Fee Cap
The Fee Cap is a monthly cap on Unarranged Overdraft charges. The Fee Cap is the most you'd pay each month in interest and fees combined.

1. Each current account will set a monthly maximum charge for:
(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 Flexible Repay & Rapid Repay Fee Information Documents.

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.uk2.
  3. EAR. The effective annual rate (EAR) is the cost of borrowing on current accounts. This takes into account the rate of interest charged, how often it’s charged and the fact that if interest is not paid, you'll pay interest on interest. The EAR can change.

* Every day, we work out the interest on your cleared credit balance. Then we pay it into your account on the last working day of each month.

Overdraft interest rates

We'll work out the interest you need to pay using the amount you're borrowing at the end of each day. We'll charge the interest the next month
