Overdrafts

Overdrafts Articles

An overdraft happens when you spend more money than you have in your account. Your bank may cover the transaction anyway—letting your balance go negative—but this comes with a cost. Understanding how overdrafts work, what fees banks charge, and what options you have to avoid them helps you manage your account without unexpected charges eating into your money.

These articles explain what triggers an overdraft, how much banks typically charge, and the difference between overdraft protection and overdraft fees. You'll learn what happens when your account goes negative, how to spot overdraft charges on your statement, and practical steps to keep your balance where you want it.
