Switch your account to us
Switching your current account to Lloyds International is straightforward. Use the Current Account Switch Service to transfer your account and payments.
Switch your current account to Lloyds International
Whether you’re switching to Lloyds International or already bank with us and want to open another current account, it’s simple. We’ll move your direct debits and standing orders and make sure everything runs smoothly.
- Open a new Lloyds International current account online, in branch, or by video appointment.
- Switching your current account to Lloyds International is straightforward.
- Have your existing account details ready, including your debit card number.
- When you apply for an account with us, you’ll be asked if you want to switch. If you do, your switch will complete within 7 working days once your new account is open.
- We’ll move your direct debits, salary and standing orders for you.
- All banks and building societies use the same switching service.
- If anything goes wrong, we’ll refund any interest or charges on your old or new account.
-
Although many things are switched automatically, we won’t:
- transfer regular payments and subscriptions set up using your old debit card details. You’ll need to contact each service provider to update your payment information
- update digital wallets, such as Apple Pay or Google Pay. Simply remove your old debit card and add your new one when it arrives
- transfer any arranged overdraft you have with your old account provider
- transfer your statement or transaction history. You should be able to download or request copies from your old account provider.
-
Working day 1
We’ll contact your old account provider to start your switch.
Working day 2
We’ll confirm that your old account provider has received your request. We can then start moving your regular payments to your new Lloyds International current account.
Working day 3 to 5
It’ll take a couple of days to transfer all your regular payments, and make sure everything is ready for your switch.
Working day 6
If you choose to pay off the overdrawn balance on your old account as part of your switch, make sure there’s enough money in your new Lloyds account to cover this payment on the seventh working day of your switch.
Working day 7
We’ll transfer your balance and close your old account. Your switch is complete.
After your switch
Any payments sent to your old account will be automatically redirected to your new Lloyds International current account. We’ll also give the sender your new details for future payments.
-
The Current Account Switch Service offers a simple, reliable and stress-free way to switch your current account from one bank or building society to another. It only takes 7 working days once your account is open.
As your new current account provider, Lloyds Bank International offer the following guarantee:
- The service is free to use.
- All your payments move over – both the money coming in, like your salary, and the money going out, such as direct debits and standing orders. And we’ll take care of moving them all for you.
- 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, we’ll refund any interest and charges applied to your old or new account as soon as we’re told, whether that interest was paid or lost, and whether the charges happened because of this issue.
