Overdrafts

An overdraft offers you a short-term finance facility for any fluctuating borrowing requirements that you may have. It can be an ideal source of temporary funding when your business expenses are less predictable.

A Barclays overdraft can offer you the following benefits:

  • A convenient and flexible source of working capital finance.
    Within your agreed overdraft limit, finance is available without restriction. You can overdraw to suit your requirements and repay overdrawn balances when you have surplus cash. You're not tied to specific dates for drawdown or repayment, and although the maximum term is 12 months, it can be renewed prior to expiry.
  • Cost minimisation
    You pay interest only on the funds you use, for as long as you have them. And because the interest margin is linked to the Barclays Base rate, you obtain your finance at minimum cost.
  • Reduced exchange rates.
    With a currency overdraft, you can match your foreign currency borrowing to your anticipated receipts in that currency. This can allow you to avoid the effects of any unfavourable movement in the exchange rate between the time you borrow the funds and the time you repay them.
