Do you usually get a text / SMS from Lloyds on the day of your Switch completing?

How long did your take to come through, was it the full 45 days? Mines seems to be slow. (I recall them in the past paying out quickly)

Hi all waited until today to active 3 direct debit and only found out that the earliest switch date now can only take place on the 9th of May but I have then found the following at the Lloyds swich page.

I checked webpage saying

• Start your switch from your old bank account using the ‘Current Account Switch Service’ by 30 Apr 2026; and

Does that means I can no longer take the benifit this time………

Start your switch means the day you apply. As long as you apply to switch before the 30th of April you'll be ok.

I was wondering if it is calendar or working days. I am on 31 calendar days at the moment.
