Overdraft protection is a service provided by banks that allows account holders to prevent their checking accounts from becoming overdrawn when they do not have enough funds to cover a transaction. With overdraft protection, the bank will cover the shortfall and allow the account holder to make the transaction, usually by extending a line of credit or transferring funds from a linked account. However, this service typically incurs fees and interest charges, which vary depending on the bank and the terms of the overdraft protection agreement.

This helps account holders avoid fees associated with insufficient funds and potential declined transactions. It provides a safety net in case of emergencies or unexpected expenses. However, it is important to note that overdraft protection is a form of credit, and the account holder is responsible for repaying the overdraft amount and any associated fees according to the terms and conditions set by the bank.
