If you received a switching offer since April 2020 for switching to any Lloyds, Bank of Scotland or Halifax Bank account, you won't be eligible again. 

Offer ends 01 April 2025. Terms & conditions apply.

How it works

Step 1

Open a current account
  • We’ll ask if you want to switch when you apply (as part of your application you will be asked if you want to switch before you choose your new account, so have your existing account details to hand)
  • You’ll need the details for the account you want to switch to us (including your card number)
  • Choose your switch date

Step 2

Sit back while we switch
  • It takes 7 working days
  • We’ll let you know when it’s done – in the meantime, you can still use your old account
  • Your switch is covered by the switch guarantee

Step 3

On your switch date, we’ll:

  • Transfer your balance and close your old account
  • Move over all incoming payments (like your salary) and outgoing payments (like direct debits and standing orders)
  • Redirect payments made to your old account and give the payor your new details
  • We’ll transfer:

    • your account balance
    • incoming payments like your salary, pension or benefits
    • outgoing payments like your utility bills.

    Plus, we’ll:

    • close your old account when the switch is complete
    • redirect payments to your new account and contact the sender with your new account details
    • move over your payee list so you don’t need to set it up again.

    We won’t transfer:

    • regular bills and Subscriptions made on your old debit card like Disney+ or other streaming services - you’ll need to give the provider your new card details
    • mobile payments like Apple Pay and Google Pay - you’ll need to add your new debit card to your digital wallet
    • any arranged overdraft you have with your old provider - find out more about overdrafts and switching
    • your statement or transaction history - we suggest you download or request copies from your old provider.

The benefits of switching to Lloyds

General benefits of the Current Account Switching Service

Switch on your terms

With the Current Account Switch Service (CASS) you can choose a switch date to suit you. Just make sure you allow a minimum of seven working days. 

Simple and stress-free

The whole process will be handled by us. If you have any questions or concerns, just ask.

Backed by a guarantee

In the unlikely event that something goes wrong with your switch, the new provider will refund any interest or charges incurred on your old or new account as a result.

Payments and transactions

We will transfer any existing balance and payment arrangements for you – including those going out (for example direct debits and standing orders), those coming in (for example, your salary) and payees you already have set up.

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.

Benefits of switching to a Club account

How the switching process works

  • Working day 1
    The switch begins. We make contact with your old bank to arrange the switch.

    Working day 2
    We’ll let you know that your old bank has received your request, and then we can start transferring your payment arrangements across to your new Lloyds Bank account.

    Working day 3-5
    It’ll take a couple of days to switch over your payment arrangements, and make sure your Lloyds Bank account is ready to go for the switch date.

    Working day 6
    If you’re clearing a debit balance at your old account, you’ll need to make sure there are enough funds in your Lloyds Bank account to cover this transfer.

    Working day 7
    Congratulations your switch is complete! Your balance is transferred and your old bank account is closed.

    After your switch
    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.

  • We have designed the Current Account Switch Service to let you switch your current account from one bank or building society to another in a simple, reliable and stress-free way. It will only take seven working days. As your new current-account provider we offer the following guarantee.

    • The service is free to use and you can choose and agree your switch date with us.
    • We will take care of moving all your payments going out (for example, your Direct Debits and standing orders) and those coming in (for example, your salary).
    • 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, as soon as we are told, we will refund any interest (paid or lost) and charges made on either your old or new current accounts as a result of this failure.
  • If you have given permissions to Third Party Providers to make payments on your behalf, or to access your financial data, access to these services won’t be transferred automatically to your new account as part of the Current Account Switch Service.

    1. Before you close your old account, check whether you have any Third Party Provider permissions set up and if so, who with.
    2. Once your new account is open you can give your permission to the Third Party Provider to access your new account by providing them with your new account details. You will need to contact the Third Party Provider directly yourself to set this up.
    3. If you are unsure as to whether your New Bank will support the Third Party Provider permissions on your account, you will need to discuss this ahead of your switch with your New Provider who will be able to advise you of this. Please check your new provider’s terms and conditions for more information about Third Party Providers.

  • When will I receive the £175 offer?

    We’ll pay it into your account within 10 working days of the switch and will appear as a cash credit.

    As an existing Lloyds customer, do I qualify for the £175 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 April 2020. 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, you must open a new qualifying account.

    To qualify for the offer, do I need to complete the switch at the time of opening my new bank account?

    No, as long as you start your switch by the 01 April 2025, you can complete your switch through online Banking or on our mobile app.

    As part of your application you will be asked if you want to switch before you choose your new account, so have your existing account details to hand.

    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 has to 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. Otherwise you can open an account in one person’s name and book an appointment with your local branch to add the other person. If either person has already received a switching offer since April 2020 from Lloyds, Halifax or Bank of Scotland, you won’t be eligible for the offer.

    • Have applied, and been approved for an arranged overdraft on your new Lloyds Bank account.

    How do you apply for an arranged overdraft?

    What happens if I am overdrawn and want to switch?

    We will show you the maximum amount of arranged overdraft we can offer you before you complete your switch request form, if we are unable to offer you the full amount you will 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 onto Internet or Mobile Banking and see if there is an option to extend your arranged overdraft.
