Very disappointing. Eventhough it says interest free they do CHARGE A RIDICULOUSLY HIGH AMOUNT!! Speaking from experience! I overdrew with less than £0.40 (thats 40PENCE!!!) and was charged £38 pounds! This happend three times. I've switched now!

Be aware of the high overdraft offer. Whilst they did offer me UP TO £3000 I think it is very unlikely I will get that in year 1 or even in future years. Out of all the banks I spoke to they actually offered me the lowest. I have an average credit rating; I ' m 22 and have been employed for 6 ...
