*Over 95% of student overdraft limits are within the interest free amount with 0% EAR applicable to their whole limit.
How do our overdrafts compare?
A good way to compare the cost of our overdraft with other overdrafts or other ways of borrowing is to look at the APR. The APR shows the cost of borrowing over a year.
