What fees and charges could I face?

• Referral fee: €5 per item (max of €15 per day) will be applied if a cheque(s) or debit(s) is presented for payment and paid, but there are insufficient cleared funds in the account to meet the debit(s) at the time of presentation. The referral fee will be applied on that day or the next business day.
• Interest rate: 12% per annum as well as the authorized overdraft rate of 15% variable. This is 1% per month greater than the current interest rate on your account. Interest accrues daily and is added to your account quarterly.
• Unpaid items: A charge of €10 will be applied to your current account for all unpaid Direct Debits, Standing Orders or Cheques.
