OVERDREW Meaning and Definition

1. Overdrew is a verb that refers to the act of withdrawing more money from a bank account than the account actually holds, resulting in a negative balance. It is the past tense of the verb "overdraw." When an individual overdrew their account, they went beyond the available funds in their bank account, exceeding the balance that was originally deposited. This can occur when a person writes a check or makes a debit card transaction for an amount greater than the money available in their account.

   Overdrawing a bank account can have several consequences. Financial institutions often charge overdraft fees to the account holder for the privilege of accessing additional funds that are not available. These fees can accumulate, creating a burden on the individual's financial situation. Additionally, overdrawing an account can negatively impact a person's credit score and their relationship with the bank. It is advisable for individuals to carefully monitor their account balances to avoid inadvertently overdrawing their accounts.

   In summary, overdrew describes the action of withdrawing more money from a bank account than the balance held, creating a negative balance. This can lead to financial consequences such as fees and potential damage to an individual's credit rating.
