As of 31 March 2008, interchange is drastically restricted due to escalator work; TfL are recommending that the station is best avoided, but various commentators point out that certain interchanges are still possible. Interchange can still be accomplished at street level, though this can be quite a lot of faff. It's <i>likely</i> though not entirely clear that street-level interchange will count as a continuous journey for Oyster PAYG purposes.

Things are still changing, but [http://londonconnections.blogspot.com/2008/04/bank-monument-open.html this London Connections diagram] shows the (somewhat improved) situation as of 4 April, and [http://londonconnections.blogspot.com/2008/04/bank-monument-escalator-works.html this London Connections post] has details of future work.
 The original idea was for the complex to basically operate as three separate stations:
* [[Category Central Line|Central Line]] and [[Category Waterloo And City Line|Waterloo and City Line]]
* [[Category Northern Line|Northern Line]] and [[Category DLR|DLR]]
* [[Category Circle Line|Circle]] and [[Category District Line|District]] lines

Interchange between these three sections of the complex was planned to be only via street level. It's <i>likely</i> though not yet tested that street-level interchange will count as a continuous journey for Oyster PAYG purposes.
