EAR stands for Equivalent Annual Rate (variable) and is an illustrative interest rate calculated on the assumption that any overdraft interest charged is added to the overdraft balance at the time and then the next interest charge will be based on that slightly higher overdraft balance. This rate assumes that interest is charged monthly and compounded 12 times in a year.

AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and illustrates what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and compounded once each year. As every advertisement for a savings product which quotes an interest rate will contain an AER, it enables a customer to compare different products on a standardised basis, and the return they can expect from a savings account over time.

Gross rates are variable. Interest is paid gross, without the deduction of tax.

Interest rates may vary from time to time. Interest will be paid gross without the deduction of tax.

Our overdraft interest rates are made of two parts: the Bank of Ireland UK base rate which from 4 August 2023 is 5.25% and a margin rate.  The interest rate is variable and will change if either part changes. We publish our base rate on our website, in our branches and on your account statement. Any changes to the base rate or any decrease in the margin rate will normally take effect immediately. If we increase the margin rate we’ll give you 60 days’ notice.


Bank of Ireland UK Base Rate 5.25% correct as at 4 August 2023.

Overdraft Interest varies with Base Rate

Overdrafts are payable on demand.
