The Terms and Conditions are now live on the website:

£200 switching offer terms and conditions

To qualify for the £200 switching offer (“the offer”) you must switch to a new Club Lloyds account, Club Lloyds Platinum account, Lloyds Premier account or Club Lloyds Silver account using the ‘Current Account Switch Service’ to switch from a bank account held with another bank. The following conditions apply:

• Use the ‘Current Account Switch Service’ to transfer all the active credits and debits from the bank account that you hold with another bank to a new Club Lloyds account (a £5 monthly fee may apply), a new Club Lloyds Platinum account (£22.50 monthly fee applies, plus £5 monthly Club Lloyds fee may apply), a new Club Lloyds Silver account (£11.50 monthly fee applies, plus £5 Club Lloyds fee may apply) or a new Lloyds Premier account (£15 monthly fee applies) (‘Qualifying Account’). The ‘Current Account Switch Service’ will close your old account with the other bank; and
• Your switch must include the transfer of a minimum of 3 active direct debits from your old account being switched to Lloyd’s as part of the offer. Direct debits set up after your switch has been started and other types of automated payments, such as standing orders and recurring card payments, won’t count towards the offer; and
• Start your switch from your old bank account using the ‘Current Account Switch Service’ to a Club Lloyds account, Club Lloyds Platinum account, Club Lloyds Silver account or a Lloyds Premier account from 16 September 2025.

You can’t take part in the offer if:

• You switch to any account other than a Club Lloyds account, Club Lloyds Platinum account, Club Lloyds Silver account or a Lloyds Premier account. 
• You switch to any existing Lloyds bank account, or you change your existing Lloyds Bank Current account to a Club Lloyds account, Club Lloyds Silver account, Club Lloyds Platinum account or Lloyds Premier account. 
• You switch from a Halifax or Bank of Scotland current account.
• You’ve received a switching offer since April 2020 for switching to any Lloyds, Bank of Scotland or Halifax Bank account.
• You are switching to a joint account and one of the parties to the joint account has already received a switching offer since April 2020.
• The bank you are switching from does not participate in the ‘Current Account Switch Service’. To find out more visit www.currentaccountswitch.co.uk.
• You are an employee of Lloyds Banking Group, or if an employee is on any bank account held in joint names.
   

Key information

• The offer applies to applications received in branch, online or by phone from 16 September 2025. The offer is subject to change and can be withdrawn without notice at any time.
• The offer does not automatically guarantee an arranged overdraft and any application for an arranged overdraft facility will be subject to status. If your qualifying account has an arranged overdraft, you won’t pay any daily arranged overdraft interest for 3 months provided you stay within your arranged overdraft limit and do not increase or otherwise change the arranged overdraft limit agreed.
• After 3 months, or if you change your account, you’ll be charged daily arranged overdraft interest applicable to the account you hold if you use your arranged overdraft. See the personal banking terms and conditions and banking charges for full details on arranged overdraft interest. You’ll have been given this when you opened your account, but if you would like another one, please ask in branch or look at lloydsbank.com/current-accounts/all-accounts.
• Only one offer is available per customer. Joint accounts will only be paid one payment.
• The offer will be paid directly into your account within ten working days of your switch completing and will appear as a cash credit. 

Frequently asked questions on the £200 switching offer

When will I receive the £200 offer?

We’ll pay it into your account within 10 working days of the switch and will appear as a cash credit.

As an existing Lloyds customer, do I qualify for the £200 offer?

Yes, as long as you open a new qualifying account named in the terms and conditions and you haven’t received a switching incentive from us, Bank of Scotland or Halifax since April 2020. You must complete your switch using the Current Account Switch Service to switch a bank account held elsewhere with at least 3 active direct debits.

Can I change my existing account to one of the qualifying accounts and still receive the offer?

No, you must open a new qualifying account.

To qualify for the offer, do I need to complete the switch at the time of opening my new bank account?

No, as long as you start your switch during the campaign offer period. The offer can be withdrawn without notice at any time.

As part of your application you will be asked if you want to switch before you choose your new account, so have your existing account details to hand.

What’s a direct debit?

It’s a way to pay bills automatically from your current account. You give a business permission to collect money from your account when a payment is due. Direct debit amounts can vary, but the business has to tell you if the amount is changing. Direct debits are covered by the Direct Debit Guarantee.

What is an active direct debit

An active direct debit is one that has been paid to the originator in the last 13 months. This can be any frequency of payment: weekly, monthly, quarterly or annual. If the direct debit has been recently set up and the first payment has not been taken this is not an active direct debit.

What types of payments qualify as direct debits?

Your switch must include the transfer of at least 3 active direct debits from your old account. Direct debits set up after you’ve started your switch won’t count towards the offer. Standing orders and subscriptions are also excluded.

Can I switch a joint account?

Yes. To open a joint account online, both parties must log in to the mobile banking app or online banking. Otherwise, you can open a new Club Lloyds account in one person's name and then book an appointment with your local branch to add the other person. Lloyds Premier accounts can only be opened in a single name. Also, if either person has already received a switching offer from Lloyds, Halifax or Bank of Scotland since April 2020, you won't be eligible for the offer.

I honestly cannot remember if I have already received a bonus. I will give it a go!

They are going back too far. More than 5 years  I had to go through my bank statements to check when I received mine. Unfortunately not eligible.

I opened mine in October 2020 and still use it today to get free Disney+

I had 2 Halifax in August 2020, and one Lloyds in September 2020. Sigh. Those were the days.

I know I got a Lloyds bonus years ago, possibly 2020? Can't remember. Will need to check my credit file for when I opened it.

I might give this one a go, see what happens. Not in, can't win and all that.

April 2022 for me. 

Top tip - keep a spreadsheet of who you’ve switched from / too with dates.

To be fair to Lloyds, they are not aiming their offer at people who "do all the switching bonuses"

It seems pretty much all banks have now moved to using a fixed eligibility cutoff date that doesn't change with each new switch incentive
