Key exclusions
- The offer applies to applications received in branch, online or by phone by the 03 February 2026. The offer is subject to change and can be withdrawn without notice at any time.
- The offer does not automatically guarantee an arranged overdraft and any application for an arranged overdraft facility will be subject to status.

- After 3 months, or if you change your account, you’ll be charged daily arranged overdraft interest applicable to the account you hold if you use your arranged overdraft. Please see the Personal Banking Terms and Conditions and Banking Charges leaflet for full details on arranged overdraft interest. You’ll have been given this when you opened your account, but if you would like another one, please ask in branch or look at www.lloydsbank.com/current-accounts/all-accounts

When will I receive the £250 offer?
We’ll pay it into your account within 40 working days of the switch and will appear as a cash credit.
As an existing Lloyds customer, do I qualify for the £250 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 01 January 2023. 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 during the campaign offer period. The offer can be withdrawn without notice at any time.
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 a new Club Lloyds account in one person's name and then book an appointment with your local branch to add the other person. Also, if either person has already received a switching offer from Lloyds, Halifax, or Bank of Scotland since 01 January 2023, you won't be eligible for the offer.

- 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.
- Before you close your old account, check whether you have any Third Party Provider permissions set up and if so, who with.
- 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.
- 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.
