What you'll get with an overdraft from Ulster Bank

An arranged overdraft allows you to go overdrawn up to an agreed limit. So, if you’re short of cash, an arranged overdraft could help to cover an unplanned expense. Think of it as a short-term safety net.

Features and benefits

Before you apply

Overdrafts explained

First things first. There are 2 types of overdrafts – arranged and unarranged. Both types will cost you money in interest when you use them. It’s important you know the difference, so we’ll cover it off here.

Student arranged overdraft

When you're about to enter the world of work, your day to day expenses could change. That's where our Student overdraft could help.

Unarranged overdrafts

An unarranged overdraft is when you spend more money than you have in your account without already having an arranged overdraft in place, or when you exceed your current arranged overdraft limit.

If you're accepted

Manage your overdraft online or in the app

You can manage spending and increase, reduce or remove your overdraft limit quickly online and in our mobile app.

We'll send you text alerts

We'll keep you updated using our free text alert service if you start to use an arranged or an unarranged overdraft.

Interest-free

You can apply for an arranged overdraft of up to £1,000, interest-free after your first term (subject to approval).
