An overdraft protection fee is a fee assessed to your account when:
1. You have set up overdraft protection for your checking account, usually in the form of a savings account or line of credit/credit card; and
2. You spend more money than you have in your checking account.
Overdraft protection transfers money from the linked savings account or line of credit/credit card in order to pay for the expenses that you did not have enough money for in your checking account. There is a fee for this transfer, but it is usually much less - sometimes a savings of 50% - than an insufficient funds fee, which you receive when you spend more money than you have and do not have overdraft protection.
