Bank overdraft charges

Hello, I am struggling to find information online regarding the % interest charge on being in an overdraft. Barclays bank started this from the 22nd March 2020. Does anyone know if this is still going ahead or is being put on hold, with the current situation? Many thanks. 

Comments

  • I bank with Barclays and HSBC. Barclays emailed me to inform me of help available and it didn’t mention overdrafts. HSBC have increased their fee free overdraft ‘buffer’ from £50 to £300 for 3 months. But anything over that still attracts fees of 39.9%.
    If you’re worried contact your bank and see what they can do to help.
