What is the interest rate being charged on our products?

Smilemore has an automatic £260 interest free overdraft amount. You will be charged debit interest at an annual interest rate of 35.9% when you enter an arranged or unarranged overdraft above your interest free amount.

How do our overdrafts compare?

A good way to compare the cost of our overdraft with other overdrafts or other ways of borrowing is to look at the APR. The APR shows the cost of borrowing over a year.
