When considering applying for an overdraft with the Everyday Extra account, remember you need to:
Overdrafts are intended for short term borrowing and not suitable for long term borrowing.
An arranged overdraft is a set amount you've agreed with us in advance. You will be charged debit interest when you use your arranged overdraft.
Make sure you've read our overdrafts information whether you're intending to apply for one or not, so you know about arranged and unarranged overdrafts.
Check your eligibility for an overdraft
You can check if you are likely to get accepted for an overdraft using our eligibility checker.

Calculate the cost of an overdraft based on how you might use it with our overdraft calculator.
Overdrafts are intended for short term borrowing and not suitable for long term borrowing.
An arranged overdraft is a set amount you've agreed with us in advance. You will be charged debit interest when you use your arranged overdraft.
You'll go into an unarranged overdraft if you go over your arranged limit or your account balance falls below £0 without an arranged overdraft in place. You will be charged debit interest for going into an unarranged overdraft.
Your payments might be refused if you try to go overdrawn without having arranged an overdraft.
Any type of borrowing shows on your credit file. However, an unarranged overdraft shows as arrears which can negatively impact your credit file and may make it harder for you to obtain credit in the future.
You will be charged debit interest when you enter into an arranged and/or unarranged overdraft at an annual interest rate of 35.9%.
More information on account charges
You can find out more about our overdrafts, including how to apply for a new limit, or change an overdraft limit you already have, by visiting our overdrafts page. You must make regular payments into your account to reduce the amount you owe.
If you already have an arranged overdraft limit with us, which you'd like to remove, you can do this by contacting us.
To help manage your money and avoid/minimise debit interest you might pay, we send overdraft text alerts if you go into or you're about to go into an arranged or unarranged overdraft. We will also send alerts if you have payments due that may not be paid.
As long as we have your mobile number, you'll be automatically opted in for overdraft text alerts. You can opt out of arranged and/or unarranged overdraft alerts at any time by contacting us.

Approval is based on a credit check, an assessment of your personal circumstances and is subject to status.
If you wish to switch an account to us and an overdraft forms part of your decision to do so, please wait for confirmation of your overdraft before making an application to switch.
We have a £60 cap on interest for any type of overdraft (arranged overdraft or unarranged overdraft) in one charging period. This is the maximum you will ever pay for using an overdraft per charging period.
The monthly cap refers to the charges applied in a charging period not a calendar month. Please refer to the Account Charges Leaflet (PDF) for details of the charging periods.
Below is a standard definition to allow you to compare unarranged overdraft charges across different providers. Fees are included in the comparison, but we choose not to charge you fees for payments where you have a lack of funds.
Each current account will set a monthly maximum charge for:
a) Going overdrawn when you have not arranged an overdraft.
b) Going over or past your arranged overdraft limit (if you have one).
This cap covers any:
a) Interest and fees for going over or 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.

How does our overdraft compare?
The representative APR provided can enable you to compare the costs across different products and providers.
How much does my overdraft cost in pounds and pence?
As an example, the interest cost of borrowing £500 is
7 days: £2.98
30 days: £12.76
60 days: £25.66
This is based on borrowing £500 on the first day of our charging period and assumes this overdrawn balance remains until it is repaid at the end of 7, 30 or 60 days. This example does not include any interest-free amounts that are provided on some accounts.
