overdraft fees
Negative balance costs
Overdraft fees are charges banks impose when an account holder spends more than their available balance.
The bank covers the shortfall temporarily but extracts a fee—often $25-35—for the service.
Critics note these fees disproportionately affect those already financially stressed, creating cycles of debt: I got hit with three overdraft fees in one day.
