Either it's very expensive to use an arranged overdraft with the co-op, or MSE's penchant for providing incorrect/out-of-date information strikes again.Informal charge (applied when you go over the buffer into your arranged overdraft)
£10/day
£20/day
Edit: Indeed, it appears there is no daily charge for using an arranged overdraft, although they do charge interest.

Hi tripled, thanks for this - i've tweaked the copy to say there's a £10/day charge for arranged overdraft customers who go above the buffer and above their agreed overdraft limit.0

The copy also saysBuffer (allows you to go into your arranged overdraft by a set amount before fees are charged)
Up to £20
Up to £20
My understanding according to that document is that the buffer only applies to informal overdrafts. There is no reference to a "buffer" before incurring interest on an arranged overdraft that I can see!0 -
Hi tripled, I checked with Co-op as it said the buffer was available to all customers - I asked whether this was for both customers with an arranged and an unarranged overdraft and it confirmed this was correct. So say if you have a £1,000 overdraft and you go above this limit, you get the extra £20 buffer too.0

In which case wouldn't that be "over your arranged overdraft" as oppsed to "into your arranged overdraft"?0 -
I think that's a fair point to avoid confusion - thanks tripled.0
