Monthly Fee for Maintaining The Account
The Fee for Maintaining The Account applies every month, and we collect the fee in the last few days of every month.
If the Fee For Maintaining The Account is the only fee you need to pay, we won’t send you notice of that (you don’t need more paperwork!). However, if any other fees or interest apply to you, we’ll let you know how much you need to pay and give you at least 14 days’ notice before we take the interest and fees from your account.

(a) going overdrawn when you do not have an Arranged Overdraft; or
(b) going over your Arranged Overdraft limit (if you have one).

2. This cap covers any:
(a) interest for going over your Arranged Overdraft limit; and
(b) fees for each time we Refuse A Payment Due To Lack Of Funds.
£20.00 per calendar month

The amount of the Refusing A Payment Due To Lack Of Funds Fee and debit interest will be notified to you at the end of each calendar month, giving you at least 14 days notice before it is applied to your account.

You'll find full details of our fees in the Club M Account Fee Information Document.

We work out how much interest to pay you at the end of each day. This is based on the money in your account. If your balance is £1,000 or less, we’ll pay interest on the whole balance. If it’s higher, we’ll pay interest on the first £1,000 of your balance. We’ll add any interest to your account on the last working day of the month.

When we talk tax

The terms we use are based on current understanding of UK taxation. We're always reviewing our website to make sure that anything we say about tax is up to date.

  1. AER. The AER (or Annual Equivalent Rate) is the equivalent rate if interest was paid and compounded once a year.
  2. Gross rate. This is interest we pay without deducting income tax.

    We don't deduct tax from any interest we pay you. If your interest is over your Personal Savings Allowance, you'll have to pay any tax directly to HM Revenue and Customs. It'll depend on your circumstances and it might change in the future. For more information please visit, www.gov.uk Link opens in a new window

Additional information

Interest will be paid gross.

Gross rate interest is the interest payable without taking account of any tax payable.

AER (Annual Equivalent Rate). The Annual Equivalent Rate illustrates what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and compounded once each year.

We work out how much interest to pay you at the end of each day. This is based on the money in your account. If your balance is £1,000 or less, we’ll pay interest on the whole balance. If it’s higher, we’ll pay interest on the first £1,000 of your balance. We’ll add any interest to your account on the last working day of the month.
