Business Overdraft

You can apply online to increase or decrease your overdraft facility.

If you no longer need a business overdraft fill in this form. It can take up to 3 working days to complete your request. If you need help call us on 0345 366 5592 (Relay UK 18001 0345 366 5592)

You’ll need the personal details of all the partners, members, directors or signatories of the business (including their home addresses for the last 3 years). You’ll also need your business details, including your Company’s Registration Number (provided by Companies House) if you’re a limited company. Also, details of any countries you or your business is registered for tax purposes in and details of your business' year end accounts or cashflow forecasts. Find out more in the "Ready to apply" section below, which will help you to prepare.

Yes, it’s possible to have both a loan and an overdraft. It’s all based on your overall approved credit.

If you're an existing customer, it’s really important that your personal and business details are close matches to what we have on your file. If they're different, it will be worth updating them before you apply.

If in doubt, please check what is on file at Companies House and update any out of date information before you apply.

Please be accurate with your income declaration. If we believe you can't afford the repayments on the amount you apply, you may be declined.

For instance, if you declare an income of £250,000 and we see £180,000 going through your Ulster Bank account, your application may be referred or declined.

You will need to speak to your relationship manager if you wish to borrow more than £50,000, or if your aggregate debt with us exceeds £50,000.

A Business Overdraft allows you to pay for transactions that would take your account balance below £0, making it a safety measure for emergencies where you might be awaiting payment or transfers from clients.

You'll only pay interest on the amount you borrow. But there is a setup fee that's connected to the size of overdraft you apply for. Please see the table below for a breakdown of our fees:

If you exceed your agreed Business Overdraft limit you will be charged an unarranged borrowing rate and be subject to unpaid / paid item fees.
