** Fee-free banking applies to this account providing a monthly balance is maintained in excess of £2,500. For balances falling below this threshold during any given charging cycle, a subscription of £10 will be charged for that charging cycle. A charging cycle runs from the 10th of one month to the 9th of the next. The monthly subscription will therefore be debited from your Executive Gold current account, if applicable, on the 9th of the month.

*** If you already have an overdraft we will automatically ensure that the first £30 of your Cheque Account overdraft is interest and fee-free, the first £100 of your Executive Gold overdraft is interest and fee-free and the first £250 of your Executive Platinum overdraft is interest and fee-free. If you do not currently have an overdraft facility then you will need to apply for one and if you are successful the first £30 of your Cheque Account overdraft will be interest and fee-free, the first £100 of your Executive Gold overdraft will be interest and fee-free and the first £250 of your Executive Platinum overdraft will be interest and fee-free. Applicants must be aged 18 years or over. How much we lend will depend on our assessment of your financial circumstances. Overdrafts are repayable in full.
