How to get the £100

Once on board, new customers will be able to choose from a range of fantastic lifestyle benefits, take advantage of cashback at selected retailers, and access exclusive offers on savings and mortgages.”
The £100 cash will be paid directly in your account within 10 working days of your switch starting and will appear as a cash credit. The switching incentive is due to end on November 2020. Anyone who has received a Lloyds switching offer since April 2018 is barred from the deal.
