Note 1. AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and shows what the interest would be if we paid interest and added it each year. Rates may change and we pay interest each month.
Note 2. EAR stands for Effective Annual Rate and represents the annual cost of an overdraft, which takes into account how often interest is charged to the account, and does not include any other fees or charges. Overdrafts depend on your circumstances and you must repay any overdraft when we ask in line with our General Terms and Conditions.
Note 3. We will not pay you interest on any amount over £2,500, or on your whole balance if you do not make the required monthly payments of £1,000
Note 4. 0% EAR overdraft will apply for the first year if you switch using our Account Transfer Service. If you choose not to switch to Santander you will receive an overdraft rate of 12.9% EAR typical (variable). If you do not pay in £1000 each month the overdraft rate will be 19.9% EAR
