What is a student arranged overdraft?
Sometimes you need a little financial support to help tide you over for a short period of time. That’s where an arranged overdraft comes in. It allows you to borrow some money, like a safety net.
Like all overdrafts, you’ll have to pay it back at some point, but we’ll keep you in the loop by letting you know if you ever go over your limit via overdraft alerts.
Take a look at how the interest-free amount changes over the years. You can only apply for an arranged overdraft if you are 18 years or more.
If you are given an arranged overdraft limit higher than the interest free amount, you will be charged interest on any borrowing over and above the interest free amount.
All overdrafts are subject to application and repayable on demand. You must be 18 or over to apply.

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.
You won’t pay anything when you stay within your interest-free arranged overdraft amount.
For more information about overdrafts, see Student Account welcome pack (PDF, 844 KB).
If you already have a current account with us, you can apply for an arranged overdraft through Internet Banking or Mobile Banking. You can also apply to increase your existing arranged overdraft limit too.
Let’s look at the details
-
- For nursing and midwifery, a NMAS letter is accepted
- If you haven’t applied through UCAS, then an original university offer letter on university headed paper may be accepted. It needs to include:
- Student’s name and address
- Course name
- Course type and length
- Year of graduation

- If you have a Lloyds Student Account already, and continue straight onto a Masters Degree or PhD, you can extend your existing Student Account and hold it for a maximum of 6 years whilst you study.
- If you don’t have a Lloyds Student Account, and are starting a Masters Degree, then you can open a new Student Account if you are 17 or over, have been a resident in the UK for at least three years and are studying for a full-time course that lasts for a minimum of two years or be on a one year access course leading onto a full-time degree.

Your current account will graduate along with you

- £1,500 in your second year
- £1,000 in your third year

Switching with us
We can move your current account to a Lloyds Bank Student Account in just seven working days. Your standing orders and Direct Debits will be automatically transferred to your new account. All you have to do is let us know the date you want to be switched and provide details of the account you want to switch from.
Current accounts and services are offered subject to your status. They are available only to personal customers who are aged over 18 and are resident in the UK.
Current Account Switch Guarantee
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.

When you are no longer eligible for the Student Account, for example you graduate from your course, we will convert your account to a Graduate Account, unless you make alternative arrangements with us.

You can apply for a tiered interest-free arranged overdraft of up to:
- £2,000 in your first year after graduating,
