Granting the client an overdraft account for their businesses with ongoing cash flows to increase the business, industrial, or service according to the limits and specific guarantees agreed between them and the Bank. The advantages of an Overdraft are that a client may deposit funds into the account to reduce the balance and the interest incurred on it.

The account should be renewed annually by mutual consent, based on the client’s activity and the account. The interest should be calculated based on the highest daily debit balance and charged to the client’s account every month.
