How It Works

After an application and credit assessment, BCI Financial Group sets an approved limit for your overdraft line. You may link this facility to one or more deposit accounts. When your linked account balance falls below zero, the overdraft line automatically covers transactions up to the approved limit. Interest accrues only on the amount drawn, and you can make repayments at any time to restore available credit. Periodic reviews may adjust your limit based on account activity and credit performance.

Rates, Fees and Terms

Pricing is determined by creditworthiness, account history, and the requested limit. Interest is charged on the daily outstanding balance and billed monthly. There may be account maintenance or facility fees, and certain transactions may incur additional charges depending on your account package. BCI Financial Group provides a clear fee schedule and personalized quote during the application process to ensure full transparency and predictable costs.

Eligibility & Documentation

Eligibility typically requires an established relationship with BCI Financial Group, a minimum account history, and adequate creditworthiness. Required documentation may include financial statements, bank account activity, identification, and business registration documents where applicable. BCI’s onboarding team will guide you through the documentation checklist and application steps to expedite approval.

Risk Management & Controls

BCI Financial Group applies prudent credit underwriting and ongoing monitoring to manage risk. Overdraft limits are set conservatively and reviewed regularly. Automated alerts and reporting tools help you track utilization and avoid excessive borrowing. Optional safeguards include transaction limits, manual approval settings for large draws, and coordinated overdraft controls across multiple accounts.

2. Complete the application and submit required documentation for credit assessment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I increase my limit later?

Yes. Limits can be reviewed and increased based on account performance and credit reassessment.

Is interest charged on the entire limit?

No. Interest is charged only on the drawn balance, not the unused portion of the limit.

What happens if I exceed my approved limit?

Transactions that exceed the approved limit may be declined or incur return fees. Continued over-limit use will prompt a review and possible additional charges.
