Overdrafts
Flexible overdraft facilities — secured or unsecured — available up to £1 million and designed around your individual financial profile.
Credit is subject to status and approval. Security and fees may apply. Over 18s only.
An overdraft facility must not be used for acquiring or retaining property rights in land or in an existing or projected building.
Automatic transfers to save or spend
Our Private Current Account comes with a convenient feature that automatically transfers surplus funds from your Coutts Private Current Account into an eligible Coutts savings account. Set it up through the Coutts app for daily, weekly or monthly transfers — an effortless way to put unused cash to work, build your savings and accrue more interest.
It works the other way as well — you can use automatic transfers to keep your Private Current Account topped up when it drops below a designated level.

We participate in the Current Account Switch Service which simplifies the process of switching your account to us.
