Request for new overdraft or change to overdraft limit from an Existing Customer
We ask you to consider what overdraft limit would cover your needs. When considering this you should think carefully about how you will be
able to repay. You may wish to consider alternative borrowing options, such as a credit card or loan, which may be more suitable for your
needs.
Your overdraft application will be subject to a credit assessment which may include a search of your (and any joint account holders) credit
file. The level of overdraft we can provide is dependent on an assessment of your personal financial circumstances; the amount you request
may not be the amount you receive. We aim to process your application within 7 working days and if approved we will confirm your
overdraft limit by post, although you will be able to access it as soon as it is applied to your account. You can ask us to reduce or remove
your overdraft at any time.
Joint Account Holder
Please ensure you have the joint account holder's consent to provide their information and apply for an immediate overdraft on their
behalf. Each of you is jointly and severally liable for the overdraft even if the relationship with the other joint borrower ends and you can be
individually called upon to repay the entire overdraft amount.
To apply for an overdraft or amend your overdraft limit, you and any joint account holder need to be:
- Aged 18 years or over
