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.
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.
Overdraft Interest varies with Base Rate
Overdrafts are payable on demand.
