The results show how much interest you will pay along with the indicative arrangement fee and the total sum to be repaid.

Further information regarding overdrafts for personal current account clients
Introduction
An option we provide for clients who wish to borrow money on a flexible basis are our overdrafts. We offer two different types of arranged overdraft, a secured overdraft for clients who wish to borrow larger sums of money and security is required, typically against property. We also offer unsecured overdrafts where smaller sums are borrowed. All overdrafts are typically intended for short-term use and are not generally suitable for longer-term borrowing. For both of these types of overdraft we review the arrangement with clients on an annual basis to ensure that they are still appropriate.
Arranged overdrafts
This is a borrowing limit on current accounts that we agree with clients in advance, so it is there when needed. Before establishing this type of overdraft, clients will need to contact their Private Banker to agree requirements. Clients will pay Arranged Overdraft interest on the amount of money that is borrowed, and may pay an arrangement fee for the setup of the facility which will be agreed on an individual basis. The overdraft is repayable on demand, which means you can be asked to repay the outstanding balance at any time, although we will normally give you notice.
Unarranged overdrafts
This is where clients borrow from us when there is no money left in their current account or when they have gone past the Arranged Overdraft limit, and this has not been agreed with us in advance. Clients will pay interest at the Unarranged Overdraft interest rate, unless they have an Arranged Overdraft limit where clients will continue to pay interest at their agreed rate, but will not pay any further overdraft fees.
Where clients do not have enough money in their account to cover a payment, we may refuse to make this payment and clients may then be charged an ‘Unpaid Item Fee’.
You should aim to repay your overdraft borrowing as quickly as possible and use it responsibly as any misuse may have an adverse effect on your credit record.
Following an Arranged Overdraft limit being agreed and put in place, you can request the reduction or removal of the limit at any time by contacting your Private Banker who will discuss your ongoing requirements with you.
Our Overdraft calculator (above) indicates the charges incurred by different typical overdraft arrangements.
