Avoiding overdraft interest charges
If your account goes over its limit you have until 2.30pm (UK time) to pay in money to ensure the payment goes out, but you have until midnight to avoid any interest.
- If you pay in enough to clear your overdraft you will not pay any interest.
The money needs to be immediately available to use, so you could transfer money from another personal account you have with us via Internet Banking or Telephone Banking or pay in cash over the counter in branch.
We will not charge you any other fees for an Arranged Overdraft but you will normally be charged interest on the amount borrowed.
Returned item
Where you do not have enough available money to make a payment and we do not agree to give you or extend an Unplanned Overdraft, you will not be able to make that payment.
We will write to tell you we have declined your request. We will not charge you a fee for this.

A debit card is a payment card that allows you to make transactions online and in shops for any number of goods and services, and takes payment directly from your bank account. Millions of people use debit cards, and you get one with most Lloyds Bank International 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 Islands, or cash machines around the world
- use your card worldwide, whenever you see the Visa symbol
- call us 24 hours a day if you have a problem with your Lloyds Bank International debit card.
-
Many debit cards are now contactless, which makes paying for everyday things even easier.
Contactless cards allow you to pay for goods up to £100 without needing to enter your PIN. Many shops, restaurants, and businesses have contactless reader devices which make transactions faster and smoother. Millions of people use contactless debit cards.
Most contactless payments will appear in the main section of your online statement within a few days. However, some transactions may show first in the ‘View pending transactions’ section.
Please note: Not all Contactless Card transactions appear immediately on your Online & Mobile Banking statements. If you can’t see a transaction please wait a few days for it to be added to your statement.
-
Contactless is a way of making paying for things swifter and simpler. If you have a contactless card and are paying for something in a shop, restaurant, or business that has a contactless reader, all you need to do is hold your contactless card over the reader to pay. If the price is under the threshold which is currently £100, you don’t need to even enter your PIN.
The first time you use your contactless card for a transaction, you’ll need to enter your PIN. Once you've done that, all future transactions under threshold can be contactless. You need to hold your card very close to the reader (around 2 – 4 centimeters) for it to work. If the price of the transaction is over £100, you will need to key in your PIN as normal.
For added security, every now and again you might be asked to enter your PIN for transactions under the threshold. This is likely to happen if you make several contactless transactions in a row.
How to use contactless:
- Look for the contactless symbol when paying.
- Simply touch your contactless card against the reader.
- A beep or green light shows your payment is being processed.
- Your payment is approved.
-
All contactless cards have the contactless symbol on them. The symbol is four curved lines radiating rightwards (a lot like a Wi-Fi symbol turned on its side). It looks like this:
![Contactless logo - illustration of a hand holding a bank card over the contactless logo. The logo has four curved lines which mimics a soundwave and is within an oval shape.]()
If you have this symbol on the front of your debit card, you can start using the contactless method as described above.
-
Yes, whether you have an Apple or Android device you’ll be able to register your Lloyds Bank International cards with Apple Pay or Google Pay respectively. Some device and card restrictions may apply.
Apple Pay and Google Pay are convenient ways to pay with your Lloyds Bank International debit or credit card. Using the latest contactless technology, it's a simple, secure way to make everyday payments with your mobile device.
Your card details won’t be stored on your device or sent to merchants, so your information stays private and secure.

Here's how the process works:

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

- Working day 7
Congratulations, your switch is complete. Your balance is transferred and your old account is closed.
- After you 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.
