When in the app, you see the Club Lloyds account, click on the 3 dots to the right and scroll down, you see the option to Change account type.

My switch is on Monday (new customer) and got the incentive. Apparently it went in on 22nd.

I applied for the Lloyd's switch on Saturday. All seemed to be going well.

Just received a text now saying my switch can't be progressed and to phone the Lloyd's Bank switching team. 

Phoned the number and it asks me whether I am a Halifax customer (press 1) or Bank of Scotland customer (press 2). And that's it!

I am a bit stumped.

My wife applied for a Club Lloyds account on Saturday and wanted to switch her Halifax account to them. The application went through OK but she too has had this same text today. She hasn't called them yet but will try tomorrow. 

She's tried 4 times to do the switch online to her now fully open Club Lloyds account but has received an error message each time. The website is painfully sluggish so maybe they're just busy with MSE-ers after an easy £100 😉

Mrs Baker got through to the switching team on the phone last Monday and was able to get it sorted. The £100 appeared on Thursday 👍🏻

Can I please ask, did your wife find out what the issue was? My other half had this text too, applied on Friday, account opened and switch applied for, failed text received Monday. Was switching from a recently opened Monzo account, but I did the same and mine went through.

I'm a completely different person who got the text, managed to phone them dead on 9am this morning (unlike the 20 minute wait advised other times).  The other bank (Santander) want me to phone them. I haven't yet.

All sorted for me, I allegedly typed the account number incorrectly, nope, didn't happen, but I wonder what's up with yours? 

The Santander account is dormant, so I have to take ID into branch to revive the account before it can be switched.

Santander are appalling in the way they refuse to allow access to accounts they’ve chosen to make dormant - even though you may well have other live accounts on the same login.

Just having to escalate a complaint to the FOS because they won’t budge on this.

I've received my £100, does anyone know if there is a problem with switching again straight after the 1st switch? Is there a time frame you need to stick to in case the bank takes back the money?
Thanks

No, there is nothing to stop you switching again straight away if you want.

So , you have accounts at other banks you can switch? Or with whom you can open a donor to switch when the card arrives?

Looking to try and get the £100 switch bonus but dont want to have to go to a branch given covid etc - is it guaranteed you'll need to provide proof of identity as a new customer?  Is this requirement only if you fail the standard electronic checks?
It seems pretty solid they want you to go in with proof from this link:
