An authorization given by a bank to a customer to overdraw his current account by cheque up to a stated limit.

CONT

For an overdraft the customer is permitted to 'overdraw' his current account by cheque up to a stated limit, at times and in amounts to suit his convenience. ... The advantage of the overdraft is that interest is paid only on the amount by which the customer is overdrawn in the period for which the interest is calculated, e.g. if a person has overdraft facilities for 1,000 [pounds] but is overdrawn only by 100 [pounds] he pays interest on 100 [pounds].
