First it is better to understand what is known as overdrawing. Basically this means that if you have $1 in your current account you can still write a cheque for $2 that is exceeding the actual balance! In that case your account will have minus $1 balance. This negative balance is a loan given to you by the bank.
A general characteristic of a loan is that you have to pay an interest. Similarly if bank overdraw (OD) your account you must pay back that with interest.
To have this credit facility, first you need to come to an agreement with bank which states how much you can overdraw your current account. Bank will consider amount of operations in your account, its tern over, your relationship with bank as well as a considerable security such as Cash, Immovable property etc. This kind of overdraft is known as "Regular Overdraft". That is how banks take money out!
"Temporary Overdraft" is a short term overdraft facility.
Similarly, there is another method of overdrawing. "Casual overdraft" is a overdraft which you really don't want to have an agreement with the bank but probably depend on your relationship with the bank and trust. As you can see, bank has no tangible security for casual overdraft. However, casual overdraft interest rates are much higher than a regular overdraft.
TIP: If you want more information on how banks create intangible money on your account you better see BASEL II code and stories regarding this.
