overdraft fee

Negative balance charge

An overdraft fee is a charge banks impose when an account holder spends more than their available balance, essentially borrowing from the bank to cover the transaction.

These fees typically range from $25 to $35 per occurrence, regardless of whether the overdraft is five dollars or five hundred: I got hit with three overdraft fees in one day from small purchases.
