Business Lending

Interest rates charged for borrowing facilities are negotiable at the time of application and are normally based at a margin above our Bank Base Rate or Bank of England Base Rate (Official Bank Rate). For further details you can contact our branches where bank staff will provide information on how interest is calculated. There is no charge for this explanation.

If however, we are requested to investigate a specific interest calculation there may be a charge for the time and cost involved in this investigation. Details of any charge, if applicable, will be advised to you at the time the service is requested.
