Lloyds current accounts for February 2025
Take a look at Lloyds' full range of current accounts – some of which even pay interest on your balance.

A Lloyds current account comes with all the pros you can expect from a major UK bank: a well-organised network of branches, all kinds of related financial products, customer service and top-level security. Lloyds Bank often runs switch incentives where customers can earn a switching bonus when they open a new current account with the bank and close down another account held elsewhere.
To make comparing even easier we came up with the Finder Score. Fees, features and customer service across 20+ of the most popular banks are all weighted and scaled to produce a score out of 10. The higher the score the better the account – simple.

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.

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.

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.
