# If, without agreement, your current account goes overdrawn or you go over your overdraft limit, we will charge you interest on the amount of your overdraft that has not been arranged at the rate that we set for unarranged overdrafts.

*  EAR is the Equivalent Annual Rate. If we agree to let your clients have an overdraft, we will decide the overdraft limit and tell your client what it is. Overdrafts are repayable on demand.

**  AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and illustrates what the interest would be if interest was paid and compounded each year. The gross rate is the contractual rate of interest payable before the deduction of income tax at the rate specified by law. The net rate is the rate of interest payable after allowing for the deduction of income tax at the specified rate (currently 20%).

Unarranged overdrafts and payments that are not paid when they are meant to be are not taken into account for the balance netting calculation.

If the Bank of England base rate moves up, the rate on the Cash ISA will change within one calendar month to at least the Bank of England base rate.
