* EAR means Effective Annual Rate. We provide it to let you to make comparisons against other overdraft products. To calculate the EAR, we take both your interest rate margin and the current Bank of England Base Rate, which you are charged on your overdraft, and compound it every month over a year. The EAR does not include any fees or charges that apply to your overdraft. It also does not take account of any future Bank of England Base Rate changes. There may be an overdraft fee applied to cover the cost of providing it.
* Rep EAR – representative Effective Annual Rate (representative EAR) is the advertised rate (or a lower rate) we reasonably expect at least 51% of customers who are accepted for and enter into the overdraft agreement as a result of the advertising or marketing will get. The rep EAR does not include any future Bank of England Base Rate changes.
Interest will accrue daily and be applied to the borrower’s business current account in arrears on a monthly basis.
