What is an overdraft line of credit?
When you combine your U.S. Bank checking account with a reserve line of credit you’ll gain protection from overdrafts and pay no annual fees,1 only paying finance charges on the amount you borrow at 21.9% annual percentage rate (APR). You can even use your line of credit to cover short-term cash needs.
So, if you have an unexpected shortage of funds, your overdraft line of credit covers transactions that exceed the balance in your checking account.2
