The overdraft interest rates are made up of two parts - the Bank of England Base Rate (BOEBR) and an amount over the BOEBR (known as the 'margin'), which are both variable rates.  We set the margin (on an arranged overdraft) and the unarranged margin (on an unarranged excess).  When the Bank of England Base Rate changes, we change the rate at the beginning of the next business day after the Bank of England announces the change.  We will give you two months written notice before we increase the margin or the unarranged margin that applies to your account.
