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.
This account offers an Overdraft facility (subject to status). You can check if you're likely to be accepted for an overdraft using our eligibility tool.
Premier Select customers pay no interest on the first £500 of their arranged overdraft. Looking to understand the costs of an overdraft of more than £500 over different periods of time? Use our cost calculator. The cost calculator does not reflect the up to £500 interest free arranged overdraft buffer on your account. For a more accurate indication of the monthly cost, input the overdraft you intend to use over and above the first £500.
If you don't pay it back, it could have an impact on your credit score.
There are two different types of overdraft:
- An arranged overdraft, which allows you to go overdrawn up to an agreed limit. This is the type of overdraft you could apply for here
- An unarranged overdraft. This is when you spend more money than you have in your current account without already having an arranged overdraft, or when you exceed your current arranged overdraft limit
We charge interest on both types of overdraft. Going in to an unarranged overdraft limit can lead to payments being rejected.
How does our overdraft compare?
A good way to compare the costs of borrowing products is by using the APR, which shows the cost of borrowing over a year.
Representative example: Effective Annual Rate 0% EAR on arranged overdrafts up to £500, 34.49% EAR (variable) above £500. Representative 20.1% APR (variable). Assumed credit limit: £1200.
As an example, the interest cost of using a £500 arranged overdraft is:
Time Period |
Interest Cost |
7 days |
£3.24 |
30 days |
£13.87 |
60 days |
£28.13 |
This is a specific illustrative example representing the interest cost of using a £500 arranged overdraft over periods of 7, 30 and 60 days.
Looking to understand the costs of an overdraft of more or less than £500 over different periods of time? Use our handy cost calculator.
This account offers an overdraft facility (subject to eligibility). You can check if you're likely to be accepted for an overdraft using our eligibility tool.
