Overdraft details

How do overdrafts work?

An arranged overdraft can be useful for short term borrowing. Understand arranged and unarranged overdrafts and their impact on your account. An overdraft is a form of borrowing and is repayable on demand.

How much will an overdraft cost?

Understand the cost and impact of overdrafts and whether you're eligible to apply for one. If you don't repay what is owed, you could harm your credit score and borrowing capability.

Switch offer

Changing your existing account doesn't qualify you for our switching offer.

To qualify, you need to switch and close a current account held with another bank to your Royal Bank account. See our Switch page for more information.

 

If you're happy to change your account to Reward Black please continue.

You're all set

During the application, you'll need the account number and sort code of the account you want to change. You can find these in your app/Digital Banking.

As you're changing your existing account to another, you’ll:

  • Keep your existing sort code, account number and debit card. Your existing standing orders and direct debits will stay the same.
  • Retain your arranged overdraft limits.
  • See no impact to your credit rating.

You’re all set

You’ll need these bits of info handy for your application:

  • The account number, sort code and debit card number of the bank account you want to switch to Royal Bank
  • The account number and sort code of your existing Royal Bank current account

The Current Account Switch Service will move everything across from your old bank account to your Royal Bank current account within 7 working days. 

Please note, a partial switch does not qualify for any switch incentives we may offer.
