Switch on your terms
With the Current Account Switch Service you can choose a switch date to suit you. Just make sure you allow a minimum of seven working days.
Simple and stress-free
The new account provider transfers any existing balance and all existing payment arrangements for you – including those going out (for example Direct Debits and standing orders), those coming in (for example, your salary) and payees you already have set up.
Wide ranging spread of UK banks and building societies are on board
This means over 99% of UK current accounts are covered by the Current Account Switch Guarantee.
The switching process is the same everywhere
Every bank and building society offering the service follows exactly the same switch Process.
Payments are automatically redirected
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.
Backed by a Guarantee
In the unlikely event that something goes wrong with your switch, the new provider will refund any interest or charges incurred on your old or new account as a result.
A single point of contact
The whole process will be handled by the bank or building society you are switching to. If you have any questions or concerns, just ask your new provider.
Working day 1
The switch begins. We make contact with your old bank to arrange the switch.
Working day 2
We’ll let you know that your old bank has received your request, and then we can start transferring your payment arrangements across to your new Lloyds Bank account.
Working day 3-5
It’ll take a couple of days to switch over your payment arrangements, and make sure your Lloyds Bank 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 Bank account to cover this transfer.
Working day 7
Congratulations your switch is complete! Your balance is transferred and your old bank account is closed.
After your switch
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.
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.
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.
