An overdraft is when your bank pays a transaction that takes your checking account balance below zero. Some banks may charge you a fee when this happens. Learn more about overdrafts and how they work.

This means you won’t be charged a fee if your bank approves a transaction and there isn’t enough money in your account to cover it. While some banks charge overdraft fees, Capital One does not charge overdraft fees for consumer checking accounts.

Capital One has completely eliminated all overdraft fees for its consumer banking customers, while continuing to provide overdraft options. Read our press release to learn more.

As a Capital One customer, you can choose whether or not to enroll in an overdraft option. If you were enrolled in Next Day Grace, you’ve been automatically converted to the no-fee overdraft option. Eligible customers who aren’t currently enrolled can enroll at any time.
