Club Lloyds: The Member Discount
Lloyds' standout feature is the Club Lloyds discount:
- Club Lloyds members (holders of the Club Lloyds current account, which costs £3/month, waived if you pay in £2,000+/month) access a mortgage rate discount of typically around 0.20%.
- On a £200,000 mortgage, a 0.20% discount saves roughly £20-£25/month — about £1,200-£1,500 over a 5-year fix, far more than the account's cost.
If you're a non-member, joining Club Lloyds before remortgaging (to access the discounted rate) is often worth the small account cost. Always model whether the discount makes Lloyds the cheapest option versus the wider market.
Product Transfer vs Switching From Lloyds
Existing Lloyds customers can:
- Product transfer — fast switch to a new Lloyds deal, no valuation or legal work.
- Switch to a new lender — worth it if another lender beats Lloyds' (Club-discounted) rate by a meaningful margin.
As with NatWest, Lloyds' new-business remortgage rates are sometimes cheaper than its product-transfer rates — so compare both routes within Lloyds, plus the wider market.
Best Alternatives to Lloyds
Compare Lloyds (with any Club discount) against:
- Halifax — same banking group, often very competitive, strong for self-employed.
- HSBC / First Direct — frequently cheapest for clean-credit borrowers.
- Santander / Nationwide — broad criteria, competitive pricing.
A broker compares Lloyds' Club-discounted rate against the whole market so you know whether the membership genuinely makes it the cheapest option for you.
Important: Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage. There will be a fee for mortgage advice. The actual rate available will depend on your circumstances. Think carefully before securing other debts against your home.
