Lloyds Bank Launches 'Advance' Card for New-to-Credit Customers

Only existing Lloyds customers of at least three months qualify, with a £20 good‑standing reward.

Overview

  • The Advance card is positioned to help people new to credit build confidence and establish a positive record.
  • Features include no foreign transaction fees and a single interest rate to keep costs straightforward.
  • Users get a plain‑English knowledge hub, access to Your Credit Score, spending controls including gambling blocks, and a Benefit Calculator.
  • The £20 payment is offered when the account is kept up to date during the first six months after opening.
  • Lloyds cites survey data showing many 18–34s lack APR understanding, while regional outlets report potentially millions of existing customers could be eligible.
