    Thanks for the ever educational content! We make such ill-informed decisions when young🤦🏾‍♀️. Been working to pay mine back the past few years - will get there soon

    I once had overdraft which was more than my salary. I had to take a loan from a different bank to pay my overdraft. Was young and didn't fully understand it. I will never ever have an overdraft.

    There's a difference between going into overdraft on your cheque account (meaning the balance becomes negative to allow for your debit orders to run) and HAVING an overdraft facility (which is a product and is priced differently kind of like a PL for example)... But agree with everything else

    You have the option of scheduling the overdraft over 12 months... Most banks will advise you to clear the OD with your 13th cheq that way you can still sort out your monthly expenses.

    If overdraft is a credit facility does that mean the more I use it and pay ut back, the better my credit score will get? 🤔

    I took a long term overdraft with fnb in 2018 of N$ 7000 and I only managed to pay back $1000 so far. I guess the problem has always been having to go to the bank and queue up.
    They Current charge me interest rates but it's quite small and that has been my 1st and last overdraft since. Hope to pay back the remaining 6000 soon and close off that account

      Sign up for online banking if you did not yet do so and you can pay off your at your comfort of your home and skip lines. You can call the bank on how to go about it.

    I know banks enjoy taking our monies. However, why would we pay to have an overdraft facility? Shouldn't that come with an account that you open with the banks or the interest you have to pay once you in overdraft?

    I have an overdraft with fnb, if I dnt use it 4 a specific month, I dnt pay anything. But if I use it, I pay around R69 service fee and less than R5 interest, maybe that's because my salary comes in on the 25th and cover the amount, b4 the charges.

    I dont understand this overdraft thing.because ive heard people say they took years to pay theirs back but you are talking about R1000.00.i dont understand why someone would struggle to pay back 1000rand.wouldnt it automatically get wiped out once you deposit more than R1000 in your account?

    Don't do overdraft once you borrow they only give you a short time to pay back if you don't pay back you can't touch your asset until you pay off your overdraft
