The Platinum cheque account comes with an overdraft facility for your business to access cash when there is none in the Platinum cheque account. An overdraft facility helps in many ways and the most important is helping you meet your business short term obligations when there is no cash in the bank account.
However, the overdraft facility comes with an interest. Moreover, the overdraft amount that your business can use will depend on how much overdraft your business qualifies for. To get an overdraft facility, your business will need to apply for it.
