Overdrafts

Business overdrafts for fast, short-term financing

Most businesses need an overdraft at some point for short-term financing. Our secured and unsecured business overdrafts are designed to meet these needs. And because interest is only payable on the amount you’re overdrawn, on the days you are overdrawn, it’s a clear, straightforward way to borrow. Talk to our team on 0845 607 0666. Details of our fees and charges can be found in the table below.

Why choose a business overdraft?

  • Individual approach: each application is carefully considered to make sure it meets your needs
  • Straightforward: because your business overdraft is linked to your Abbey Business Account it’s an easy way to access your cash
  • Competitive rates: our rates are linked to the base rate and you only pay on the amount you overdraw, on the days you are overdrawn. Typical 6.40% EAR (variable)
  • Choice: we offer secured and unsecured options, designed to make accessing extra business finance simple
  • Regular reviews: we’ll review your business overdraft each year to make sure it still suits you

Please call 0845 607 0666 to arrange an overdraft on your Business Bank Account

Lines are open Monday to Friday 8am to 9pm and Saturdays 8am to 1pm

Please note: a business overdraft is only available on the Abbey Business Bank Account and not the Business Reserve Account.

An Advance Overdraft is a facility on our bank account that lets you borrow extra money when you don’t have enough. You must agree the limit with us beforehand. We will treat you as having asked for an Instant Overdraft if you make a payment which would cause your account to go overdrawn without an Advance Overdraft in place or cause your account to go over your existing Advance Overdraft limit. Different Service Fees and interest rates will apply and are shown below.
