From 6th April 2016 interest is paid Gross, meaning we will not deduct tax on your behalf. Dependant on your personal circumstances, tax may be due on your interest and it is your responsibility to disclose and pay any tax due directly to HMRC.

Switching made easy expandable section
Switching with us

We can move your current account to a Lloyds Bank Classic 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.
