Going into unarranged overdraft briefly

I recently went on holiday and spent on my Monzo card. At the end I transferred my money back to my current account. Unfortunately the exchange rate changed so I was charged more than I was expecting. So I went into my unarranged overdraft by around 30p. I transferred money back into my Monzo account within minutes. Will this affect my credit score?

    They're very unlikely to report it to the CRAs if you resolved it within the day.

    For the small amount of time I agree they are unlikely to report it.
    You could ask on the Monzo forums.
    Your credit score isn't seen by lenders, your history is whats important.
