    If you have a Lloyds TSB current account and change it to a Vantage account and keep a balance between £5,000 and £7,000, they will pay 5% interest on the whole account.

    That's brilliant considering the current interest rates so long as you can keep your account credited with £1000p/m.

    I've been thinking about switching to Lloyds for ages...
