Apply for a fee-free overdraft of up to £1,000. If you go over the £1,000 fee-free amount, daily fees are charged on the whole balance of your arranged overdraft as follows.
- Up to £1,000 – no fee
- Over £1,000 and up to £2,000 – £1.50 a day
- Over £2,000 – £3 a day
Overdrafts, including fee-free amounts, are subject to application, financial circumstances and borrowing history.
Overdrafts over £15,000 have a set-up fee of 1.5% of the arranged overdraft limit, and a renewal fee of 1.5% of the limit will also be applied annually. For arranged overdrafts over £25,000, security may be required. Overdrafts are repayable on demand and you must be 18 or over to apply. All charges can be changed, but we’ll let you know before we do this.
Representative example:
Fee-free overdraft up to £1,000 (subject to application, financial circumstances and borrowing history) while you stay within that limit. If you use an overdraft of £1,200, you'll be charged £1.50 a day when you use it.
