3 I want to see exactly what you charge me Island Premier rates and charges This guide covers the main charges for services on your Island Premier account. If you ask for any service not listed here, we will tell you the cost before providing it. Our charges are reviewed from time to time, and we will send you details of any changes to our core banking charges before putting them into effect. Island Premier current account Charges When the Cleared Balance on your current account remains at least 5,000 in credit throughout the monthly billing period When your account balance falls below 5,000 at any time during the monthly billing period Rates Charged on overdrafts Free % per month % EAR 251 5, % 14.43% 15 monthly fee Borrowing from us* An overdraft is where, as part of our overall service, we are willing to lend you money through your current account. We provide two types of overdraft: a Planned Overdraft and an Unplanned Overdraft. If you decide you need an overdraft, you can ask us in advance for a Planned Overdraft. You can also ask to increase an existing Planned Overdraft limit at any time. If you try to make a payment but do not have enough available money in your account, we will treat this as a request for an Unplanned Overdraft to cover that payment. We will either agree to your request or you will not be able to make that payment. Fees will be charged in either case. Please see your account Terms and Conditions for more details about overdrafts and available funds. You will also normally be charged interest on the amount borrowed under a Planned or Unplanned Overdraft. All overdrafts are repayable on demand. * All lending is subject to application and approval. How much we lend, if any, is subject to our assessment of your circumstances. Overdrafts are repayable on demand. 5,001 10, % 12.16% 10, % 11.77% EAR EAR is the Equivalent Annual Rate. This is the actual annual rate of an overdraft. It doesn t take into account other fees and charges. 1

4 Overdraft buffers If you go beyond the agreed limit of a Planned Overdraft by 10 or less you will not pay any overdraft fees or debit interest. If you go into an Unplanned Overdraft by 10 or less you will not pay any overdraft fees but you will pay debit interest. If you go into a Planned or Unplanned Overdraft by more than 10 there will be charges and debit interest to pay on the whole amount. In addition, if you have a Planned Overdraft, we will not charge you any Unplanned Overdraft Fees if your Unplanned Overdraft is no more than 50. Overdraft fees We will charge you the following fees for all overdrafts, whether Planned Overdrafts or Unplanned Overdrafts: Fee Amount Description Monthly Overdraft Usage Fee 6 You will only pay this fee if you use a Planned Overdraft or Unplanned Overdraft by more than 10 at any time during your monthly billing period (even if your next monthly billing period is only a few days away). If you have an interest and fee-free Planned Overdraft limit that has been agreed as part of your account you won t pay the 6 fee if you stay within that limit or exceed it by 10 or less. We will charge you a maximum of one Monthly Overdraft Usage Fee in a monthly billing period. We will not charge you any other fees for a Planned Overdraft, but you will normally be charged interest on the amount borrowed. If we agree to your request for an Unplanned Overdraft, we will charge you the following fees: Fee Amount Description Daily Fee Unplanned Overdraft balance is: 10 or less 0 (Buffer applies) More than 10 but less than 25 5 a day 25 or more 10 a day You will pay a daily fee for using an Unplanned Overdraft. The amount of the fee will be worked out at the end of each day (including weekends and Bank Holidays) on the balance of your Unplanned Overdraft. We will charge you a maximum of eight daily fees in a monthly billing period. In addition, if you have a Planned Overdraft, we will not charge you these Unplanned Overdraft Fees if your Unplanned Overdraft is no more than 50. An overdraft continues until it is repaid. So, at the start of any monthly billing period, if you still have an overdraft from the previous monthly billing period, you will incur a further monthly Overdraft Usage Fee and, if it is an Unplanned Overdraft, up to another eight daily fees (depending on when you pay it back). Unplanned Overdrafts are intended to be used for short-term borrowing. You will find it cheaper to ask for a new or increased Planned Overdraft that meets your needs, rather than using an Unplanned Overdraft. 2

5 Returned items Where you do not have enough available money to make a payment and we do not agree to give you or extend an Unplanned Overdraft, you will not be able to make that payment. We will write to tell you we have declined your request. We will charge you 10 for each item we decline to pay (maximum of three fees a day). Avoiding overdraft charges If your account goes over its limit, you ll have until 3:30pm (UK time) to pay money into your account to avoid Returned Item Fees and ensure the payment goes out, but you have until midnight to avoid overdraft fees and interest. The money needs to be immediately available to use, so you could transfer money from another personal account you have with us via Internet Banking or Telephone Banking or pay in cash over the counter in branch. Cash withdrawals using your Premier debit card Cash withdrawals abroad (whether at an ATM or over the counter) When you withdraw cash abroad normally we convert a withdrawal to sterling on the day it is processed by Visa using the Visa Payment Scheme Exchange Rate.
