After a careful review of our products, we've made the decision to close all our Current Accounts.
Our Current Accounts will close on 30 November 2021, but you can continue to use your account as normal until then.
Here’s everything you need to know about closing your Tesco Bank Current Account.
You can continue to use your current account as normal. But before the end of November, you should:
Only your current account will be closed. If you have a credit card or savings account with us, they’ll remain open. However you should update your payment details on these accounts if they’re linked to your Tesco Bank Current Account.
From 15 October 2021, Tesco Stores Customer Service Desks will no longer offer cash withdrawals and deposits.
To make things as easy as possible, you’ll find more information below on what you can do next, or you can visit our Support Hub
You can continue to use your current account as normal until 30 November 2021. Here are a few things you can do before then.
Once you’ve found a current account with another bank you can ask them to switch your Tesco Bank Current Account for you.
By using the Current Account Switch Service, all your payments and money will move to your new bank and your Tesco Bank Current Account will close automatically - so you don’t need to contact us.
To close your Current Account, you need to take your balance to £0. We’ll then close it for you on 30 November 2021 and send you a closing statement.
If you’d like to close your account earlier, you can complete our PDF closure form, or contact us

You'll need to make sure your overdraft balance is £0 by 30 November 2021.
You may be able to transfer any overdraft you have using the Current Account Switch Service. You’ll just need to make sure that your new bank or building society will offer you an overdraft for an amount that's the same or greater than your current overdraft. If they can only offer you a lower overdraft limit, you'll need to repay any overdraft balance with us that you can't transfer.
If you’re struggling to pay off your overdraft, we can arrange a repayment plan that’s affordable for you, call us on 0345 366 6468*.
To help support you in closing your account, including information around your overdraft or your switching options, we've created a support hub of useful hints and tips.
