Take a look at our list of frequently asked questions for customers saving outside the UK.
Non-UK residents criteria
-
No, however Lloyds Banking Group offers international banking services, including a range of savings products, to overseas customers through Lloyds Bank Corporate Markets plc.
This company is not required to be authorised under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 of the United Kingdom and therefore is not subject to the rules and regulations of the Financial Services Compensation Scheme made under that Act for the protection of depositors and investors.
These products and services are available in many countries but not all, due to legal or regulatory constraints, and are also subject to other eligibility criteria. For more information, visit Lloyds Bank International Banking.

Among the considerations for that strategic decision are the varied legal and regulatory requirements that apply in each overseas jurisdiction.

Closing your account

Living outside the UK affects the way you can use your savings account.

A confirmation letter will have been sent to your primary address. If you’ve not received the letter and need to get in touch, please call us.

Only new savings accounts will be closed.
