    What's the interest rate (EAR) on the overdraft?

    What's the average balance throughout the month?

    Are you incurring fees and unauthorised rate debit interest as well?
  • Not sure what my normal interest rate is on my overdraft, but i have been charged loads i get it back in within the overdraft limit then they charge me and take it over so i've ended up putting overdraft limit up just yesterday, when i go over the limit the the unauthorised rate is 1.45% per month.
