What is a Business Overdraft?
It’s a flexible short-term lending option for businesses. A Business Overdraft works as a safety net for unexpected expenses, where you may not have sufficient balance when awaiting payments from customers. With our overdraft, you only pay interest on what you borrow, without a minimum requirement for your repayments.

- Interest on your account is calculated daily, based on your end of day balance and rate and charged to your account quarterly.
- Representative EAR (Effective Annual Rate) is used for comparison purposes and shows the annual interest rate we reasonably expect at least 51% of customers who are accepted for and enter into the overdraft agreement to get. It is calculated by using the rate of interest charged if you remained overdrawn for a year, the frequency with which interest is charged, and the effect of compound interest on your debt. The Representative EAR does not include other fees or charges
