Lloyds bank current account

I'm thinking of opening Lloyds current account which pays in 4%
but I know I have to pay in £1500 every month or pay £5 fee.
my question is: can I transfer that money from BOS & TSB or does it have to from a different bank like nationwide or Tesco bank?




Thank you :)

    Short answer: transfers from any bank are OK (including Lloyds itself)

    Proper answer: read the account Ts & Cs to validate this for yourself (at the same time as familiarising with all the other account terms) rather than relying on anonymous strangers on the internet!

    Thank you


    I know BOS I can transfer from 1 account to another BOS account and get the interest, so Lloyds is the same

    Yes, also worth stating that this doesn't have to be in one go as it is a fairly large amount, three transfers of £500 each would meet the criterion as well.
