An important note...

AER stands for annual equivalent rate and shows what the interest rate would be if interest were paid and compounded each year. (In other words, you earn interest on the interest you leave in your account.)
The gross rate is the rate of interest we pay before we take off income tax at the rate set by law.
EAR is the equivalent annual rate. This is the actual annual cost of an overdraft. It does not take into account fees and charges. Bank of Scotland current accounts and services are offered subject to status. Overdrafts are repayable on demand. Certain exclusions will apply to the insurance cover.  For more details, have a look at the insurance terms and conditions section in your welcome pack.
