Let's break it down

Who it's for

You can apply to switch your car finance to us if you:

  • are at least 18 years old
  • are a UK resident
  • have had a Bank of Scotland current account for at least 3 months.

Lending depends on your status and affordability checks.

How it works

  1. Get a settlement quote from your current lender – you’ll need to tell us this amount.
  2. Log in to online banking. Tell us about your car and current finance.
  3. Find out if you’re approved in just a few minutes.
  4. Send us your settlement figure. We’ll take care of the rest.

We usually transfer the finance amount directly to your current lender on the same day. They could have the money in their account within a few hours. If we send the money after 2.30pm, they’ll receive it before 12 noon the following day.

We can't refinance if you’re already a Bank of Scotland, Lloyds or Halifax car finance customer. Your quote is valid for 90 days, with no need to re-apply.
