Types of current accounts from Lloyds

Here’s a list of the types of current accounts that Lloyds has to offer. As you can imagine, there’s one for every need, from children who are just starting their personal finance journey to fully established professionals.

  • Reward and incentive accounts

    With Club Lloyds, you get an annual interest rate on your balance, plus other lifestyle benefits. Meanwhile, if you pay in the minimum required amount, Lloyds will waive your monthly fee. If you’d rather get a more straightforward cash reward directly when you switch, you can compare incentive account options on Finder.

  • Premium accounts

    Unlike most premium accounts, Lloyds’ Platinum account doesn’t have strict eligibility criteria. Most people can get it, but it does cost a monthly fee in return for a full range of insurance benefits. If your account balance falls below a set amount, you may be subject to a higher account fee.

  • Student accounts

    Lloyds’ student account is a solid option that offers an interest-free overdraft to make your tight budget a bit more flexible. It also offers cashbak on certain purchases but no freebies, so you may want to compare alternatives to see if you can secure a free railcard or a cash welcome incentive too.

  • Children’s accounts

    Lloyds’ children’s account treats your kids with a little interest rate on their balance, and is an effective tool to teach them how to manage their money, starting from when they’re as young as 11.

  • Business accounts

    Choose from the Lloyds business account for small businesses and start-ups (providing your estimated turnover is under £3 million in the next 12 months), or a business account for larger businesses. Lloyds also offers accounts for schools and community groups, plus business accounts for professional practices including solicitors, accountants, insurance brokers and estate and managing agents.

Pros and cons of banking with Lloyds

Pros

  • Rewards. Aside from paying interest on balances, Lloyds also has a decent rewards programme that lets you earn cashback when you shop at selected retailers. All current account holders can register for it.
  • Multiple ways to bank. As is usual with big banks, with Lloyds you can stay on top of your current account using the mobile app, online, on the phone or in person.
  • Mobile banking app. It’s a straightforward and clean app, although it doesn’t come with loads of features. But Lloyds is gradually improving it – push notifications have just been added.
  • Global acceptance. Lloyds debit cards are on the Visa network, so you don’t have to worry about acceptance, even if you go abroad.
  • Round the clock assistance. Lloyds’ customer service phone line is open 24/7, so there is always someone available to help you deal with whatever emergency you’re having – even at 3 am.
  • A full range of financial products. Mortgages, loans, credit cards, you name it. If you prefer concentrating all your banking stuff in the same financial institution, a big bank is a smart choice that will give you many different products to choose among.

Cons

  • Packaged accounts are pricey. Lloyds’ packaged account options have relatively high monthly costs, with its Platinum account costing £21 a month in account maintenance fees.
  • International transfers are also pricey. If you anticipate sending money abroad from your Lloyds account, you may incur a transfer fee.

We show offers we can track - that's not every product on the market...yet. Unless we've said otherwise, products are in no particular order. The terms "best", "top", "cheap" (and variations of these) aren't ratings, though we always explain what's great about a product when we highlight it. This is subject to our terms of use. When you make major financial decisions, consider getting independent financial advice. Always consider your own circumstances when you compare products so you get what's right for you.
