An overdraft could give you peace of mind by allowing you to make payments when you have run out of money in your account. It can help you through expensive months like December or unexpected costs such as an emergency plumber.
1. Each current account will set a monthly maximum charge for:
2. This cap covers any:
The introduction of the Monthly Maximum Charge will not affect any charging period that ended prior to 1st August 2017. Any notification of charges that are generated on or after 1st August 2017 will incorporate the new Monthly Maximum Charge cap.
Further details, including the level of the monthly cap applicable to each account, can be found in the more details section below.
If you make more than one payment on the same day we take this as one overdraft request and only charge one fee. You cannot apply for an overdraft on Basic JNV Account (or any savings accounts).
There are no overdraft usage fees on JNV JNV Account, Student JNV Accounts or JNV Account Pay Monthly.

An arranged request occurs when you approach us to arrange an overdraft limit.
There is no overdraft fee for agreeing an arranged limit and it gives you greater control of your finances – you'll have an agreed limit within which you know items will be paid without incurring any overdraft fees. It's important to choose an adequate limit because if you go over it you may be charged daily overdraft usage fees, see our Charges and Additional Product Terms (PDF) for full details.
Your overdraft limit will be agreed until further notice, we will review the facility annually and contact you if we will be making any changes.
An unarranged request is when you authorise a payment that would take your account overdrawn or beyond your arranged limit without agreeing in advance an overdraft to cover it.
We will always consider an unarranged request and will make the payment if we can, subject to status. If approved the overdraft will be provided for 31 days to cover the item concerned.
If your overdraft limit is adequate and you don't go above it, all you need pay is the overdraft interest. We only charge a daily unarranged overdraft usage fee if you are more than $10 in your unarranged overdraft, see Charges and Additional Product Terms (PDF) for full details.
We will always try to make your payments even if you do not have sufficient cleared funds in your account and the payment would take you over any arranged overdraft facility.
Remember, it's more cost effective to arrange an adequate arranged overdraft than rely on unarranged overdrafts.
To try to help you avoid overdraft fees, we will send you overdraft text alerts if we've agreed an unarranged overdraft on your account. We will also send you a text alert if there isn't sufficient cleared funds available, in your account, to make a payment. You can opt out of receiving these text messages by calling us.
There are also several other ways you can keep an eye on where your balance is in relation to your overdraft limit:
If you keep within your arranged overdraft limit the only cost you need pay is interest. Here are the rates that apply to overdrafts on our accounts, at a glance.

Every month we will review your account to make sure your overdraft borrowing is suitable, based on your salary or other income. If we feel that your overdraft borrowing may be too much compared to your income, we will contact you to let you know an appropriate amount to pay in. We will also explain how we may be able to help, in the short and long term, if you are unable to pay in this amount.
JNV Account Pay Monthly was specially introduced to help customers keep a firmer grip on their account.
You can request an arranged overdraft facility. You can request an arranged overdraft limit, but whether you have an arranged overdraft limit or not, we'll also provide you with an automatic $50 overdraft buffer on top as a safety net. We'll charge overdraft interest on any arranged overdraft balance, but we wont charge for use of the $50 buffer (effective from 1 August 2017).
The key difference with JNV Account Pay Monthly is that any payment requests that take you over your arranged limit and your $50 buffer will normally be refused. However when payments are returned your credit rating may be affected.
To help you manage your finances, we send text alerts the morning after your balance reaches 60%, 80% or 95% of your overdraft limit. We will send an unpaid text alert when we have made a decision not to pay a Direct Debit, Standing Order, future dated Bill Payment or Cheque due to there being insufficient available balance on your account. You then have until 3.30pm, on the day it is due to be paid, to pay in cleared funds and we will then make the payment. We also offer the Pay Monthly Money Calendar, a quick, interactive tool to help you take an objective look at your spending. JNV Account Pay Monthly is currently available for a fee of $10 a month.
Representative Example: 19.9% EAR variable (assumed overdraft $1,200).
