The news comes as some Lloyds Bank customers are set to land a £175 bonus - but only if they use certain accounts. The bank recently announced how bonuses will be paid to customers new and old who use Club Lloyds accounts, with the offer open until April 1.

However, people considering making the switch are being warned Club Lloyds accounts are fee-paying for people who don't deposit £2,000 each month, and come with certain conditions. The £3 fee is also set rise to £5 in June.

Club Lloyds account holders receive benefits including a year-long Disney+ subscription, a selection of six cinema tickets for Vue or Odeon, a magazine subscription, or memberships to digital Coffee Club and Gourmet Society. They also enjoy higher interest rates on savings accounts.

Andrew Hagger, a personal finance expert from Moneycomms, said: "On the face of it, the list of benefits looks impressive. As long as you meet the £2,000 monthly income criteria to avoid the £5 monthly fee, then it looks a decent deal."

He added: "The Club Lloyds Platinum and Club Lloyds Silver are packaged bank accounts and come with monthly fees of £22.50 and £11.50 respectively – just make sure you'll make good use of the benefits on offer with these accounts otherwise it may not work out good value."
