Processing fees
The BOV Budget Account facility is subject to a one-time processing fee of €30. Should you wish to revise your limit a €15 fee will apply. Other than these quoted fees, there are no renewal fee, hidden costs or any additional charges.

Interest rates are agreed in advance and calculated on a daily basis on the utilised balance.

Currently, interest on the BOV Budget Account is charged at a margin of 3.25% per annum over the Consumer Lending Bank Base Rate**. The margin over the Bank’s Base Rate will depend upon whether the facility is secured or unsecured. In case of secured loan, the rate may vary according to the type of security offered.
