What is an overdraft loan?
An overdraft loan is an approved amount of Money that allows you to use it, over and above the current balance in your account. With an overdraft loan, your bank will earn interest based on the amount of money you have use from your loan.

- Competitive interest rate: Although the interest rate for overdraft loans can be higher than interest rates for other loan types, the interest rate for overdraft loans is only calculated based on the actual outstanding overdraft balance and the number of days you have used the loan for. You can easily calculate your loan interest with the following formula:
Your monthly overdraft interest = (Total actual outstanding overdraft balance x Interest rate x Actual number of days the loan is used) / 365
Example: Your issued bank’s interest rate for overdraft loans is 9%. Your actual outstanding overdraft balance (the amount you used from your overdraft loan limit) is 5.000.000 VND and has been used by you for the past 14 days. If this is the case, the amount of interest you would have to pay is equivalent to:
Interest = (5.000.000 x 9% x 14) / 365 = 17.260 VND
