At the end of your 2 year free banking period, you’ll start to incur fees for your everyday transactions. Not applicable to Mettle.

Free banking means the charges for the day to day running of your account (known as your service charge) won’t apply during the free banking period. This also means we will not charge the £8 quarterly account maintenance fee. At the end of this period, you'll be charged standard charges for the day to day running of your account. Other charges such as those for unarranged overdrafts, Bankline, international payments and any additional services are not part of the free banking offer.
