Arranged overdraft information
An arranged overdraft can act as a short term buffer. You can use it to borrow money up to an agreed limit through your bank account.
- You can apply to add an arranged overdraft to your account and you’ll only pay daily arranged overdraft interest if you use it.
- If you use your arranged overdraft but pay it back before the end of the day, then you won’t pay any arranged overdraft interest for that day.
Helpful tools - You can use our eligibility checker and cost calculator to check your eligibility and calculate the cost of an arranged overdraft.
Applying for an arranged overdraft - When you have applied for this account, at the end of the application you can apply for an arranged overdraft which you can add right away. You can also apply for one later.
Amending an arranged overdraft - You can reduce or remove your arranged overdraft at any time through Mobile Banking, Internet Banking or Telephone Banking or by visiting your branch. But you must repay anything you owe if you want to remove an arranged overdraft or anything over the new reduced limit you want. You can also apply to increase it. Using an arranged overdraft increases your overall borrowing and may affect your credit score.
If you don't have enough money in your account or available arranged overdraft to make a payment, we may either let you borrow through an unarranged overdraft or refuse to make the payment. Missing payments and using an unarranged overdraft can damage your credit score, please get in touch with us as we may be able to help you.
All overdrafts are subject to application and repayable on demand. You must be 18 or over to apply.

Switch your current account to us in just 7 working days, using our stress-free process
Whether you want to move to Lloyds or you already bank with us, switching is easy. Our team will do everything to make sure your switch runs smoothly, including transferring all your Direct Debits and standing orders to your new account.
You'll be able to switch your account to us at the end of your online application.
Here's how the process works
- Working day 1
The switching begins. We make contact with your old bank to arrange the switch.
- Working day 2
We’ll let you know your old bank has received your request. We then start transferring your payments to your new Lloyds account.
- Working day 3-5
It will take a couple of days to switch over your payment arrangements, and make sure your Lloyds 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 account to cover the transfer.
- Working day 7
Congratulations, your switch is complete. Your balance is transferred and your old account is closed.
- After you switch
We'll arrange for payments accidentally made to your old account to be automatically redirected to your new account. We'll also contact the sender and give them your new account details.
Current Account Switch Guarantee
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'll 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'll transfer it to your new account on your switch date.
We'll arrange for payments accidentally made to your old account to be automatically redirected to your new account. We'll also contact the sender and give them your new account details.
If there are any issues in making the switch, we'll contact you before your switch date.
If anything goes wrong with the switch, as soon as we are told, we'll refund any interest (paid or lost) and charges made on either your old or new current accounts as a result of this failure.
