Allocation of payments

If you don’t pay off your balance in full your monthly payment will reduce your balance in this order:

  • Interest.
  • Charges.
  • Payment Protection Cover premiums (if applicable).
  • Balance Transfers and Cheques at 0%.
  • Other promotional Balance Transfers and Cheques, in the order they were added to your Account.
  • Balance Transfers and Cheques charged at the standard rate.
  • Purchases.
  • Cash Withdrawal,
  • All other amounts.

This means that 0% Balance Transfers are paid off before balances charged at a higher rate, such as Cash Withdrawals.

Credit cards are designed to be a flexible form of borrowing.  Paying the minimum amount every so often can help you manage your money more effectively, although we would not recommend that you make minimum payments for a long period of time once your promotional offers have ended.  Once your account is open, you can set up a Direct Debit for any fixed amount over the minimum payment by calling 0845 606 2172. Lines are open Mon-Fri 8am-10pm, Sat-Sun 8am-6pm.

For longer term borrowing it may be more appropriate to choose a loan from us. If you would like to find out more about this you can call Lloyds TSB Personal Loans on 0800 092 6290, or visit www.lloydstsb.com/loans or call into a Lloyds TSB branch, where our staff will be happy to help.

The following example highlights the difference between only paying the minimum and paying a fixed amount:
