How do I open a Metro Bank current account?

You can either open an account online or by visiting your local Metro Bank branch. Opening a current account online is easy. All you need is photo ID, three years of address history and a selfie. You can start online banking instantly and your card will arrive in days or you can collect it from any store 7 days a week.

What overdraft options do Metro Bank offer?

Metro Bank offers arranged overdrafts on request. This will either be accepted or rejected depending on your personal circumstances. If you need to use your arranged overdraft and exceed your limit, Metro Bank will text you to let you know that you need to top up your account in order to minimise any interest charges.

Like most banks, if you don’t have sufficient funds in your account or an arranged overdraft and a payment is due to come out, Metro Bank will either give or extend an arranged overdraft so you can make the payment, or refuse the payment due to insufficient funds. In any month, you’ll never be charged more than the monthly cap of £60 for charges relating to an unarranged overdraft.

Metro Bank’s arranged and unarranged overdrafts have a typical interest rate of 34% APR (variable).

Does Metro Bank have a mobile app?
