An overdraft allows you to withdraw more money from your bank account than you actually have. It involves an agreement with your bank which lets you use an overdraft facility for an agreed amount, and usually the bank charges you for the period you use it.

Arranged Overdraft: This is based on a mutual agreement prior entered into by the lender and borrower (or a bank and customer) allowing withdrawal over and above the samount standing in the name of the later, preferably for some specific purpose.

An Un-arranged Overdraft: is where you spend more money than you have in your current account and haven't agreed an Arranged Overdraft limit beforehand. You’ll also go into an Un-arranged Overdraft if you go over the agreed limit of your Arranged Overdraft, if you have one.

This is usually based on a good relation and long standing relationships in between, Anyway in both cases, this will be set-off with the subsequent credits in the account by the later,  and is commonly a running account in nature.

Thanks for invitation,

Overdraft is using resource more than what was available without pre-approval. Means going beyond the line.

Pre-approved credits are loans.

An extension of credit from a lending institution when an account reaches zero. An overdraft allows the individual to continue withdrawing money even if the account has no funds in it. Basically the bank allows people to borrow a set amount of money.
