Switch your current account to Lloyds

Switching your current account to Lloyds is simple, reliable and stress-free with the Current Account Switching Service.

Ready to switch?

How it works

Step 1

Open a current account

  • We’ll ask if you want to switch when you apply. This will be before you choose your new account.
  • You'll need the details of the account you want to switch to us, including your debit card number.
  • Choose the date you want to switch. Leave the rest to us.

Step 2

Sit back while we switch

  • It takes seven working days
  • We’ll let you know when it’s done – in the meantime, you can still use your old account
  • Your switch is covered by the switch guarantee

Step 3

On your switch date, we’ll:

  • Transfer your balance and close your old account
  • Move over all incoming payments (like your salary) and outgoing payments (like direct debits and standing orders)
  • Redirect payments made to your old account and give the payor your new details

  • We’ll transfer:

    • your account balance
    • incoming payments like your salary, pension or benefits
    • outgoing payments like your utility bills.

    Plus, we’ll:

    • close your old account when the switch is complete
    • redirect payments to your new account and contact the sender with your new account details
    • move over your payee list so you don’t need to set it up again.

    We won’t transfer:

    • regular bills and Subscriptions made on your old debit card like Disney+ or other streaming services - you’ll need to give the provider your new card details
    • mobile payments like Apple Pay and Google Pay - you’ll need to add your new debit card to your digital wallet
    • any arranged overdraft you have with your old provider - find out more about overdrafts and switching
    • your statement or transaction history - we suggest you download or request copies from your old provider.

The benefits of switching to Lloyds

General benefits of the Current Account Switching Service

Switch on your terms

With the Current Account Switch Service (CASS) 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 whole process will be handled by us. If you have any questions or concerns, just ask.

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.

Payments and transactions

We will transfer any existing balance and 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.

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.

How the switching process works

  • 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.

    • 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.

    1. Before you close your old account, check whether you have any Third Party Provider permissions set up and if so, who with.
    2. 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.
    3. 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.

Overdraft information

  • 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.

    You can use our calculator to work out how much your anticipated arranged overdraft borrowing would cost over different periods of time.

    How to apply for the arranged overdraft

    At the end of your current account application, we may offer you an arranged overdraft, which you can add right away. You can also apply for one later.

    Are you eligible for the arranged overdraft offer?

    To qualify for the interest-free offer you must :

    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

    An arranged overdraft has a variable interest rate of 39.9% EAR, and a variable representative rate of 39.9% APR, based on borrowing £1,200.

    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: £3.22 for 7 days, £13.86 for 30 days and £28.09 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.
