BANKING AFFAIRS

Detailed explanation-1: -If you write a check for more money than you have in your account without any overdraft coverage, the check will not be paid but you will still be charged an NSF fee.

Detailed explanation-2: -Depending on the terms of your deposit account agreement, the bank can either return the check unpaid or they can pay the check. If paying the check results in an overdraft, the bank can assess an overdraft fee against your account. Overdraft fees must be disclosed in the deposit account agreement and fee schedule.

Detailed explanation-3: -An overdraft lets you borrow money through your current account by taking out more money than you have in the account – in other words you go “overdrawn”. There’s usually a charge for this. You can ask your bank for an overdraft – or they might just give you one – but don’t forget that an overdraft is a type of loan.

Detailed explanation-4: -You won’t be charged a fee, but your transaction won’t process. Second, non-electronic charges like checks may incur a non-sufficient funds (NSF) fee. The check won’t be processed, but you will incur a penalty that is similar to an overdraft fee.
