overdraft protection
Definition
Credit arrangement under which a bank automatically extends a short-term loan to cover a check's amount that exceeds the check writer's (drawer's) account balance. This arrangement ensures the check is not returned (bounced) due to not sufficient funds (NSF) which may call for a criminal charge.
