*The annual percentage rate (APR or TAE) is 11,63%. TAE depends not only on the interest rate, but also on the actual amount used or the duration it remains outstanding. No commissions or fees are charged for the opening, maintenance, or any ancillary services related to the overdraft facility.
Representative rate arranged overdraft example: For an Overdraft of €500 with a nominal annual interest rate (NIR) of 11%, the monthly interest rate is 11% divided by 12, i.e., 0.9167%.
