrangements with your bank to pay back the remaining amount.
If you’ve already got a current account with us you can log in to online banking or the mobile banking app to see if there’s an option to extend your arranged overdraft.

You can use the Cost Calculator to work out how much your anticipated arranged overdraft borrowing would cost over different periods of time.
