overdraft
The amount by which withdrawals exceed deposits. It is an uncommitted loan facility; almost invariably on demand, that is capable of being required by the lending bank to be repaid (or reduced to zero) at any time, even if the borrower is not in default. In its proper use, it is really only a tool to aid cash flow management.
