What is this interest rate?

"Single A Bank over-draft rate charged from time to time during such period by the Irish Clearing Banks to Borrowers."

Any help greatly appreciated.

The term 'clearing banks' refers to the main banks who clear cheques: AIB, BOI, NIB, Ulster and Permanent TSB.

Thanks.
I have a construction contract where the interest will be charged at 4% over whatever the Single A overdraft rate is. Therefore, there must be one rate that we can add to the 4% to determine what teh rate of interest due to the contractor is.

I have looked at the clearing banks rates and they are all different. there must be a single rate that is common to all clearing banks otherwise the rate of interest is incalculable.

Ask the people who drew up that contract. You've already figured out that there are different rates of interest so there is no single rate that can be used, you need to get it clarified by the other party.

I called the CIF and the Law Society neither had a clue what I was talking about!
The solicitor was able to get someone from his bank to confirm the rate.

Thanks for your replies. Problem solved.
