To make comparing bank products easier for you, banks are setting a maximum monthly charge for unarranged borrowing fees. Each bank may charge different fees, but all banks are explaining it the same way, with the same wording.
Monthly cap on unarranged overdraft charges
- Each current account will set a monthly maximum charge for:
a) Going overdrawn when you have not arranged an overdraft.
b) Going over/past your arranged overdraft limit (if you have one).
- This cap covers:
a) Interest for going over/past your arranged overdraft limit.
b) Fees for each payment your bank allows despite lack of funds.
c) Fees for each payment your bank refuses due to lack of funds.
Explanation of terms
Gross rate
The contractual rate of interest payable before deduction of income tax at the rate specified by law.
AER
AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and illustrates what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and compounded once each year.
EAR
EAR is the Equivalent Annual Rate. This is the actual annual rate of an overdraft. It doesn't take into account other fees and charges.
Interest is normally paid at the net rate unless the account falls within an exempt category or the account holder qualifies to receive interest gross. Interest rates may vary from time to time. All rates are per annum except where stated.
