Following a change to the reference rate for US Dollar and Euro the bank will update the rate on the same business day as the effective date of the rate change.

If the rate change is announced and is effective after normal business hours in London, or if the effective date of the rate change is not a business day in London, then the reference rate will be updated on the next business day. The bank will update the reference rate for currencies other than US Dollar and Euro following a change to that reference rate promptly and in any event within 5 business days of the effective date of the change.

We reserve the right to replace any of these reference rates from time to time.

Not all products are available in all currencies. If you would like details about the rates for any products or currencies, please contact your Business Relationship team or branch.

Negative reference rates on working capital products: If any external reference rate is less than zero then, for the purposes of calculating debit interest or excess interest (as applicable) for your working capital product, that rate will be deemed to be zero. For example, your overdraft might be charged at 3% over an external reference rate. If the external reference rate is -0.25%, you would be charged 3%.
