Arranged overdraft requests

An arranged overdraft request is when you approach us in advance to set up an overdraft for a period of up to 12 months. Interest rates are individually agreed with you and are linked to a Reference Rate or HSBC’s Currency Base Rate*. Click here for further details.

The debit interest rate margin you pay will be re-assessed each time we review your overdraft facility and may change at this time. If it does we will give you notice of this.

An arrangement fee applies when we agree an arranged overdraft. The facility is normally reviewed annually and a renewal fee taken if it is renewed.

For details of our fees and charges, please see our Business Banking Price List

Unarranged overdraft requests

An unarranged overdraft request is where you do not contact us in advance and you make payments from your account which, if processed by us, would cause it to go overdrawn or go over an existing arranged overdraft limit. Unarranged overdrafts are available at the Bank’s discretion.

For unarranged overdrafts where you have an existing arranged limit and go over this limit, we charge interest at the rate we have agreed with you on balances up to your facility limit and will charge our Currency Standard Debit Interest Rate³ on any balance over your formally arranged limit, unless otherwise agreed with you.

Where you have no existing formally arranged overdraft limit, we will charge our Currency Standard Debit Interest Rate on all debit balances. Click here to see our interest rates

If you anticipate you may want to make frequent informal overdraft requests, it will be cheaper for you to apply in advance for a formal overdraft.

1 Only available to customers with a Relationship Manager.
