8 Glossary of Terms
To make it easier for customers to understand what fees apply for services they use, Banks and Building Societies are using ‘standardised
terms’. These are intended to help customers compare the cost of service more easily. The standardised terms and their meaning are
set out below.
Term Definition
Maintaining the account The account provider operates the account for use by the customer.
Arranged overdraft The account provider and the customer agree in advance that the customer may borrow money when there
is no money left in the account. The agreement determines a maximum amount that can be borrowed, and
whether fees and interest will be charged to the customer.
Unarranged overdraft The customer borrows money when there is no money left in the account (or when the customer has gone
past their arranged overdraft limit) and this has not been agreed with the account provider in advance.
Refusing a payment due to lack of funds The account provider refuses a payment from the customer’s account because there is not enough money in it
(or it would take the customer past their arranged overdraft limit).
Allowing a payment despite lack of funds The account provider allows a payment to be made from the customer’s account although there is not enough
money in it (or it would take the customer past their arranged overdraft limit).
Direct debit The customer permits someone else (recipient) to instruct the account provider to transfer money from the
customer’s account to that recipient. The account provider then transfers money to the recipient on a date or
dates agreed by the customer and the recipient. The amount may vary.
Standing order The account provider makes regular transfers, on the instruction of the customer, of a fixed amount of money
from the customer’s account to another account.
Sending money within the UK The account provider transfers money, on the instruction of the customer, from the customer’s account to
another account in the UK.
Sending money outside the UK The account provider transfers money, on the instruction of the customer, from the customer’s account to
another account outside the UK.
Receiving money from outside the UK When money is sent to the customer’s account from an account outside the UK.
continued overleaf
17Term Definition
Cash withdrawal in pounds in the UK The customer takes cash out of the customer’s account in pounds at a cash machine, bank or Post Office
in the UK.
Cash withdrawal in foreign currency The customer takes cash out of the customer’s account in foreign currency at a cash machine or, where
outside the UK available, at a bank outside the UK.
Debit card payment in pounds The customer uses their debit card to make a payment in pounds. This can be in a shop, online or over
the phone.
Debit card payment in a foreign currency The customer uses their debit card to make a payment in foreign currency. This can be in a shop, online or
over the phone.
Cancelling a cheque The customer asks the account provider to cancel a cheque that the customer has written.
