Overdrafts
An overdraft is a temporary facility that we give to our valuable customers. This facility enables a customer spend more than what is in his/her account. The customer is entitled to spend until a higher threshold on his/her account.
An overdraft acts as good backup for business people/businesses particularly when one has regular sales and purchases coming out of their account.
