An overdraft facility is a short-term credit option provided by banks, allowing account holders, especially businesses with current accounts to withdraw more money than is available in their account, up to a pre-approved limit. Interest is charged only on the overdrawn amount, and some banks may also apply processing or usage fees. It offers flexibility in managing short-term cash flow gaps and urgent expenses.
