The table below gives some examples of our charges for making payments from your account when you haven’t enough money.
We developed these examples with the Office of Fair Trading and leading consumer groups to help you to think about how changing the way you use your account can affect the amount we may charge you.
These examples are meant to show how different actions can result in different charges. They are only examples so you shouldn’t see them as actions you might take and charges you might have to pay.
We may not allow you to use your account in the ways shown below. You should avoid using unplanned borrowing wherever possible and you should contact us if you need help to manage your account.
We could add other charges and interest to your account if you try to make payments when you do not have enough money. For details of all the charges and interest rates for our current accounts, click here.
