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?

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. 

Get started

  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, once your account has changed to a Premier Select, you'll be unable to upgrade to any Reward accounts.
