Type of account Expense
, Bank overdraft and interest on overdrawn
account
An overdraft facility means that the business can continue to write out cheques, even if
there is no more money left on their bank account – but to a limit. This is like a short-term
loan. Although it isn’t a loan, the business still uses the bank’s money, and therefore must
pay interest. Bank calculates interest daily and automatically subtracts it from the
business’s cheque account.

Stop & debit orders form part of services offered by the bank. The client must give written
instructions (stop order & debit order is completed), after which the bank automatically
deducts the amount from the client’s account and pays it into the account of the
beneficiary. Stop & debit orders cost less than writing out a cheque.
