Unauthorised rates and fees expandable section

If you overdraw your account, or exceed an overdraft limit without prior agreement, you’ll be charged the unauthorised Borrowing Interest Rate of 10.85% above the Banking of England Bank rate on this unauthorised borrowing.

The first time you go overdrawn, without an agreed overdraft facility, or exceed your agreed limit with us by £50 or more, you may be charged an Unauthorised Borrowing Fee of £15. After that, the UBF is applied every time you increase your unauthorised borrowing by £50 or more from the previous day’s closing balance, unless a higher limit is agreed with us or until the account is within its existing limit or in credit.

Where you do not have enough money available to make a payment and we do not agree to extend an unauthorised overdraft, you will not be able to make that payment. We charge a £7 fee each time we have to return a payment.
