What you need to know
The Cashplus overdraft is your regular short-term safety net – borrow up to £2,000 when you need an extra helping hand. Just pay off as much as you can, as soon as you can, and you’ll reduce how much you pay in interest.
Eligible
If you’re an existing Cashplus customer, we’ll let you know as soon as you’re eligible for one of our Bank Account Extras via email, Online banking message or SMS.
Apply for your overdraft
Once you’re eligible, it’s as simple as a few taps in the app or Online Banking to add it to your account. Your eligible products will display on your Account Overview screen, or you can visit the Bank Account Extras section.
You can use our overdraft calculator to see the cost of using your overdraft in pounds and pence, which will help you compare the cost to other ways of borrowing.

Just so you know
The first £5 of your overdraft is free to use. We’ll charge you interest on any daily overdraft balance greater than £5. You can find information about your interest rate in your monthly statements.
You will only be able to make payments from your Cashplus account if you stay within your credit limit. Payment attempts which would take you over your overdraft limit will be refused.
It’s important you make at least the minimum payment on time, as paying late or missing a payment can hurt your credit rating. The fastest and cheapest way to clear your balance is to pay it off in full each month. Visit our FAQs page to find out more or contact us.
You’ll be automatically enrolled to receive overdraft alerts which will help you manage your overdraft and avoid charges. We’ll send you an alert to your registered mobile device if you’re about to enter your overdraft, have entered it, or are approaching your limit. You can control these alerts in the app or Online Banking.
