3 months 0% interest free overdraft when you switch

An arranged overdraft can act as a useful safety net. You can use it to borrow money up to an agreed limit through your bank account.

What happens after the 0% interest free period ends?

Once your three month interest-free period ends we will charge interest daily. The daily arranged overdraft interest rate will be based on how you manage any accounts with us and on the credit information we hold about you. We will let you know this rate in the pre contract credit information we give you if you apply for an arranged overdraft.

Representative example (based on using a Club Lloyds Account)

An arranged overdraft on a Club Lloyds account has a variable interest rate of 27.5% EAR, and a variable representative rate of 29.9% APR, based on borrowing £1,200. The APR includes monthly maintaining the account fees of £3* and an interest free amount of £50.

*The £3 fee is waived for each month you pay in at least £2,000 into your account.

How does our overdraft compare?

You can use the representative APR to compare with other products or credit providers, this can help you make sure that you choose the right type of borrowing for you.

How much does my overdraft cost in pounds and pence?

As an example, the interest cost of borrowing £500 is: £2.04 for 7 days, £8.94 for 30 days and £17.98 for 60 days.

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.
 

  • To help you during your switch, we may be able to arrange an interest-free arranged overdraft for 3 months, subject to application and approval.

    Are you eligible for the arranged overdraft offer?

    To qualify for the interest-free offer you must:

    • Use the Current Account Switch Service. This service means your old account will be closed and all your payments transferred to your new Lloyds Bank account
    • Have not used the offer within the last 12 months
    • Have applied, and been approved for an arranged overdraft on your new Lloyds Bank account

    How do you apply for an arranged overdraft?

    At the end of your current account application process, we may offer you an arranged overdraft. If we do, we'll tell you the maximum amount you can have and you can add it right away. You can also apply for one later.

    What happens if I am overdrawn and want to switch?

    We will show you the maximum amount of arranged overdraft we can offer you before you complete your switch request form, if we are unable to offer you the full amount you will need to make arrangements with your bank to pay back the remaining amount. If you've already got a current account with us you can log onto Internet or Mobile Banking and see if there is an option to extend your arranged overdraft.

    How does our overdraft compare?

    You can use the representative APR to compare with other products or credit providers, this can help you make sure that you choose the right type of borrowing for you.

    Representative Example

    A variable representative rate of 29.9% APR

    A variable interest rate of 27.5% EAREAR is the Equivalent Annual Rate. This is the annual interest rate of an overdraft. This means you are charged over the year based on how often and how much you are overdrawn by, and the effect of compounding it – charging interest on interest already charged. This interest rate does not include any other fees and charges.

    Based on borrowing £1,200

    The APR includes monthly maintaining the account fees of £3* and an interest free amount of £50

    * The £3 fee is waived for each month you pay in at least £2,000 into your account.

    How much does my overdraft cost in pounds and pence?

    As an example, the interest cost of borrowing £500 is:

    £2.04 for 7 days

    £8.94 for 30 days

    £17.98 for 60 days
