Brits aiming to bolster their savings this summer could pocket nearly £200 simply by switching their banking provider . Lloyds Bank is offering new customers £185 for switching to their banking services. To be eligible for the complimentary cash , applicants must satisfy three specific conditions.

This deal ends on July 28 this year. Kick off the process by opening a current account with Lloyds. This can be done through their website here . The bank says: “We’ll ask if you want to switch when you apply. This will be before you choose your new account. You’ll need the details of the account you want to switch to us, including your debit card number.” It will then take around seven working days for the switch to complete. “We’ll let you know when it’s done – in the meantime, you can still use your old account,” Lloyds says. “Your switch is covered by the switch guarantee” On your switch date, Lloyds will transfer your balance and close your old account. They will move over all incoming payments (like your salary) and outgoing payments (like direct debits and standing orders), and redirect payments made to your old account and give the payor your new details.
