Overdraft
The reassurance of having access to extra money if you ever need it, giving you flexibility and peace of mind.
Understanding overdrafts
An overdraft can be a useful emergency fund. But it’s important to manage this debt well. It’s a good idea to think about:
- Is an overdraft right for you?
- Ways to reduce interest and fees
- Support if you find it hard to stay within your overdraft limit
- Joint overdrafts, and what happens if someone can’t or won’t pay.
