How can I avoid unarranged overdraft fees?

Last Updated: 13 Apr 2026

If your account goes into an unarranged overdraft, you can avoid the unarranged overdraft interest charges by transferring money to return the account to credit by 11:30pm the same day. 

Tips to help you stay on top of your balance 

Use FastNet Classic internet banking or the ASB Mobile Banking app to check your balance and make transfers to cover any shortfalls at any time. 

Set up alerts 

You can sign up for email or app alerts if your account goes overdrawn.

If you act on the alert the same day, you’ll usually have time to fix it and avoid charges. 

You can also set an alert for when your balance drops to a level you choose. 

Keep an eye on your spending 

Spend Tracker in the ASB Mobile app shows where your money goes each month. 

It groups your spending automatically, making it easier to spot patterns and stay in control.
