What is a student arranged overdraft?
Sometimes you need a little financial support to help tide you over for a short period of time. That’s where an arranged overdraft comes in. It allows you to borrow some money, like a safety net.
Like all overdrafts, you’ll have to pay it back at some point, but we’ll keep you in the loop by letting you know if you ever go over your limit via overdraft alerts.
Take a look at how the interest-free amount changes over the years. You can only apply for an arranged overdraft if you are 18 years or more.
If you are given an arranged overdraft limit higher than the interest free amount, you will be charged interest on any borrowing over and above the interest free amount.
All overdrafts are subject to application and repayable on demand. You must be 18 or over to apply.

How do you get a student arranged overdraft?
Apply for a student account, and we’ll tell you what arranged overdraft we can give you during your application.
All overdrafts are subject to our assessment of your circumstances and are repayable on demand, including any interest.
How do I increase my arranged overdraft?
You can apply to increase it online in a couple of minutes, and we will give you an instant online decision.

Arranged overdrafts are subject to application and approval and repayable on demand. You must be 18 or over to apply. Arranged overdraft limits and interest rates vary based on your individual circumstances.

If you already have a current account with us, you can apply for an arranged overdraft through Internet Banking or Mobile Banking. You can also apply to increase your existing arranged overdraft limit too.

Switching with us
We can move your current account to a Lloyds Bank Student Account in just seven working days. Your standing orders and Direct Debits will be automatically transferred to your new account. All you have to do is let us know the date you want to be switched and provide details of the account you want to switch from.
Current accounts and services are offered subject to your status. They are available only to personal customers who are aged over 18 and are resident in the UK.
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 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.

When you are no longer eligible for the Student Account, for example you graduate from your course, we will convert your account to a Graduate Account, unless you make alternative arrangements with us.

The Graduate Account has an interest-free arranged overdraft offer that gradually reduces each year, helping you transition into professional life.
Arranged overdraft
You can apply for a tiered interest-free arranged overdraft of up to:
- £2,000 in your first year after graduating,
- £1,500 in your second year, and
- £1,000 in your third year.
Arranged overdrafts are subject to application and approval and repayable on demand. You must be 18 or over to apply. Arranged overdraft limits and interest rates vary based on your individual circumstances.
