With the Bank Australia Overdraft you will never have to worry about running out of funds. This facility links to your transaction account and allows you to still make purchases, withdraw cash, or pay bills even when you are out of funds. You will be charged interest on the money that you use, but that could be the better alternative to a declined transaction when you need it.

You have the option of adding this overdraft facility to your Bank Australia Everyday Access transaction account if you feel like you might need a bit of extra cash from time to time. With the overdraft attached, you can continue to spend even if the balance of your Everyday Access account goes below $0. This feature could be particularly handy if you get paid irregularly (for example you do shift work or you’re a freelancer) to help manage cash flow.
It’s a form of credit, so you do need to pay interest on the money you loan from the bank in the form of an overdraft. Plus, when you deposit money into the account it’ll reduce your overdraft amount owed first, before topping up your transaction account balance. So make sure you weigh up the cost of paying interest on the overdraft amount versus the inconvenience of being short of cash.
