Overdraft is a special facility provided to special and valuable customers. It is a facility wherein the customer can spend more than what is in his/her account. The customer can usually spend until a higher threshold set on his/her account.
Ex: Lets say you have Rs. 25000/- on your account and the bank has given you an overdraft facility of Rs. 10000/-
Then you can spend upto Rs. 35000/- from your account.
This extra 10000 that is available to you is called overdraft.
The bank would usually charge you a fee and interest for providing this facility.
Tell him about your overdrafts.
No. You can not tell by looking at a check if they have had overdrafts.
Bank overdrafts are flexible for different clients depending on account activities. Active accounts will tend to attract higher bank overdrafts as compared to dormant or less-active ones.
Overdrafts do not directly impact credit scores because they are not reported to credit bureaus. However, if overdrafts are not paid off and result in negative account balances, it can lead to collections or a closed account, which can then affect credit scores.

that's how they make money
I have overdraft protection, so my bank covers overdrafts instead of bouncing checks. This is useful because I have several auto-pay accounts, and I don't keep track of them well. However, overdrafts are charged to me at a rate of $30 a pop- if I had 120 overdrafts, that would be $3600. Just how disorganized is your checkbook? H-m-m-m?
Permanent overdrafts are a type of banking arrangement that allows an account holder to withdraw more money than is available in their account, up to a predetermined limit, on a long-term basis. Unlike temporary overdrafts, which are typically short-term solutions, permanent overdrafts are intended for ongoing use, often requiring the account holder to pay interest on the overdrawn amount. This facility is usually associated with regular income deposits, providing flexibility for managing cash flow. However, it can also lead to financial strain if not managed carefully.
The likely word is "sufficient" funds, with the negative as overdrafts or "insufficient funds".
Overdrafts have an ear because it is a fee charged by financial institutions when an account is overdrawn. This fee is typically charged for each transaction that exceeds the available balance in the account. It serves as a penalty for using more funds than what is available in the account.
Overdraft fees incur disadvantages onto both banking consumers and originating firms themselves. Overdrafts can represent a form of usury against economically at risk populations already struggling with meager financial resources.
