A flexible loan that you can access from your everyday account.
If you're an ASB customer and meet our lending and eligibility criteria, you'll see the option to add an overdraft in FastNet Classic internet banking or the ASB Mobile app. If you're a Tertiary or Graduate customer and you meet our lending and eligibility criteria, you may be able to access special overdraft offers. If you're not already an ASB customer, or you'd like to speak to us, call 0800 803 804 or visit your nearest branch.
If you're a brand new customer or recently joined ASB, you may not have the option to add an overdraft yet. If you're an existing ASB customer, you may not meet our eligibility criteria at this time, to meet our eligibility criteria, here are some ideas that may help.
An overdraft is a revolving loan that appears as a limit and available balance on your everyday account. It lets you borrow money up to your approved limit when your account balance goes below zero. You can use it when it suits you, and repay it when you can (provided you keep it within your approved limit). It's important to note that there are usually interest costs and fees associated with your overdraft – refer to the next FAQ 'What does it cost' to find out more.
An unarranged overdraft can occur if you spend more than your available balance or more than your arranged overdraft limit. It may lead to extra fees and interest costs.
When you use your overdraft limit, we charge you interest once a month to the account but calculate it every day – so you only pay for what you use, and you can save interest by paying it off sooner.
There is a monthly fee for having an overdraft. If you exceed your limit and go into an unarranged overdraft, you will be charged the monthly unarranged overdraft fee as well as the applicable unarranged overdraft interest rate.
It's important to keep an eye on your balance. It helps you make good use of your overdraft, and minimise your costs. You can decrease or remove your overdraft limit in FastNet Classic or the ASB Mobile app.
When money goes into your account, it's applied to your overdraft first, saving you interest.
