Scale of charges

From 1st June 2006, our scale of charges is as follows :

Interest

Interest is accrued daily on all credit balances in excess of £5,000. Our top rate of interest applies to personal account balances over £10,000 and business account balances over £25,000. Interest is credited to the account quarterly. Interest rates for loans and overdrafts are agreed with clients. Unauthorised overdrafts may attract a rate of interest not exceeding 4% over Adam & Company's Base Rate.

Charges

There are no transaction charges for clients who maintain an average credit balance of £5,000 during a charging quarter. Clients whose average balance falls below this level will be charged £1.00 for each transaction across the account. Clients who are in full-time education may bank with Adam & Company free of charge, providing the account does not overdraw more than £500. Our Managers often carry out additional work on behalf of clients for which there may be an additional charge.

Arrangement fees on loan or overdraft finance are subject to negotiation but will not normally exceed 1%. All charges for business accounts are subject to negotiation with our Managers.
