Santander What is paid or withdrawn first?

On the 26th of the month my Santander 123 account has a balance of £00.01 and on the 27th of the month I will be charged a £5 fee and get £6 cashback.

Will this put me into my overdraft or will the cashback cancel out the fee first?

    It all depends. Either can come first, even on different days.
  • Hi,


    just had a look at my last statement,


    £5 fee first, then interest added, then cashback added, all on same day.

    what counts is your balance by close of business on a given day (around 8 or 9pm, approx). The sequence of transactions on that day don't matter
  • My understanding is that if your account goes into debit (overdraft), as long as it's back in credit by 16:00 hrs the same day you will not incur an overdraft charge. But why not clarify with Santander just to make sure. :)
