^ There is no cap on arranged overdraft interest or charges. If you exceed your arranged overdraft limit you won’t be charged any interest on the portion of your balance which is above your limit but arranged interest will still apply to the portion of your balance within your limit.
*Interest is paid on entire balance up to £25,000.

*Payments and cash withdrawals made in the local currency. The 0% foreign conversion fee is applied 3 working days after you have opened or transferred to the Santander Edge or Santander Edge Up current account. If you use your debit card outside the UK before then, the standard foreign currency conversion fee of 2.95% will apply. This fee is non-refundable. Local banks may charge their own fees when you use one of their cash machines and you should make sure you understand what these are before making a withdrawal.
**We won't charge you when you use your debit card to make withdrawals at Santander cash machines abroad. Make sure you choose to pay in the local currency to avoid being charged any other fees.

On accounts where we pay interest, interest is received gross, with no income tax deducted. Take a look at our information pages to learn more
