If you use your credit card abroad and make transactions other than in sterling, the amount of each transaction will be changed to sterling. We will use the market rate obtained by Visa International. We will charge a conversion fee of 2.75% of the amount of each foreign currency transaction. The sterling amount shown on your statement will include this charge.

Item  EAR* AER**/Gross Monthly interest Cross p.a
Credit Balance   2.75% 2.72%
Authorised overdraft 9.80%    
Unauthorised overdraft 25.00%    

*  EAR is the Equivalent Annual Rate. If we agree to let you have an overdraft, we will decide your overdraft limit and tell you 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 specified by law (currently 20%). The net rate is the rate of interest payable after allowing for the deduction of income tax at the specified rate.

Unauthorised overdrafts and payments you do not pay when you are meant to are not taken into account for the balance netting calculation.

We pay interest net of income tax (at the lower rate, currently 20%) unless you have completed a registration form or made a declaration to comply with Inland Revenue regulations. If you are a higher rate taxpayer additional income tax is due on the interest we pay.

***   Mini cash ISA maximum deposit of £3,000 in the current tax year.

You should consider your income tax position when deciding which products to have in your Intelligent Finance plan, whether you wish to be paid interest on your savings each month or once a year and which option you want us to use for the balanced netting calculation.

If the Bank of England base rate moves up, the rate on the mini cash ISA and TESSA - only ISA will change within one calendar month to at least 0.3% above the Bank of England base rate.

Please note that it is no longer possible to apply for a TESSA - only ISA.
