Overdrafts are convenient but can cost 14–18 % per year once fees pile up.

4 Signs It’s Time to Refinance

  1. APR > 14 % after all charges.
  2. Utilisation > 60 % on most days.
  3. Personal guarantees tied to your family assets.
  4. Exit fee if you ever close the overdraft.

Switch Strategy

  • Calculate your true annual rate by dividing total interest + fees by average balance.
  • Compare against a revolving working-capital line quote.
  • If savings ≥ 3 %, refinance and redirect freed-up cash to marketing.
