Overdraft Accounts
Overdraft Accounts are current accounts with authorized limits used by businesses or entrepreneurs for working capital management.
The size of the overdraft facility, the security provided by the borrower (business assets, personal guarantees provided by the directors or third-party guarantees, covenants etc), the financial standing of applicants as well as the overdraft turnover, are all taken into consideration in the decision for granting or maintaining the overdraft facility from then on. The timeframe for assessing applications for overdraft facilities varies based mainly on the readiness of the company to submit the requested information for evaluation.
Interest charge on the accounts applies twice yearly and is calculated based on the daily utilization of the limit, at a rate agreed with the Bank. The overdraft account additionally bears maintenance fees, interest charged on arrears where applicable, charges for the utilization of uncleared funds, fees related to the provision of professional services and any other expenses related to the operation of the account.
The overdraft limit is renewed on an annual basis and is repayable on demand by the Bank.
Each account is assigned to a Client Relationship Officer who is always there to assist you through the application process and operation of the overdraft thereafter.
