Bank Overdraft

Bank overdraft is a negative bank balance that happens when withdrawals exceed available funds, but the bank covers the shortfall. It’s essentially a short-term loan and is recorded as a liability. Overdrafts may come with fees or interest, making them a costly form of credit if unmanaged.
