Features

Arranged overdraft

Arranged overdrafts allow you to spend more money than you have in your account to an agreed limit. An overdraft is a form of borrowing and is repayable on demand. It can be useful for short term borrowing.

We'll run a full credit check to determine your overdraft limit. If you don't repay what you borrow, you could harm your credit score and borrowing capability.

How do overdrafts work?

Get up to £1,000 when you switch to Premier

Get started

You’ll need to change your existing account to a Premier Reward account. To do this, follow the steps below.

  1. Head back to your mobile app home screen.
  2. Select the account you wish to change.
  3. Once selected, go to ‘Change my account type’ to find options for changing. 

If you're a non-UK resident, we can only change your account to our Premier Select account.

You're all set

Your application will be completely online, and you won't need to post us any information or visit a branch.

Tell us a bit about yourself and we’ll set up your account.

  • Our partner Mitek will then check your identity by matching you to your Photo ID. Your Photo ID must be a Passport, UK or EU/EEA Driving Licence or an EU/EEA National ID card.
  • We might also ask for a valid proof of address. If you don't have your ID to hand you can finish this step later.
  • Once they’ve confirmed your identity we’ll activate your account. 

Here's what to do next

We’ve made a few changes to how we open joint bank accounts.

The button below takes you to a dedicated page explaining exactly what you need to open your account.

As a summary:

  1. You create a joint account by adding the second applicant to an existing account
  2. You can either add the second applicant to an existing account, or if you’d like a completely new account, one of you can open a new account and then add the second applicant once it’s open.
