Overdrafts

Support for regular overdraft users

Are you using your overdraft to cover day to day expenses?

We are taking steps to support customers who use their overdraft in a way that could result in avoidable charges. 

There are ways we could help you manage your finances and use your overdraft for short term expenses rather than day to day living. 

Take control of your overdraft limit

Reducing your overdraft balance and limit will help you control how much your overdraft costs you. You can do this at anytime in our  mobile app or if you would rather bring your limit down gradually, you can set up a personalised plan to do this.
