Arranged overdraft

Arranged overdrafts allow you to spend more money than you have in your account to an agreed limit. An overdraft is a form of borrowing and is repayable on demand. It can be useful for short term borrowing.

During your application for an arranged overdraft, we'll run a full credit check to determine your overdraft limit. If you don't repay what you borrow, you could harm your credit score and borrowing capability.

How do overdrafts work?

To speed up your application for our Select account, we need to do a few final checks with you. They'll only take a minute.

What would you like to do today?

You're all set

We'll open up the application form in your phone's web browser

It will be pre-populated with your details, so won't take long to complete.

Here's what to do next

We’ve made a few changes to how we open joint bank accounts.

The button below takes you to a dedicated page explaining exactly what you need to open your account.

As a summary:

1. You create a joint account by adding the second applicant to an existing account 

2. You can either add the second applicant to an existing account, or if you’d like a completely new account, one of you can open a new account and then add the second applicant once it’s open. 

You're all set

During the application, you'll need the account number and sort code of the account you want to change. You can find these in your app/Anytime Banking.

As you’re changing your existing account to another, you’ll:

  • Keep your existing sort code, account number and debit card. Your existing standing orders and direct debits will stay the same.  
  • Retain your arranged overdraft limit. 
  • See no impact to your credit rating.

If you're a non-UK resident, once your account has changed to a Select account you'll be unable to upgrade to our ufirstgold account.

You're all set

Please have the account number, sort code and debit card number of the bank account you want to switch to Ulster Bank. 

The current account switch service will move everything across from your old bank account to your existing Ulster Bank account within 7 working days.
