Pay someone new
You can do this online
- Send up to £25,000 a day in the app or online banking.
- Name checks so you pay the right person.
- Payments normally arrive within two hours and you can even send a payment receipt.
We're unable to cancel a payment once it’s been made.
Lloyds will never ask you to:
- move money to a so-called secure, safe or holding account
- move your money or ask you to transfer funds to a new sort code and account number.

We'll guide you through it.

First, check your account to see if the money has already been returned.
If it has, you can resend the payment with the right details.
If it hasn’t and you know the recipient, the easiest and quickest way to get your money back is to contact them directly.
If you don't know them, if you don’t want to contact them or if the account you paid is closed, give us a call.
We’ll try to recover the money for you. Be aware that we may not be able to help you. In that case you‘ll need to contact the bank you made the payment to.
Calls may be monitored or recorded to help us improve our quality of service.
