All rates quoted are correct at time of going to press.

Note 1: For the International (Sterling) Account the EAR quoted does not take into account the subscription fee. The Planned and Unplanned Overdraft borrowing rate EAR is calculated on the same basis.

Note 2: The US Dollar and Euro Accounts are not designed to be used for the receipt of notes or coin, or for the withdrawal of cash (except by using the US Dollar Debit card to withdraw US dollar notes in the USA).

* The conversion fee is only applicable when the transaction is in different currency to that of the card. For example, the fee does not apply when using a US Dollar Debit Card to draw US dollars in cash, or to purchase goods and services in the United States, but does apply when used in the UK.

** Plus charges levied by the correspondent bank abroad.

*** These accounts are not designed to be used for receipt of notes or coins. Please contact your International Banking Team if you need this service.

**** There may also be adverse exchange rate movement.
