How does my overdraft compare?

A good way to compare the cost of our overdraft with other overdrafts or other ways of borrowing is to look at the APR. The APR shows the cost of borrowing over a year. Our representative APR is 62.9%. This is based on an assumed arranged overdraft of £1,200 and includes the effect of maintaining the monthly account fee.

Click here for more information on TSB Joint Accounts

Added Value Accounts can only have up to two insured account holders on the account. Other parties such as appointed representatives can be added, but they will not benefit from the insurances.
To enable the Added Value Account to operate, TSB share limited account details with the insurers. This means we only share one address per account with the insurers.

Benefits

Convenient way to share outgoings like shopping, bills, mortgage or rent payments
You'll both get your own Visa debit card for payments and cash
You can still keep your own current account and open an additional TSB joint account, and move money between the two accounts easily

Important things to remember

Along with the benefits of opening a joint account, there are also extra responsibilities. Here are a few things to consider:

Each person can make withdrawals, use cash machines or apply for an overdraft without needing the other's approval

Apply for a joint account

You can open a joint account or add someone to your existing account at your nearest branch. You'll both need to go into a branch so that you can provide identification in person.

Travel Insurance and pre-existing medical conditions

If you have an Added Value Account with travel insurance, then the cost of this will be included in the monthly maintaining the account fee. Please check the terms and conditions of your policy to see what (if any) pre existing medical conditions are covered. If you have told the insurer about a pre-existing medical condition they may ask you to complete a medical screening to make sure that you have the appropriate level of cover for your individual circumstances.
If the insurer is unable to offer cover to you or anyone else intended to be covered by this policy due to a pre-existing medical condition, then you may be able to obtain cover from a specialist travel insurance firm.
The Financial Conduct Authority has worked with Money Helper to provide a directory of specialist travel insurers that may be able to assist you. ‘To access the directory please visit moneyhelper.org.uk/en/everyday-money/insurance/travel-insurance-directory or call 0800 138 7777. Please be aware you may not be able to find cover for undiagnosed symptoms and you may be made to wait until you have a diagnosis before receiving cover elsewhere.
Please note: any cover that you obtain via this route will be in addition to the travel insurance that you already have with your Added Value Account. It will have a separate cost and could mean you have dual cover.
If this is the case, you may want to think about whether your Added Value Account remains appropriate for your needs.
